The Ice Cream Truck

     I was at home playing with my dolls and ice cream truck and then I got an idea for my videos. I started to make a new one and I called it the ice cream truck. I had play-doh for the ice cream and I had lots of stuff dolls for the characters and of course my big ice cream truck. This ice cream truck was bought by my uncle Ron.  I really love the ice cream truck and Hana really likes it too!



     It was fun making it and I hope you'll enjoy watching this fun silly happy video! By the way, this is a two-part video, do not forget to watch the other video.

Playing Lego Bricks with Hana

     I made these lego buildings to play with Hana, it's one of her favorite toys. I play and look after her at the same time so she won't put the small bricks in her mouth.  It's fun taking care and playing with my sister that is why I made this video to show my care for her but she can't understand it yet. Maybe when she grows up and can see it, she will be happy that I've played with her.


     Do you have a baby sister or a brother too? Maybe you can show your love and care by playing with them too. I hope you like this video, bye until next time!

Adventure in Atok

We went to Atok in a cold and frosty morning. It was early in the morning, people were still sleeping. We travel to catch the sunrise and it was already blue hour when we get there and the sight was wonderful. We are going to three destinations, Northern Blossoms, Sakura Park and Lourdes Grotto. This is my second time here already and this article is about my two trips in Atok.

Sunrise

Northern Blossoms

At Northern Blossoms, there were flowers of all kinds like the snapdragons that open and shut when you hold its tip.

Snap Dragons

But I should tell you the best of all are the rose cabbages. The rose cabbages look so beautiful and the water or the dew on it makes them look sparkly. You can eat the cabbages too!

Rose Cabbages

When we went there the first time there were lots of flowers in the garden and lesser now because of the bad weather and the flowers get destroyed and some people accidentally step on them but I still really like the garden because the view is spectacular. You can see Mount Pulag across, some of my photos captured the mountain when I took a photo of the garden. By the way, my cousin, Ate Brax, almost slipped and her shoes got dirty and that was really funny so you should be careful too. I got my shoes wet too so you should always look where you’re going.

After all that it was time for breakfast, we ate at Northern Blossom itself. We had overflowing bread and coffee. I didn’t drink coffee because I’m still young so my cousin and I ate bread instead. The first time we went there, we had sauteed dried fish, longganisa, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, sweet potato and lots more. I would love to tell you more about the meal but I completely forgot. Anyway, maybe when you’ll go there, you can order their breakfast too.

Sakura Farm

After Northern Blossoms, we went to Sakura Farm but some of the cherry blossoms haven’t bloomed yet but there are still some flowers left. I really love cherry blossoms and my name is Sakura, cherry blossoms in Japanese. Here are my photos of the cherry blossoms.

And because we only ate bread, we ate breakfast at Sakura Farm instead with our packed meal. We had a breakfast picnic there and we run around afterward. By the way, I saw lots of animals the first time we went there but this time around  I only saw a goat.

Lourdes Grotto

Next, we went to Lourdes Grotto and it was a long walk. We saw some beautiful flowers along the way. My auntie bought me a bunny ear plant and I named it Spike. I haven’t bought any plant before so my Auntie Thet bought one for me this time.

We went inside a cave and climbed the rocks and my dad broke his glasses but I fixed it and we went inside the cave and climbed the rocks again but my cousin was really scared that time but she still climbed anyway.

The Grotto

The trip was awesome I hope you’ll have an amazing road trip to Atok too! Well, we have to cut this trip now because we are going to Sagada but that will be another story, bye!

Learning about Bees for Kids

     What do you know about bees? Bees are flying insects and they make honey. I know you already know these but let’s go to the fun facts to get to know more about these flying insects.

My drawing of a cute bee!

Fun Facts

• Male bees are called drones. 
• Male bees don’t have a stinger.
• When a bee stings, they will die afterward because their stings have little barbs. When it stings, the barb is ripped off from their tummy.
• Carpenter bees are not barbed so when they sting, they don’t die.
• Females bees are called worker and they maintain the beehive.
• A queen bee can lay 2,500 eggs a day.
• If the queen bee dies, the female bees will choose young larvae and they will feed it with a special food called royal jelly.
• Bee colonies are found in every continent except Antarctica, well probably because it’s cold there.
• One colony can produce 90 pounds of honey.
• A worker can only produce 1/12 teaspoon of honey.
• Smoke calm bees.
• Bees can see all the colors except the color red.

What does honey do?

     Honey can make you smarter, in fact, it’s the only insect food I’ve ever seen! Honey has minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and it also contains fructose and lots more. Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits and vegetables.
   
     Honey can help you when you have a cough and cold and it can heal your wounds faster so honey is healthy to eat but be careful and don’t feed babies honey because it’s not safe for two years old so I told my mom not to feed my baby sister Hana because she might get sick.

     There are a lot of bees but only the honey bees make honey. Honey bees have two stomachs. One is where they store nectar called honey stomach then the other is where their food is digested. The sweet nectar from the honey stomach is delivered to the hive. From there, some of the workers chew on the nectar and puts the honey in the honeycombs. Then the beekeepers will harvest the honey and sell them or deliver them to stores.

     If I was a bee, I’d like to be the queen and lay as much as 2500 egg. Well, that’s the queen’s job anyway! Well, I hope you were able to learn something about the bees as much as I did!
