Kara and her crush, Jed Madela
This afternoon, after bringing the babies to the doctor (jeremy to have his 6-in-1 booster shot) and cassie for another check-up, we went to SM to do some shopping, and since there were so many people, we #went to nearby Robinson’s to eat at KFC (my sister anne loves chicken so much, she now has wings!)
While there, we found out Jed Madela was going to have a show. While we were eating, we heard the show start, and in a few minutes, Jed was already belting one of his songs. Kara told me she had a crush on Jed and that she wanted to watch. I asked her if she wanted us to buy his album so she could have it autographed. She was smiling from ear to ear upon hearing my question.
She couldn’t wait to finish her food so she could go and watch Jed at the activity area. Later, anne, Jeremy and I followed her and Ate Michelle who was holding Cassie and who also went ahead so she could watch. When I saw they were ok, I went to the table where Jed’s CDs were displayed for sale. The cheapest was i think his first album, selling for P150. Another was priced at P280 (this one, a repackaged CD), the third, at P300 which is his current album and the fourth, a combination of his first and second albums which cost P500. I wanted to give Kara both his albums so i bought the last.
After buying this, I went to kara and gave her the CDs. I could see how happy she was, she was smiling from ear to ear, and even told me Thank you twice. 
I was already happy just to see her smile at me.
I remember a few years back, when Sarah Geronimo did a mall tour at SM Sta. Rosa. We were there, but it was not intentional. Anyway, I asked Kara if she wanted to buy the CD and she said no. We went home after that. Later that night, I found out she actually wanted to buy the CD so she could have her photo taken with Sarah and have her autograph, too. I didn’t know it would frustrate her so I vowed to myself that the next time we get the chance to see an artist she really likes, I would buy that artist’s albums so she could have her autograph and photo taken with that artist, too. This afternoon, that was exactly what she got.
It’s not in Kara’s nature to insist on having something unless she’s well aware it’s also one of our top priorities. So naturally, she never told me she wanted a CD of Jed. But I could not pass up the opportunity. And i proved myself right because when she got the CDs, happiness was written all over her face. I was so touched that I fought tears of happiness, too. My baby’s joy is my joy, after all.
KFC merienda: P500+
Jed Madela’s albums: P500
Kara’s gratitude and happiness: PRICELESS.
oh yeah, true, their joy is ours, too…so kinilig ka rin para sa kanya, hehehe.
i still can’t believe how fast time flies. parang kelan lang sya bininyagan ah. now she has a celebrity crush at ibinibili mo na ng album, kunsitidorang nanay, haha! but i would’ve done the same thing if i were in your place.
it’s nice to read of warm, bonding moments like these about you two
more of naiyak ako because it was really touching to see her very happy, thanking me profusely for that very simple gesture. I think that’s what separates Kara from most girls. She always thanks us whenever she receives something from us, no matter how small it is. my darling really has a good head between her ears, and a much nicer heart within.
