Merry Christmas everyone!
The food 🙂
We waited for 12 midnight then we had our exchange gifts.
Xavier got the most number of gifts. ahahha
Family picture 🙂
It was a great and fun Christmas! I wish to have a happy Christmas every year. Christmas is always my favorite holiday medyo nagbago nga lang nong nawala si Ayumi but now unti unti ng bumabalik.
I wish everyone a great one too!
The girls had their beauty contest. I love it coz they really did their best. 
The boys had their dance contest. 
My boys also had their dance number.
We had our exchange gifts and raffles.
Everyone went home with something from us.
The winners of our beauty contest.
I spent my whole day putting up our Christmas decors.
It is our routine already that before Gareth’s birthday, the tree should be up already.
Before putting up all the decors, we washed the tree first then let it dry for the whole day.
I still used our decors from last year, I still have it keep and still in very good condition.
I think I will not be getting new ornaments this year.
so…
The Tree is now Up and waiting for the gifts..
The Santa Claus was kept from last year.
Here are some of the details…
It is our tradition to wait for midnight before we will open our gifts. So while waiting the kids had their videoke first and of course Xavier is the bida bidahan. Gusto niya sya ang maghahawak ng mic. 
The Gifts are waiting..
Then we had our dinner
Ang aming simpleng handa
Then we had so much fun…
The best reaction is when Xavier got his favorite toy “Mim Mim”. The reaction was priceless!
My nephew Clint got all his wishes!
My gift to hubby.
Then I got my gift from hubby!
The kids are busy… oh it’s time for me to relax a little bit while they are so happy with their new toys.
At the end of the day.. I am most thankful for having this chance to be with the people who matters most to me. I am thankful to celebrate this day with all the people who stays with me through thick and thin and that is my family. I am thankful for a good health and safety of everyone.
Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you had a blast!
Few hours from now we will be celebrating Christmas. We will be opening our gifts and I can see that the kids are so excited for this special moment. They are excited to open their gifts. Just like when I was a kid, I was always looking forward for opening my gifts.
When I was young, I was taught to be grateful for whatever we will receive on Christmas. Whether I like it or not, I should say Thank you and appreciate the effort of giving me the gifts. Until now, I still carry that attitude. There are times in my life that I got something what I don’t really like and needed but despite of it all I still say thank you. It is very important to have a grateful heart.
Early this year, I decided to take risk particularly in our business. I am just glad that I take my fears away and just go with it because somehow it made me believe that I can do it. There were some challenges along the way but I think it’s just normal for every business. I am thankful for all the experiences because it made me learn so many things. I learn how to be patient and just go with the flow. I learn how to handle my emotions and not let my emotions rule.
I am thankful for my families good health, safety and prosperity.
With that, I am thankful for everything and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
It’s starting to feel like Christmas. The weather is now getting cooler and I just love it. It is our tradition to start decorating our house after the Halloween. So I spent much of my time last week in getting the decors.
So… here it is…

This is a late post. Sobrang busy kasi, ngayon lang naupload ang pictures sa laptop.
Anyway, eto ang handa namin nong pasko. Most of it was cooked by hubby.
Picture taking before the gift giving.
They are ready to open their gifts.
Then we went to Tagaytay. 🙂
Of course our Family Picture! 🙂
This is our yearly activity with my high school friends. We had our beach Christmas Party.
I was not really sure if I can join them because I had some other parties to attend but I decided to cancel the other parties and just prioritize our get together because this is the only time of the year that we will be together since most of us are so busy with our different careers.
It was a sunny day.
The venue is at Marine Camp in Ternate Cavite. Â We arrived late kasi ang dami ko pang inasikaso bago umalis. Ang dami pang instructions para sa mga bata. Hindi ko kasi sila pwedeng isama kaya ang dami ko pang inuutos sa mga magbabantay sa kanila.
Eto ang naabutan ko nong dumating kami don. Nagstart na ang inuman at tong its.
  
Sobrang lamig kaso wala akong dalang jacket.
Then we had our exchange gifts. I got a Php500 cash. 🙂
Nico got my gift. 🙂
Hubby got also a cash. 🙂
Rodel got hubby’s gift. 🙂
We also had some games at ang nakakaloka talaga ay ang kwentuhan namin. Sobrang lamig na at ang lakas pa ng hangin but it never stopped us. Ang iingay namin. Nasa 10 lang kami pero parang 50 kaming magkasama. Sumakit tyan ko kakatawa. Ang dami naming kalokohan talaga. It is just nice to reminisced our High School Days. Â Ang sarap pa ng food namin, masarap magluto ang mga boys.
Sa sobrang tawa ko at sa lamig ng panahon, Â hanggang ngayon may kabag pa rin ako. Masakit pa rin ang tyan ko at dahil nga kubo lang ang accommodation na nakuha nila kasi fully booked na ang resort kaya hindi kami nakatulog ng maayos, ang ending kulang na kulang ang tulog ko kaya bumawi ako pag uwi pero parang kulang pa rin at malamang babawi ako ngayon ng tulog.
Sana gumaling na rin ang sakit ng tyan ko para naman makakain ako ng marami sa New Year! hahahaha
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
We had our noche buena grocery shopping at Shopwise Antipolo because we are an elite member. I am just glad that we are an elite member because we have fewer lines.
Shopwise is open for 24 hours. Grabe talaga… ang dami daming tao. Akala ko nga konti lang this year kasi ang daming mga bagong supermarkets sa Antipolo pero number 1 pa rin ang Shopwise.
So far mabilis naman ang service at nakauwi din kami ng maaga.
Every Christmas namin ginagamit ang points namin sa Shopwise and this year we accumulated 4,300 points so meaning for the whole year we spent Php430,000 sa groceries namin. I even asked hubby kung saan napunta yon and he pointed his big tummy. ahahaha
We are now ready and we will start cooking soon.
