Christmas Celebration

December has been my busiest month so I only had a few post. Probably because of the "Simbang Gabi," christmas preparation,  and my christmas bazaar which I had posted the last time. I will share the highlights of what I had been up to during this season.

I attended 2 more christmas parties; Last December 5 with the whole LCM main parish which was held in the house of our fellow Member. We had games, exchange gifts and eat lots of foods. Too bad I lost the pictures for the LCM party. The other was last December 22 with my longtime "barkada", a lunch out in one of the american restaurant in Trinoma. We ordered so many that we hadn't eaten it all. We had to take out our left-overs. We also had our exchange gifts. Since we were only 4, we strolled the mall afterwards. I also don't have a picture of it because it has not been posted by the one who has the camera.

During Christmas eve, we had tacos, barbecue and wine. My Sister and I were the one who were able to wait until the midnight. My Uncle and niece fell asleep early. lol. When the Christmas day arrived, we prepared lunch and invited our cousins. My Sister cooked Pasta in oil and hungarian sausage, sauted vegetables and roasted chicken. I took picture of it:

During that day, we have been invited to a dinner with the godmother of our cousin. We brought pasta and roasted chicken over to add to our menu.

Last December 27, we attended the marvelous wedding of my Sister's friend. My Niece was one of the flower girl so I was able to join them. The wedding took place at the Manila Cathedral then the reception was in Manila Peninsula. This are a few of the pictures I have taken during the said event:

 

 

These are the few of our pics. I took a video of the entourage and the wedding vows but I decided not to post it here.

The next day, December 28, me, my two cousins and my niece went to our Uncle in Pasig to celebrate my late Grandfather's birthday and at the same time have a family reunion. Afterwards, we went to The Fort in high street for a quick window shopping.

That's pretty much all the highlights I have done. I should have posted them separately but when because of too much stress I wasn't able to do so. I had to post this all before the year ends. Later we will say goodbye to 2010 and say hello to a new year full of hope and prosperity.

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas as much as I did. Advance Happy New Year to all! Cheers! Till my next post! See yah!

Christmas is in the air

Tomorrow will be December 1 and during this time of the year we will soon be celebrating Christmas day. Here in the Philippines, Christmas starts during the ber month but not all of us don't decorate that too early.

Yesterday, my churchmates and I celebrated our Christmas party. Why is it so early? Because we will all be busy in the following days especially during the "Simbang Gabi." We were supposed to be celebrating our party in Tagaytay but our van went crazy and started to have problems last Sunday. So we had to cancel the travel.

So we celebrated it in the house of our fellow member. We were assigned with different foods and drinks. We had a great lunch!

All were happy and chitchatting. We also had our exchange gifts.

During our snack we had ice cream

 Then we went to another house of one of our member. We went there to have a videoke. We had a great time too, we sang, danced and had red wine :))

I think it was a blessing that we did not went to Tagaytay after all. My cousin said that the rainfall was hard during that day. We will not have much fun as we did here so it is good. But we will visit and plan again our trip to Tagaytay.

Next week, we will have another Christmas party but with a bigger group. This time all other areas in our main church will be there. I will post it here soon. Till my next post! See yah!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's 60th birthday! Gosh he is now a senior lol. I really hope that God would continue to bless and protect him from harm. I wish that he is here with us now to celebrate his special day. I emailed him already to greet him because he is working abroad. He called last week to check up on us, he said he would probably have a work during his birthday. We bought "pansit palabok","puto" and a cake for his birthday.

He is a very kind Father to us. Eventhough he is not here most of the time he makes sure that during his vacation here he spends a lot of quality time with us. He loves to cook different dishes for us. He loves to buy electronic gadgets and different things around the house. He is a movie fanatic (but sometimes he sleeps during a movie haha) he already watched tons of movies in different genre. He loves to read and research about something in the net. He loves watching national geographic and discovery channel. He walks so fast, so if you are walking with him, you will be left behind (LOL).

Happy Birthday Daddy! I wish you good health and happiness in your life. Please remember that we are here when you need us. Even if you are far away with us, we truly love you. I'm just a phone call / email away :) I love you! Thank you for being a great DAD!

Till my next post! See yah!
