A New Year's Wish



The year is almost up.  And were about to begin the Year of the Faith (for Catholics) and Year of the Water Snake (for Chinese).  But my only wish and pray for this coming year 2013 are for my family to remain strong and bonded together.  Whatever challenges and pressures in our lives, we will always be there for each other just like we were before.  For my family to stay healthy and keeping the faith and thinking the positive side of life and that may all hardships will bring us closer to one another instead of keeping us apart. 



I have met the coolest people this year courtesy of the 3 coolest ex-housemates in PBB house.  I will always all the fun and laughers and challenges we had and making our group the coolest group in town.  I still have some communications with my friends in high school and even college and my other groups from the previous season of PBB.  I will be forever grateful for the trust and happiness they have given me.  I still have a strong team at work and though was facing another challenges company wide, I hope our team/project will remain intact and strong for more years.



I can only wish that our Good Lord bless my family that He may guide us to the right path and to withstand all the challenges we encounter.  I feel so blessed having my hubby, my baby Nate, my hubby’s family and relatives and my family around.  I hope for the best this year.  And I wish you all, my dear readers, my blogger friends, my friends who stay with me all these years.   



I wish you all a happy New Year and may God bless us all!

A Merry Date


Despite the numerous cancellations of venue reservations, moved dates, change of plans and stressful preparations, we were able to have a free time for everyone.  Though we have to endure all the hardships of peak hours and traffic, we celebrated our much awaited and mostly anticipated Christmas party with Joj, Jai and Alec.  And it’s all worth it. When I saw Alec entered the room, I had a moment that the room started to light up.  He greeted us with a smile and a big bear hug and the sweetest kiss ever.  We never wasted any single moment and we take pictures and pose for pictures with him.  When the twins came, they brighten the room even more.  







We sing, we played games, we eat our hearts out, we talked about some news about them, and we teased our favourite teen love team.  And we continue talking amidst of all the giggling and screaming fans of them in the busy Mall of Asia; we were able to share some stories though our Starbucks coffee.  When Alec left our group and the twins strolled around and did some shopping I knew our time is over and we to call it a day.  It’s almost midnight but my thoughts are with them and it made me smile.  They are the best PBB housemates I ever supported; I will never regret any single moment I spend with them.  And wish I can see them again, very soon.

New Look


Every last month of the year, my family always wanted to have something new to our family house to start a new year with what they called good vibes.  But the truth is it is my sister who wanted to change her furniture and fixtures and have a new look in her living room.  She even wanted to change her son’s bed to make it spacious.  My nephew’s things and toys are increasing every year, he needed a lot of space to make it comfortable for him.
 

My father is requesting to have a leather recliner chairs since he’s been using his recliner for so many years now.  My brother is kind enough to offer to buy it for our brother and his early Christmas gift.  My cousin offered her wholesale furniture brokers coupons to we can have big savings if we wanted to buy more for our house.  It’s very convenient for us since we all love to have new furniture and the fact that my brother will shouldered some of the expenses.

 
Above all these, I’m quite happy with my siblings team work to make it happen.  After all, we can all do this if we just work hand in hand.

Goodies

 
 
My sister meets with our family friend yesterday in a place near our office.  And then she called me minutes before I logged out from my computer that she has a surprise for me.  I became excited hearing this news because I badly needed some good news in my life right now. Ha-ha! And then when I saw her standing right in front of Shop Wise supermarket, I saw this huge basket of goodies and I asked her if that is mine.  But she told me the basket is for our Mom and I fake a sad face and told her I thought she said the good news is for me.  She smiled and replied that I can ask Mom to give some of the goodies in the basket and I laughed by giving me an idea before my other sister can sweet talk Mom to give some of the items.
 
 
 
The basket of goodies looks yummy but I only get one Dak chopped ham and the red wine.  My Mom is lucky this month and she’s sharing her blessings with us.  An early Christmas treat.

12.12.12


This is the day when most of the couple rushed to get married in church or civil wise.  Or a pregnant woman due this December wanted to have her child on this day.  I sometimes don’t get the idea of the date hype but maybe they wanted to have the rare date written on their contracts.   And frankly speaking, it sounds good too. 


It may not be a big deal for me but I wish for a different December this year.  I wish to look for a better apartment to live with and eventually, have our own house next year.  I wish for my family’s health especially to my hubby who has a troubling knee injury.  I wish for my sister and my Mom’s food business to prosper.  I wish for my brother’s clean slate beginnings next year and his twins to be at good health always.  I wish for my nephew’s well-being and hope that he’s having a good life.  I wish for my baby Nate’s good health and he grew up happy and may all he have all the love in the world. 


I have a long list this year.  I can only wish it all come true.  So help me God.

Yuletide Gifts


Its Yuletide season again and the words of 13th month pay and bonuses sounds good to hear everywhere you go. Malls on sale and big discounts are waving right in front of your face.  My family just finished decorating the whole house and the Christmas tree is proudly standing in the corner of our living room, it feels so great knowing we will be celebrating holiday’s altogether.   My sister and I are planning for the menu to cook but we still have to prepare for her birthday on the 16th of December.  She doesn’t want to celebrate it but we said you will have to spend it once a year so why should she worry on the expenses.


But one thing I am thinking of is what to give hubby this year.  I have a hard time looking for one thing he will like best and my best friend suddenly became my saving angel when she suggested giving my hubby retro glasses as she did to her husband the other year.  I immediately checked on my hubby’s glasses and I knew I have to give him a new one this year.  I can  focus on other plans now that I already put another check mark on my to-do lists.
