"I think kung nakita nilang miserable ako dun sa bakasyon at nag-iiyak ako do'n, do'n nila mapi-feel na there's something wrong. Pero kung nakita naman nila na magaan ang pakiramdam ko, nung nanay nila, masaya kami, hindi sila magtatanong. Di ba? Yung parang wala silang hinanap," says Kris Aquino about her U.S. trip with sons Josh and Baby James, without husband James Yap.

Dumating kahapon ng madaling-araw, July 30, ang TV host-actress na si Kris Aquino mula sa tatlong linggong pagbabakasyon sa U.S. kasama ng mga anak niyang sina Josh at Baby James.
Kasabay ng kanyang pagbabalik ay ang pagsalubong ng mga intrigang iniwan niya at umusbong habang wala siya sa bansa. Kaya naman paglapag ng eroplanong sinasakyan ay isang exclusive interview agad ang ibinigay sa kaibigan at manager na si Boy Abunda sa airport pa lang.
Ipinalabas ang unang bahagi ng panayam ni Boy kay Kris kagabi rin sa late-night showbiz talk show ng ABS-CBN na SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon. Ang ikalawang bahagi, kung saan sinagot ni Kris ang tungkol sa hiwalayan nila ng asawang si James Yap, ay ipalalabas sa The Buzz sa Linggo, August 1. Ang dalawang showbiz talk shows na nabanggit ay dating mga programa ni Kris kasama si Boy, na matalik at matagal na niyang kaibigan.
Matatandaang pinili niyang iwanan ang mga ito matapos manalo sa nakaraang elekisyon ang kapatid niyang si President Noynoy Aquino, upang wag na raw dumami pa ang ipasasagot na isyu sa presidente. Kilala kasi si Kris bilang media magnet. Ang anumang sabihin nito ay nagkakarun ng media coverage, liban pa sa talagang media savvy ang actress at host.
U.S. VACATION. Unang kinumusta ni Boy ang pagbababakasyon nila.
"It's nice to be back!" masayang bungad ng TV host-actress. "It was really a good vacation for the three of us. I mean, ako, si Josh, si Baby James, kasi yun yung time namin talaga na nabawi ko sa kanila lahat ng panahon na nawala sa kanila because of the campaign [last election].
"It was good to be semi-anonymous," nangingiting patuloy ni Kris. "Marami ring Pinoy na nagtatrabaho sa Disney, pero they were really so nice. So, yung cruise namin masaya. Yung Disneyworld, I became fit kasi naka-on yung pedometer dun sa iPhone ko. So, in a day, nakaka-six to seven miles kami kasi lakad ka nang lakad. Ako, makikita n'yo lahat ng pictures, ako yung taga-push ng stroller ni Bimby [palayaw ni Baby James].
"'Tapos, first time niya ma-experience mag-rollercoaster. Si Bimby, I'm so proud kasi may height requirement, 40 inches. Forty-two inches na siya! Normally, that 40 inches para for you to be about five years old, so matangkad talaga anak ko, nakasakay ng lahat ng rollercoaster!" Tatlong taon na si Baby James.
Bukod sa mga nabanggit ni Kris, ang isang bagay pa raw na nagawa niya noong nasa U.S. sila ay ang paglalaba.
Kuwento niya, "Oo, pinaglaba ko sila nung nasa Disney cruise kami... Kasi yung mga nag-aayos ng kuwarto, they were outside kasi. Bawat floor, parang may laundry room. 'Tapos yung mga Pinoy, sinabi talaga, 'Ma'am, kayo po naglalaba?' Sabi ko, 'Oo, kasi nagsu-swimming yung mga yaya!'"
Ayon pa kay Kris, walang signal ang telepono niya during the entire cruise kaya nawalan siya ng contact sa mga malalapit na tao sa kanya dito sa Pilipinas.
"So, for five nights, we were really taken away from the world," sabi niya.
Pagkatapos nito ay ikinuwento na niya ang iba pa nilang ginawa sa bakasyon nila.
"So, every night, nakanood kami ng mga Disney presentations na Broadway quality. Nakapunta kami sa Bahamas, na feeling ko naman, dyusko, di hamak mas maganda ang Boracay... Oo, I swear! Yung Castaway Cay nila, na island ng Disney [sa Bahamas], yun ang maganda. Pero kung tatanungin n'yo ako, kulang lang tayo sa pag-push, pero kayang-kaya natin 'yon.
"But Florida was a wonderful experience kasi I could be a child again through their eyes. Hindi mo iindahin yung init, yung pagod, yung pila, kasi ang saya! Talagang in heaven yung dalawa ko."
HOMECOMING. Naging espesyal din daw para kay Kris ang pagbisita nila sa Boston, Massachusetts, kung saan nanirahan ang pamilya Aquino sa loob ng tatlong taon. Ito yung panahong kasama pa nina Kris at ng kanyang apat na kapatid ang mga magulang nilang sina former President Cory Aquino at former Senator Ninoy Aquino.
"Sabi ko nga, I was telling my sisters na... nagte-text ako na, 'I never realized it was this beautiful, na ang suwerte natin na we had those three years to be with our mom and dad na kumpleto tayo, na ganun kaganda yung lugar.'
"Tapos dumalaw kami dun sa dati kong school, do'n sa church kung saan kami nagsisimba. Dumaan kami doon sa bahay namin, nag-picture taking and all... Pumunta kami sa favorite na restaurant ni P-Noy [President Noynoy Aquino], kinunan namin ng pictures lahat ng pizza na kinain namin. 'Tapos sinabi ko sa kanya [P-Noy], 'O, ikinain ka na lang namin.'"
Tinanong ni Boy si Kris kung ano ang halaga ng tatlong taong nanirahan sila sa Boston. Pero imbes na sagutin kung ano ang kahalagahan ng paninirahan nila noon, sinabi ni Kris ang kahalagahan ng pagbabalik niya roon.
"Ang halaga na lang ng pagdalaw ngayon, hindi ako malungkot," sabi niya. "Kasi, alam ko, come Sunday [August 1], it will be very emotional for all of us. Tinatanong ni Pinky [Kris's sister], 'Naluha ka?' Sabi ko, 'No.' Kasi na-feel ko we were so blessed na nabigyan kami ng pagkakataon na magkaroon ng normal na buhay. Kaya kung may halaga ang pagdalaw namin doon, it made me so grateful for my childhood."
