It's Noche Buena tonight!















Happy Christmas everyone!

We had a lot of left-overs last night that we don't have to worry about Noche Buena. For the past few days, we went busy shopping, holiday rush. We bought gits for the inaanaks and for the pamangkins as well.

Happy Birthday Daddy!


It's my Dad's golden birthday today and we are going to celebrate!

It's been a week's preparation. Everything was gradually set. My dad 45 days ago bought 20 chicks, now chickens. They roasted 8 out of it and 5 was made sarciado. Filipino food was served of course like lechon kawali, puto, pansit. Spaghetti is our family's favorite party food. I made fresh salad and my mom made buko salad.



My sister and I ordered 6 yellow balloons yesterday. I also ordered cake to complete the set-up. I requested my boyfriend to set a playlist in the ipod birthday songs.

He didn't receive lots of gift bu he is so happy that all our invited guests came over. My dad is really happy especially when all his pamangkins sang the birthday song and went on blewing the candle several times.




I will be printing the pictures today. Have it album. I will include in the album one of the personalized greeting tag from my honey. It is so nice. Unfortunately, I was not able to take a picture of the gift box he gave. Anyway, I'm so happy too that I, we made my Dad happy this day!

toast to a friendship

We celebrated our Christmas Party today. The tropang abogado has really gone a long way.

I started my day by scolding my honey of not waking up early because of returning home dawn yesterday. I demanded his companionship today. We bought gifts for the celebration. I bought my monito a jacket. My honey bought the same but with a different color. I also bought gifts for my other friends. We had lunch with the runner-up beauty queen of the group.Then we had snacks at Shakey's Restaurant. For the first time, we had express messages to ecah other and to the whole group. We became emotional when the beauty queen started to get serious about saying how she appreciates so much the friendship between the group and I was really touched on how people really valued a lasting friendship without any reservation. We have  compared our group with the others and what makes us solid is that each of us is showing our true colors. We say what we feel to each other by approaching the person and we do not let our misunderstanding pass by.

I was really happy this day. This is a day to remember, to cherish. This day is a good memory. Toast to a friendship!

District Christmas Party

It's our Christmas party today. Everything was set except for we did not expect work to rush in during the day. Haist...my boss is present, that is why. We were not able to held our Christmas raffle due to the presence of other people not part of the District Congressional Staff and Farm Staff. It's really a party but it does not turn out to be "our" party. It was their party. I expect that tomorrow is another celebration.

few days before vacation

Everything was in a rush. Christmas parties are all around the town. Exchange gifts, monito-monita, raffle draws. Dyas have 4 babies. My sister named them agag, baba, yaya and nini

Nini is the family's favorite.
 


I can't drink because of a deal. huh... My honey is very strict when it comes to my vice which is drinking. We kept on arguing on the same matter yet still we stay close with each other. I received my gifts from my boss and his wife and from the kids too. I got new pair of shoes and bags. When Christmas is really fast approaching everybody is withdrawing from their banks. I got "crunchy" orange and pink mony bills ready for christmas envelopes expecting my goddaughters and godson's arrival on the 24th. As of now, we are busy preparing for tomorrow's event -- our District Christmas Party!

been busy, as usual...

I can't stay in front of the pc. I've been so very much busy taking charge of the scholarship programs I am handling as a youth consultant in the office. Luckily, I was able to travel with my boyfriend on the ride. I have a hectic schedule that sometimes, mixing business with pleasure is inevitable. Basically, that's what happen during the past week the readers did not hear a word from me. 

My brother just celebrated his 19th birthday days ago and in the next few days my dad would be having his golden birthday celebration. Too bad, Philippines and a lot of its people are suffering from bad economy and that includes me. Being the first among 3 siblings, I have so many responsibilities and obligations to be fulfilled that sometimes I tend to forget to reserve something for myself. The Christmas Bonus i received is not enough to get what I want for Christmas. Nonetheless, being happy and fulfilled is what matters during the holidays. As a matter of fact, just give me a fabulous break/vacation and I will be the happiest person on earth. That is how i crave for a vacation--not just a leave!

Just this morning, Jas (the name of our family dog) will have her puppies born. Everyone in the family is just so excited to see her babies. We all waited for today. If I could not make it tomorrow to have the story about Jas published, I still will in the next few days, when I am not busy. As of now, I have to get back to work. The boss is calling and the people are yearning for service. Duh!

Happy Birthday Bro!

It's my brother's birthday today but we will going to celebrate his birthday together with dad.I am in dilemma of buying gifts. First budget should be tight, practical and if I will buy gifts for my love one, it should really be useful.

        




I was thinking of buying my boyfriend as well as my sister Appeton milk. I saw these commercials, first in TV then I search for some more in the internet. My boyfriend is skinny and the drawing on the tin is what I want to happen to him. I wonder is this is really effective. I searched through the net but questions relevant on gaining weight in relation to appeton is not satisfactorily answered. I might still buy the milk, anyway. No harm in trying, errr?...

A glimpse of the past days I'm silent here

It's been a week, I guess since the last time, I got to talk and share a glimpse of what happened to me. The past days is a storm--rushing papers and documents back at the office, I am "terrorized" by my teacher in Credit Transactions by bombarding questions that may be simple to answer yet I still stutter answering. My boss is present from Friday to Sunday which means I did not have a weekend vacation and watched Pacman's fight with Dela Hoya with the colleagues. My boyfriend and I broke up but we manage to preserve the relationship. After all it was always a petty fight against one bottle of SMB. Sometimes, you really have to thank God for bad incidents happening around you because we patch up things when a fire incident happened after the Victory Liner in Lingayen and on the same place. My boyfriend’s family own a space near the place and was almost get caught by fire too. Then, the news said that Marky Cielo was already dead! My gosh! It’s as if everything or everyone is like in a whirlwind. But at the end of everyday, you get to thank the Lord God for giving you strength to face another day and move ahead. On the 20th, my friend will give us a treat for losing the bet on the Pacquiao vs. Dela Hoya. Victory again for the Filipinos! Yahoo!

Smiling Moon

I received a message from my classmate. He told me to gaze at the beautiful smiling moon in the clear sky. I ignored the message. While watching the primetime news, it was telecast that the moon is indeed smiling. This is an amateur video below from youtube showing the Smiling Moon. Visual Astronomy by Sean Welton says something about the phenomenon.
