Goodbye my love... Greg Wiggle

Geez, i'm upset. My secret love, Greg (Wiggle) Page, has officially stopped performing with The Wiggles. I'm attaching the article here that explains why he won't be with them any more.

I just wanna say that he will be very missed in the Manalo/Maniquis house holds (my parents are fairly attached to him as well). I'm not sure Marley will notice at all cause we have most of their DVD's and have almost every episode of The Wiggles on my parents TiVo. By the way, did you know he's only 34 years old? That's as old as Manny....

So, the next question is... who's replacing Greg? The "second fiddle's" name is Sam Moron.. i mean Moran. And yes, i am already bias against him. When Greg started to fall ill in the middle of the US tour, Sam took over his place so i guess he knows the drill. It just doesn't seem right though. If you know the lyrics to Big Red Car, you'll know what i mean.

"Sam is doing the driving

singing "Scooby doo wa"

blech, i already want to start boo-ing. So now let me introduce you to "Second Fiddle Sam".

Well, his hair's not as lush, but i guess he'll do. Now, if anything else happens to any other Wiggle, i may explode to a blubbering mess.

My little artist!

Yesterday the Lee-lai and I were coloring in her Dora coloring book (thanks to Uncle Tweeks and Auntie Joanne). As we were coloring, i notice my monster was drawing a picture.... an actual picture! She drew a circle, then 2 more circles for eyes, and a straight line for a mouth. I was all excited and started praising her..... and then she "shhushhed" me (yeah, she likes to keep me in check). Anyway, she proceeded to draw arms, and legs!!!! I was beyond words at this point. For those who don't know... i can't draw for schnazziez, so seeing this made me want to cry. I grabbed the camera and started snapping away.

Here is her first picture

Here, she's drawing her second person.

What's funny too (actually, it's kinda scary) is that i asked her who these people were, and she said they were people from upstairs. Hmm..... since we were home alone, i tried not to think too much of it.

Happy Birthday Mmmmmarley!

We had a good three days of celebrating Marley's birthday!

We first hit up the Aquarium in Long Beach with Little Famini. Alas, i forgot my camera. But i know Mama Famini took some real good pictures of the gals, and the birds taking advantage of me. We also were able to touch some sharks, stingrays, and fish that looked like Dori from Finding Nemo.

Next, we have Lee-lai's official birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Word of advise, if you're gonna have a Chuck E. Cheese party, 1. Have it on a weekday if possible cause there's no time limit on how long you can stay in your party area, 2. Bring hand wipes, and 3. If your kid is chicken-ni-ni when they see live characters, i.e. Mickey Mouse... then keep you kid at least 100 yards away from Chucky cause i have to admit, even I was a little creeped out by him. With this said, We had a blast!!!!

(more pictures to come...promise)

Then, for her official birthday, we went to Casa de Juarez for some Trick-Or-Treating. But first, i have a funny story. Before we left, some trick or treaters came by for some candy. When we opened the door, Marley saw one of the kids that had a skeleton mask on, and she screamed in utter fear! She then ran to the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. It all happened in a matter of seconds. Manny was like "where'd she go?" We were laughing so hard, poor lee-lai.
Anyway, Nina Mitor was the photographer of the evening, and she took some great pics of the crew. After i steal those from her..... i'll share those too.

Adios for now!
