“Wanna see what happens in a bag of Nips?
What goes on before they touch my lips?
They make a rainbow… (Chololate Nips)
A choco rainbow… (Chocolate Nips)
And then they color all the flowers and they paint the trees
So sweet and delicious look at all those bees
When I want fun I get a bag of Nips
and make a rainbow!
Nips… Nips!” -=(“,)=-

I remember catching a glimpse of count this…7..rainbows on a flight home from Palawan. This was many moons ago but to this day it all seems so fresh in my mind. I haven’t found anything quite so ideal as of yet :)

I remember we had to remember the colors of the rainbow in our Science class…ROYGBIV.=) I have a 3-yr old daughter and it’s so sad that she has yet to see a rainbow. Just a month ago, after a downpour, my hubby was walking me to the bus stop, and there it was staring right infront of me, a HUGE rainbow! I think, the last time I saw one was when I was still in HS. So you can just imagine my excitement, and hubby can’t understand what I’m so excited about. I had wanted to take a pic but my camera phone can’t zoom that far. As for the rainbow song, I sing to my daughter the Nips jingle, and that was a long time ago, I can’t get the lyrics right.

Always a beautiful sight!
MM, thank you as always, for writing about interesting things.
Simple things can also be pleasures to treasure.
Catalina, I also liked that “50 First Dates” song version
of Over the Rainbow.

Unfortunately he died I believe in 1997 at the age of 38 due to obesity. IZ’s renditions were heard in Finding Forrester (with Sean Connery) and Meet Joe Black (with Brad Pitt & Sir Anthony Hopkins). I think of all the “versions” of Somwhere Over the Rainbow, I truly loved Iz’s version the best. The album was released in 1990 featuring such songs like Over the Rainbow and What a Wonderful World. May his soul rest in peace.

But lately I find myself humming to the beat of the version in “50 First Dates” (Drew Barrymore). Search it, you’d love it.

I’ve seen a double rainbow just once and it’s awesome. I’ve always been fascinated by rainbows . . . when I was a little girl (ages and ages ago) I once walked solo through a couple of barrios in my hometown Malolos chasing a rainbow, hoping to get to the pot of gold (I had visions of dwarfs guarding it). For a homebound scaredy-cat who was allowed to go no farther than one grandma’s house to the other grandma’s house 2 blocks apart . . . that was one great adventure for me. Rainbows, for real and in pictures, never fail to make me smile and look back with fondness on that silly girl. Thanks, MM, for sharing your rainbows.
