I went back home for 3 days last week and celebrated my father's 60th birthday and my nephew's 7th birthday. Before I left, I told my nephew that I'll be making Tatlong Bibe soaps for them. Harry just smiled. I knew that smile.. It means yes, I want that.
Today, i'll share the making of rubber ducky soaps aka bibe soaps. There is this nursery rhyme entitled six little ducks then it was tagalized into tatlong bibe (3 ducks - it was a parody featuring 3 Philippine politicians).
Just a head's up.. I sang an excerpt of the song and I dedicate this to my apat na bibe: Mama, Papa, and two nephews - Gelo and Harry.
Here is the song lyrics just in case you want to sing a long with me (Tagalog and English)
Tatlo Bibe (Tagalog Version)
1. May tatlong Bibe akong nakita
Mataba, Mapayat mga Bibe
Ngunit ang may pakpak
Sa likod na iisa
Siya ang lider na nagsabi ng
Kwak, kwak, kwak
2. Tayo na sa ilog ang sabi
Kumendeng ng kumendeng
Ang mga bibeNgunit ang may pakpak
Sa likod na iisa
Siya ang lider na nagsabi ngKwak, kwak, kwak.
Three Ducks (Translated by Cathy)
1. I saw three ducks,
Fat, Skinny, Ducks,
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back,
He was the leader who said
quack, quack, quack
2. Let's go to the river said the leader
wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble
all the ducksBut the one little duck
With the feather on his back,
He was the leader who said
quack, quack, quack
Here is the finished product:
