Summer Fun Activity: Guitar Lessons

Tweet

My son chose to enroll in guitar lessons this summer break. He already has 2 guitars, one is in Manila and I bought another one here in the province. I bought the second guitar last summer break when I enrolled him in guitar and piano lessons. Those lessons were unsuccessful because one: he keeps complaining that his fingers hurt after each guitar lesson and two: he didn't practice when we got back home in Manila so he completely forgot his lessons.

But this year he's getting good in playing the guitar. Maybe because I didn't choose what he should enroll in. He also asked his teacher to help him learn "Crash" by Matt Willis, a song featured on the movie "Mr. Bean's Holiday". He gets to play the songs that he likes and he now loves playing the guitar. My niece, who’s taking piano lessons might buy a guitar or a banduria because she wants to learn how to play another musical intrument this summer break. RJ wants to learn how to play the drums. Maybe next year, we’ll see.

Green Lantern, can’t wait for the next one

So, we watched Green Lantern last Sunday afternoon. It’s a thumbs up for me because it’s an action-comedy movie. Although, come to think of it, it’s actually not action-packed. Green Lantern had a bloodless fight with the villains but that’s the most action that I can remember from the movie. But I enjoyed it and can’t wait for the next one. My sister’s find Thor more funny, but not for me! I saw my son laughing, while he was preparing to go to sleep that night, and when I asked him why he said that he remembered a funny scene from the movie.

Ryan Reynolds, with his abs and well-toned body, is really good in comedy. I first saw him in Two Guys, a Girl and a pizza place, which was later on changed to Two Guys and a Girl, an ABC sitcom.

I watched all episodes of that show because one, I love comedy TV shows and two, because Ryan Reynolds is so funny. I’m a sucker for comedy, not love stories. I’d rather have a good laugh than cry.

I hope the next Green Lantern movie is as funny as the first one.

I got curious with this Korean "edutainment" theme park when I first saw it featured on a morning show. So off we go to Seriland The Land of Happy Thoughts last Sunday afternoon.

There are four activities, with an entrance fee of Php150 each, to choose from. The Mirror Maze, 3D Trick Art Musem, 3D Cinema Plus and Kids’ Paradise. There's an on-going promo of buy 3 get 1 ticket for free until the end of May 2011. Kids and adults have the same entrance fee.

We had the most fun at the trick art museum.

Both kids and adults will enjoy visiting Seriland, located at the 2nd floor of Manila Ocean Park, especially the Trick Art Museum. But there's no point in coming back. Not unless there are new activities and new trick arts in the future.
