Happy New Year to everyone!

2008 has come already! I hope this new year will bring new beginnings to everyone! It is another time to make those new year's resolutions! I just hope that people, even me, could keep them!
It just requires much self-control! Kaya ito!

**************

I have been very busy for the past few days. Lahat nalang ng gingagawa ko ay buhat lamang ng katamaran. I have wanted to make a year ender blog entry sana but then tinatamad ako kaya eto, walang update! Haha!

Gusto ko lang magpost ng anything before the 1st day of the year goes by para naman masabi kong may new year entry rin ako kahit papano! Haha!!

Again!

Happy New Year to everyone! Sana wala akong maging patient sa inyo dahil sa damages caused by fire crackers! Haha!

2007 had been a great year for me and my family! As in sobra sa dami ang blessings ang binigay sa amin this year! For that, we are very thankful to God for giving it to us! Dahil afterall, sa kanya naman nagsstart and nag-eend ang lahat ng bagay! Thanks po, talaga!

No one knows what this new year shall bring to us. My only wish is that maging safe and happy po ang family namin and all the people I love and care for.

With that, I'll be very very very happy and I'll feel so blessed already!

Thanks po ulit! You're the best!

I know it is not December 25 anymore but I believe it is still appropriate to greet people with this acknowledgement of the holiday season. And besides, according to the doctrine of the priest during the misa de gallo I attended with my family last night: Christmas does not end on the eve of December 25, rather it is the beginning of this festive season.

And so, yes, I repeat, Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

It is our family's first time to celebrate Christmas on our new home. There is nothing much to talk about though. It still felt the same thing as the past Christmas we had spent as a family.

Though I know it is cliche but the company of each other is enough for this Christmas to be worthwhile.

The amount of food that I ate did not change as well. It was still plenty. In fact, I was the last one to finish my meal during our family midnight gathering, or more commonly known as the Noche Buena.

I was so stuffed that I had to force myself to do something worthwhile and time consuming before retiring to bed because I was afraid I might have an encounter with the nightmare man or in scientific term, pancreatitis. Haha!

This morning, many of my cousins visited our house.

I was not surprised because it was a tradition in our clan that our house will be the home base for family reunion events which include Christmas day. It was an unwritten and unspoken rule that every Christmas day, my cousins would come and visit our home. It was a dogma of some sort in the family.

The bad thing though, my parents thought differently. They thought that since we have moved to a slightly remote place from where my cousins live, there would be a break in such tradition.

They were dead wrong! So many people came! As in!

They were caught off guard by this occurrence. But what can they do? Family is family. So they had to serve whatever they could to the people who came.

Good thing, we had two sets of pasta sauce to serve. We had the regular red tomato based spaghetti sauce and the to die for white carbonara sauce by my mom!

Thankfully, not one stomach felt hollow because the food was fairly sufficient for them. They even had cake for dessert. Good thing as well, someone gave my Mom a cake for Christmas! And another good thing, I was not voracious enough to have had consumed the cake! Haha!

San ka pa? Super impromptu Christmas party huh! Haha!
