Last wednesday, Donald and I (with Ella in tow) went downtown to inquire about the advertisement about the new promo on internet connection. We were already downtown when Ella asked me if we are going to "downtown" which later on I understood that she meant MALLS. I asked her why, she whispered "I'm gonna buy projects." Projects is what she calls for paper, glue, yarn, crayons, colored pens, water colors, pencil, scissors and anything that she could use for her "art attack". We went inside SM and agreed that Donald will go ahead and find where to apply for a connection, while I and Ella went to the school's supplies department. Had I forgotten about my promise to her to buy her "projects", I have not gone with her to look for "projects". I promised her two weeks ago that we will buy coloring book and crayons. This is what she got. Really giant coloring book! Maybe you're wondering why I promised her crayons and coloring book...here's the story:
Two weeks ago We were in Trento, Agusan del Sur (3 hour ride from Davao City) for the monthly visit to the congregation there. I was asked to teach the children and I decided to teach about "creation". I asked Donald to buy cardboard and I drew pictures so I could have at least a decent visual aid. Day 1 is very easy to draw. Just black and white. Day 2 is just as easy as the first, I drew sky and the sea and colored it blue. I managed to draw fishes and birds (with large bellies :-) wonder how they can fly with that :-)) Then came the flowers, grass and trees. I am good with that. The next: animals. Whew! I spent almost 30 minutes trying to make my giraffe not to look like a dog with long a neck. What I did is let Ella draw animals and she did it with no sweat! :-) Snake, bear, dolphin, giraffe, dog, cat and crocodile. She is very creative and very imaginative. I have compiled all her "art attack things" on a folder and will give it to her on her 18th birthday. I had a wonderful presentation because of her obra maestra and the kids enjoyed my story. But that's not the reason why she got "projects".
After our class, I have to leave them busy so they won't be running around during the worship. I have to be there because Donald will be giving the message. I asked Ella if she could let the other kids use her crayons and her own coloring books to keep everyone busy. Good thing that she brought along 3 coloring books and 2 sets of crayons. If you think that is the reason, you are definitely right. :-)
