3 Parties in a Row

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 03:09:10 +0000

Finally, I got the chance to go online and update this blog The past week was all about doing some rush on so many things- preparations on the kids Christmas program, going over costumes, buying of gifts, review sessions for their exams, etc. DH and I getting sick a week prior to that added pressure on those things. But we’re so glad that we were able to deliver on all of them.

Last Friday, DH was the one who took over in taking care of the kids on attending their Christmas party. Taking a leave from work is not just possible for me. Kids were at their happiest as they get to bring home lots of goodies from the party.

Here are some of the snapshots of the kids before attending and during the 18th birthday celebration of DH’s niece that we attended at The City Garden Hotel in Makati Ave.

Christmas Party

Sun, 30 Oct 2011 06:57:58 +0000

I did not joined DH and the kids last night as they watch horror TV programs. I think I am getting more of a scary cat now that I am old. Ahaha! I slept early ahead of them! Now that Halloween is almost (tomorrow actually) over. We are so looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Kids got a lot of Christmas Party Invitations as early as last month. I, on the other hand, is busy preparing the gift lists for everyone (friends, kid’s teachers and classmates, relatives, god children). I hope that I can order some DIY gifts over at Artscow and avail some of the free credits in my account. So our jolly holiday mode is ON!

What Stresses Me About the Holidays

Having Too Much To Do Is What Stresses You Out About the Holidays

You love the holidays. You love them so much that you end up taking on too many responsibilities.

Your heart is in the right place, but you don’t have the time to get it all done.

Consider doing a little less. Don’t bake that last batch of cookies or go for that Christmas Eve shopping run.

You’ll still be giving the people you love what they want most… time with you!

Merry Christmas

Last night was our company’s Christmas party, nobody left empty handed as everyone got a nice raffle items from they party. the food was great and there were games and sing along to brighten and cheer up everyone. What made us more excited about is the moment when we got our 13th mo. pay, yes it was only given that time by the boss to make sure that we will attend the party. Ahahaha.. Anyway, we will be doing the shopping us later today after I finish my pending tasks on both online and offline.

Christmas Reminder

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:32:00 +0000

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as the most significant event in all history, because it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the healing medicine of love which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years… Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.

Giddy for the Holiday Season

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:03:00 +0000

I am now officially on my *holiday mode* lol. With the many activities for the coming holiday, Christmas parties to attend here and there , Gabby’s school program, family gatherings, reunions with classmates and friends, there is really no way for me to make an excuse of being excited. I’m just too glad that we have enough budget to cover up for those expenses, my sleepless nights of updating and writing off some posts have paid off. Patience and hard work really takes you everywhere you want to go, there are just times that you will feel down but what matter is the way you face the challenges and move on with a positive attitude. How about you, what are you up to this Holiday season?
