Toycon Philippines 2012
My mom and I went to the opening of the 11th Philippines Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention at the Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall today. Why did we go? Well, my mom had to do some work. The college she works for has a booth there.
I had a great time looking at the different toys and I was able to buy a cheap Pokemon marble shooter. My mom also got a really cool doll camp for Nicki for only 200 bucks!
Check out some of our photos from the convention. If you love toys, I suggest you visit this awesome convention. They are open until Sunday so don’t miss out on the fun! I plan to go back again. =) Continue reading →
Nicki’s Favorite iPad Games (as of June 8, 2012)
I am Nicki. I am almost 5 years old. These are my three favorite iPad games.
Dollhouse
1. Dollhouse – I like “Dollhouse” because I am good at cleaning the house. I also like the mini games inside the house like cupcakes and alphabets.
2. Toki Tori – I like Toki Tori because I am good at fighting the monsters and going to the egg.
Temple Run
3. Temple Run – I like Temple Run because I am good at helping people run and jump. This is an exciting game.
Nathan’s Top 5 Favorite iPad Games (as of June 8, 2012)
I recently wrote about Smurf Village. Now, I want to share my top 5 favorite iPad games. Nicki will also share her top 3 in another post. Here they are!
These are the talking friends, Tom, Ben, Angela and Gina.
1. Talking Friends – I like this game because it has lots of fun stuff and copies my voice in a funny way. I recommend this game for other kids. My favorite talking friend is Tomcat but my sister likes Gina the giraffe.
Airport Mania
2. Airport Mania – This is my fave game because it’s fun and challenging and you get to know about different sorts of planes. I recommend this game for smart people.
Puffle Launch
3. Puffle Launch – Puffle Launch was inspired by the popular online game for kids called Club Penguin. I recommend this game for people who like Club Penguin like me! Hahaha! In Puffle Launch, you tap the puffles to launch to the direction the cannon is pointing at. The rest of the cannons will be a surprise.
Snoopy Street Fair lovin it!
4. Snoopy Street Fair – Also from Beeline, Snoopy Street Fair is similar to Smurf Village which I talked about before. I recommend this game for those who like Snoopy and the whole Peanut gang. In Snoopy Street Fair, you build and create a fair to collect money. What I like about this is that you can read what the customers are thinking by tapping their clouds. If only this were true in real life, we will be able to read people’s minds! Hahahaha!
Where’s my water? Swampy’s here!
5. Where’s My Water? – I like this game because it is challenging and it has a lot of levels. In this game, you dig to guide the water to the pipe to Swampy’s shower. The update of the game has two new sets of levels. The first one is “Cranky Story” and the second one is “The Lost Levels”. I hope you have fun! I recommend this game for ages 6 or higher.
The Deens bond over Monopoly Deal
The Deens have been bitten by the Monopoly Deal bug. This card game puts a new spin on the old Monopoly card game, making it a fun and challenging game for Caths, Nathan, and myself. (Nicki isn’t quite there yet, but while we play, she’s usually playing her Barbie’s on our bed.)
Nathan is only eight, but he has beaten us on occasion. He can be a sore loser at times, but then again, his dad’s definitely a sore loser, so I can tell where he gets it from! Hahaha! Despite the occasional short temper, this game has brought us closer than most other games have, and we genuinely enjoy playing this game and being in each other’s company.
What about you? What family games do you have?
