Random Thoughts

Yes, we finally saw RIO the other night. Thanks to BIL for treating us for dinner and movie.

It was a fun movie. And the girls were so looking forward to it. Eating pop corn was also another thing. Watching a movie is never complete without popcorn. The kids associated popcorn with movie that's why everytime we watch, popcorn should be cooked. Even if we are at home, they would request for popcorn!

This is the reason why I wanted to get a popcorn maker. It's just different from those microwaveable ones. I remember when I was a kid, my family and I would cook popcorn every weekend. We had a popcorn maker bought from the US. It was very useful since microwaveable popcorns were not yet available during that time. The excitement of seeing the popcorn slide through the popcorn maker is so different from hearing it pop from the microwave. I can remember the smell too (up to now). The butter that melts along with the popcorn. Those were the days when everything was so simple. It was our bonding moment and I will never forget those moments.

Now, I want to get those popcorn machines for my kids. They love popcorn to bits and they would appreciate this. We can use this every weekend. I'm looking at a couple of options from ePopcorn.com. The machines look sturdy and of good quality. I can order online and have it shipped to my Mom's. Just the thought of it makes me really excited! I'm sure the kids would feel the same way too.
