LoboCat





LoboCat is our superhero disguised as a cat.

He sees to it that children are always safe especially when they are playing, studying, travelling or sleeping. 

He can fly by jettisoning balloons hidden in his backpack that automatically wrap around his arms. If he fights in mid-air he repositions the balloons on his back to free his arms. Needless to say, he can also put them wherever he wants to perform various acrobatic maneuvers:


- on his feet to dive or descend very fast,
- on his left arm to fight with his right hand,
- on his right arm to wave to his fans with his left hand after  performing some heroic deeds,
- on his hips to hover around like a helicopter when  performing some delicate rescue mission,
- on his head when ascending rapidly on a steep and limited  space but never on his neck for obvious reasons.

Being a cat, he can see in total darkness, leap above tall obstacles, jump down from great heights landing perfectly safe on his padded feet, hear the slightest sound from miles away and detect his enemy's location by flicking his tongue.

His strength is amazing but he has his Achilles' heels, WATER. Water drains him of his strength and superpowers just like Superman's  kryptonite. He becomes an ordinary cat. He must find ways to dry himself up to become once more LOBOCAT.

To avoid this dilemma, he never takes a bath but just wipes himself clean with a wet hand towel. He sustains his powers by regularly drinking milk, occasionally eating dried mangoes, exercising diligently and sleeping at least 8 hours a day.

He purrs when sated.

Het Eerste Gekste Verjaardagsfeest van 2013!


The Birthday Boy Niels!
Well, that title earns its place.  It was the first craziest birthday party of the year!

We found that Niels' birthday party can perfectly be at the same venue as Nina's birthday.  It wasnt too big so we were able to supervise where the kids are.  It was clean and the service was perfect!  No too long waiting time for the food, timing was very good and all our wishes were granted!

The table was decorated with banderitas, a souvenier for every kid, and a Superman cape that the kids thought first as the napkin to put around their neck when their eating, so I started explaining that its the cape of Superman!  Then they all wanted to have it on! (Thanks Ninang Geli! It was a hit!)

It was not only fun but also quite useful cause we can recognize the kids that are with us from AFAR!

So as soon as the first kid came in...I mean even before the first kid came in, Niels and Nina were already unstoppable!  They were already ALL OVER the playground!

Kids from school, Nina, Celeste, Fee and Stig were the kids that composed our group.

Niels blew his cake first.  When it was time to eat the cake, it was a total flop!  Some kids doesnt want cream, the others doesnt want the fruits on it, and some doesnt want anything at all...THEY ALL JUST WANT TO GO BACK PLAYING!  So the cake that was supposed to be for 20 people was only about 60% consumed.

They all opened their souvenirs as well...the wrapping, the origami and the glueing that kept me awake until 3 o'clock in the morning just to finish making it, took about 2 seconds to tear the wrapper open.  They liked it but didnt have time to look longer what it actually was, they went back off playing!

After dinner, Niels opened his gifts and everyone was so proud to give Niels their gift so he can open it next.  The gifts were all so nice!  And he remembers good which gift came from who...

Anyways, the most important thing was that they had fun, I had fun and was happy that everything went good.

Im not gonna bore you any longer with my nagging, see the pictures below!
