Christmas '08

 

Another Christmas gathering in our family. It has been the same as it has been the previous years, relatives would go in our house where we would be celebrate and exchange gifts. Guess its only on Christmas that we could be together.

This year has been a little different though. We had other relatives who celebrated with us this time. Relatives whom I have never seen for years now (Auntie Erlie and her husband, Kuya Revie and his wife). And of course, this time we have Bill(mom's husband)to celebrate with us as well.

My sister, Lexie, sadly is still in Korea. I dont know how she celebrated Christmas there but I know that she misses the way Philippines celebrates this season.

Hope I had more things to say, but I think this is all for now since I had to leave during that time... work on Christmas day really sucks!!!

We Lost One Loved one Today....

I woke up at 3:30 this morning with a text from Bhe. After a few exhange of text messages, I had to get up and try to fix something for breakfast. I was surprised to see a cat trying to get into one of the windows at home. The cat was surprised to see as well and it tried a few futile attempts to get into the window. I went to open the door just to make it easier for the cat to get out. But the cat didnt want to do it the easier way, instead, it still reached for the window. Finally, it was out....

Just when I was on my way back to the kitchen, I saw Leeon... The hamster I bought just a few days before Christmas for my son. It was laying lifeless on the floor. I checked his bed, and I saw that the tissue paper was scattered all over the place. The cat must have tried to play with his breakfast before putting an end to Leeon's life. Poor thing. This was so mean...

I had to wake my son up to let him know. His first question was, "Where did the cat come from?". He is just so fond of closing the windows everytime he goes to bed since he is afraid of things getting into the house while we are sleeping. Must be some of those things he has watched on T.V. After I have answered his questions, I heard his voice crack while giving his childish comments on what had happened. I know he was about to cry...

I left the room to get Leeon's body and put it in a box. Just in case my son wants to bury him. When I got back, I heard my son's sobs. He was crying!!! I had to comfort him... I had to let him know that its ok... That I will buy him a new pair...

With this being said... he stopped crying.... and said he wants to get some sleep again... Whew! That's all that he wants... a new hamster... a new Leeon...


Goodbye Leeon... I hope we made your last days here on earth a memorable one. Don't worry I will try to catch that cat who did this to u... hmph...

Yron - Abi Wedding

After 3 years of being in the relationship, Yron Retuta and Abi Oropeza exchanged their vows last December 13, 2008 in St. Therese Parish Church in U.P. Los Baños. I was included in the briday entourage by accident since my friend Hazel, is having a very sensitive pregnancy and has been advised to be glued in bed. This, by the way, is my third time to be included in the entourage. My first was during one of my student's wedding, where I wore a pink dress; the second was also during the student's where I wore violet dress and I didnt make it to the church on time!!! Pictorial na nun dumating ako, ahehehe!!!



With me were TL James, his mom, Stephen and his kid Nicole, Zac and his girfriend Grace.









I sang "From this Moment" by Shania Twain. This is actually my song to my ex, Ryan Sancha - the father of my kid. I almost got carried away by the song and the thought that, another man fulfilled the promise that every woman desires. I envy Abi. She is indeed very lucky to have Yron as her husband. Very faithful and responsible. How I wish the next time that I will be visiting the church, I would no longer be one of the "abay" but hopefully I will be the one walking in the red carpet.








To Yron and Abi, may you always find the love and happiness in your hearts. Congratulations!

Team Building 3

My team had a final blast for this year. Not to count the upcoming Christmas Party this coming December 23, 2008. We had swimming party again, just like the second team building that we had. But this was different, since I didnt sleep the entire night... and I enjoyed the pool. And then of course, I was with my loved one - Norman.

It was held in C3Y Resort, in Los Baños Laguna last November 28. We all met at the office. We had to rent Norman's van and take TL's car for everyone. We arrived there at 7pm. Upon arriving, everyone had something to do. I remember grabbing the microphone and sang my heart out while everyone was busy preparing dinner. Ahehhe... This was so selfish of me. When I realized that everyone was doing their share, I volunteered to cook Adobo.

We had fun with the games. Not to mention that I have grabbed all, and I mean all the prizes for our binggo. Thats's what you call, beginner's luck!! I hope they wouldn't be killing me for this.

Here are some of the pics by the way. Feel free to comment!
