What's Da Buzz?

Crying over a Barbie movie is absolutely crazy. My family and I decided to watch the Barbie movie Island Princess tonight. Since our daughter loves Barbie, I thought it would be fair to her to watch the movie together. I was skeptical about this movie and expected it to be just like one of the previous ones. What I didn’t really expect was in the end that I would cry. Why would I cry over a Barbie’s movie? Well, there is a reason why. I grew up primarily without my mom around. The first part of the movie was this young girl who grew up with the animals in that island. Of course, just like any other fairy tale a prince came and found her. It was rather cute and my intention was to sneak out of the living room then tackle the dishes while my hubby and my daughter are watching together.

However after 30 minutes, I found myself singing with Roh or Rosella. The musical score was really good and you could easily sing with the tune. The lullabies that she sang touched my heart. The last part of the movie that really made me cry was when her mother found out that her missing daughter is indeed Roh who grew up in the island with the animals. That’s when my tears started falling down my cheeks. I just couldn’t help myself but to cry. I know it’s crazy but the song makes me cry.

Could it be because I missed my mom so much that even the Barbie song made me cry? Growing up without a mother was not easy. I skipped that part of my life. I wish I could go back and change that chapter of my life. I am a mother myself now but still there’s a part of me that wants to go back and grow up with my mom around. That’s why I cannot wait for the day when my Mom and I are together. My goal is bring my mom here and be closer to her. I want to be able to take care of her and tell her how much I love her.

To those of you who grew up without your mother by your side, I know the feeling. To those who have their mother around and do not get along well with them, please be thankful. There may be times that you wish your mother does not tell us to do this and that but God gave us mothers to protect us and guide us. Remember, “Honor thy mother and thy father”. Without them, you wouldn’t be here in this world. Okay, this is rather long and getting corny.

I’d recommend watching this movie. To Nanays out there, this would be something to watch with your daughter. I am attaching the music video (where I started crying) grabbed from Youtube. Enjoy!
