Monday Malling with the Kulilits

I checked out all the Standard Chartered Bank Credit Card charge slips that I collected and discovered that some are almost faded already (A problem with thermal paper. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!) kaya I decided to exchange it na with SM gift pass bago pa mahuli ang lahat (minsan kasi they don't accept na when the charge slips are unreadable already).

So ayun na nga, I need to go to SM para mapapalitan ko ng SM Gift Pass ang mga charge slips ko. Pero I have one big problem. That is I need to go to SM Southmall with the kulilits (knowing na I don't have a yaya to bring with me and knowing them na ginagawang huge playground ang Southmall every time we go there). Pero malakas talaga ang fighting spirit ko kaya tinuloy ko pa rin ang pagpunta sa mall since it's one tricycle away lang naman from our house.

But...but...but... may ganito munang eksena sa bahay bago kami umalis...

Me: Come here boys, I need to talk to you first before we go to SM.

Ian and Chris: Both sat on the chair and listened to me.

Me: Boys, we will go to SM but you'll promise me one thing ha. You'll behave there since we don't have anybody to go with us...

Ian and Chris: Okay...

Me: No running around and you'll just hold mommy's hand ha...

Ian and Chris: Okay...

Me: You promise mommy or else we will not go to SM anymore...

Ian and Chris (doing a promise sign): Okay...

Ang cute nila talaga kasi marunong na umintindi. Akala mo totoo kasi may promise sign pa na nalalaman. Anyway, natutunan nila yung promise sign sa "The Princess and The Frog" interactive story sa iPad kung saan yung King nag-propromise sign habang sinasabi sa Princess na "Always keep your promise!"

So ayun, lumarga na kaming mag-iina. Pero nung pagbukas ko ng front door, nakalimutan kaagad ang promise sa akin. Nagsipagtakbuhan kaagad na akala mo nakawala sa preso. Haaayyyssstttt. Pero I talked to them and reminded them about their promise. Buti at nakinig. Hahaha.

So we rode a tricycle going to Southmall. Enjoy na enjoy nila ang ride promise! Behave naman sila at naglakad with me. They even went up and down the overpass. Buti na lang at hindi nagpakarga kundi baka magcollapse ako sa bigat nila. Hehehe.

Inside Southmall, we saw this e-vehicle service and nag-joy ride muna kami around the mall. Masaya na sila doon. Lam mo naman yang mga kulilits na yan, lahat ata ng klase ng vehicles gustong sakyan eh. Then nagpababa kami near the department store na para pumunta sa area kung saan magpapapalit na ako ng gift pass. Unfortunately, out of stock ang hundreds nila na giftpass and next week pa magiging available kaya fail ang lakad namin. Since malapit na magfade yung charge slips ko, I told the staff na lagyan ng note na i-aaccept pa rin kahit maging unreadable na. She is nice naman and nilagyan ng note with signature yung back part ng charge slips ko. She even informed me na puwede ko ipakuha na lang sa ibang tao yung gift pass para hindi na ako mahirapan.

After that, we went to Tous le Jours to inquire if puwede nilang lagyan ng writing yung cake (I'm planning kasi to buy a cake there for the kulilit's birthday on Friday). Then, we saw the e-vehicle again and rode it going to the other side of the mall. Lunch na rin kasi and I still have some charge slips good to claim solo meals from Kenny Rogers. So there we went to Kenny Rogers to eat lunch.

Here are the kulilits on high chairs...
