Joyful Yuletide

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas eve:) I got a few photos that'll tell tell how we celebrated Christmas. Late afternoon on December 24, I attended the Christmas Eve service with my friend, Clarissa. I was so excited to hear Pastor Paolo's Christmas preaching since it's my first time to attend a Christian Christmas service. 'Though I've been attending Victory for over a year now, t'was only this year that I attended their Christmas Eve service. So there it was, the message was great and timely. It mainly centered on what's the true meaning of Christmas~the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. We bumped into an old friend, Andrea whom we seldom see since she resides in Baguio now. Lovely encounter w/ her. Reminisced grade school mem'ries and talked a bit 'bout random stuffs. I got home around 9pm, everybody's preparing the food already. At 10 pm, my mother, Auntie and cousins went to church to hear the mass, I was left with my elder brother who's playing really yucky old songs. Well I can bear it naman, sanay na ako sa kanya hehe. At exactly 12 midnight, we ate together our Noche Buena, nothing beats that moment. Sitting on the the table with your whole family together, I'm really blessed. And I also gave my gifts to my really cute "pamangkins"  and they liked it:) Seeing the smiles on their faces was really priceless. We also did our exhange gift thingy after eating, I got Kuya Den as my Monito and he wanted a pair of Jersey shorsts and I gave it to him. Ate Lea's the one who got my name and I wished for a new compact foundation and hankies and she gave granted my wish:) At the height of our celebration, my cousin Ate Lhy went into our house and said that she has to bring baby Josh(her cute baby) to the hospital 'coz he's been crying and she suspects that something serious is behind his endless crying. I accompanied Ate Lhy and rushed baby Josh to the hospital. We stayed there for almost 4 hours and went home around 5am. My brothers' awake and still drinking and the elders(mama, lola and lolo) were up already or maybe they didn't sleep at all. 'Though an unexpected thing happened, we still had a Merry Christmas! 

 With Andrea and Clarissa @ Victory

 Forget the diet, enjoy the feast

Happy Birthday, Jesus! You're the reason for this season 


"But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law, to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts,  the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father.""

I love Christmas:)

There's something about this Yuletide season that makes me feel giddy inside. Reunions, Christmas Party, re-connecting w/ old pals, shopping for presents, seeing the recipient's faces light up when they open the gift, and even receiving your own are some of the few things that make me oh-so blissful during the holidays.

Lovely things that are making me happy this season: 

 Class Party: 

Gifts I personally wrapped for friends and relatives:

Great fitting sweater from F21:

Fruits~ It's our family's tradition never to forget to buy lots of fruits during Christmas and New Year:) They're that healthy eaters:3 (apple and orange my top picks)

Hope everyone will have a MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! God bless us all!

Blogger's United Bazaar II

I knew I had to go here. No matter what. Despite my afternoon class... 
Didn't attend my Psych Testing class just to haggle clothes and mingle with the prettiest and most fab bloggers in town. The experience was oh-so-great. Rubbed elbows with Ms. Laureen Uy, Patricia Prieto, Kryz Uy, Ava, Bestie, and many more posh people in blogosphere.  It was amazing seeing everybody in the flesh. What made my experience extra special was my bonding with my uber-chic friends dec, mia and faye (their schoolmate which turned out to be one of my shopping buddy for the whole day) . I really can't explain the euphoric feeling I felt:))) I really blushed when I saw the persons/bloggers I really look up to. Imagine, i was able to chitchat and had photos with those gorgeous ladies, heavenly was my experience. Missing my class was all worth it, I swear! Brought home fab and cheap clothes, happy girl friend bonding time, endless shopping, photo ops, and of course the highlight of this day is seeing in persons my "inspirations"... what else could I ask for? this is indeed an early Christmas gift. A very memorable, extra-ordinay gift! So I'm looking forward to the next Blogger's United Bazaar:) Save up and dress to kill, Ladies:)
