Pictures 198

Easily my most favorite spot in the Shrine. I have to take more photos later when we have our Noche Buena. My mom bought real poinsettia plants — they look so nice! Amadeo is hot during the day but once afternoon sets in, the wind is really something else. It is deceptive as you think you can handle it later on your nose will be dripping already (hamog). We are hearing mass in Lourdes Church in Tagaytay. And we were crazy enough to brave the crowds in SM Dasmarinas earlier — last minute shopping. My sisters wanted to push through with the blue and white theme — I found some nice navy dress shirt and cute leggings for Martha.

All in all, the stay here has been awfully nice. Conversation and laughter with the parents are always memorable and just downright touching. I have a lot of memories this Christmas. Best ever yet.

My blog will be on a Christmas hiatus starting tomorrow! Enjoy the holidays! If you want to keep up with whatever I am busy with,my Flickr will most probably tell you (Im going to use that to keep track of scrappable pictures while we are away).

Dont forget to celebrate the REASON for the SEASON!

We didnt go anywhere today, we didnt dare to. Traffic is so bad these days. Good thing Matthew wanted to be at home lang. He just wanted Jollibee chicken, spaghetti, pizza and for me daw, cake. (He said, “Alam ko naman gusto mo ng cake kasi kelangan picturean pero Mommy ayaw ko kainin yan ha!” LOL. The boys really dont like cakes. The girls – me and Martha – ate it. Si Martha ang parang me birthday! Hahaha!)

Matthew’s 7th Birthday.
Four Days Before Christmas.

I cleaned the house as much as I can and the husband miraculously wrapped the gifts (Im tamad). Now, wala na talaga akong gagawin ever. Im kicking back to enjoy and indulge in the season.

12.20 It was such a good day

I have been having a blast reconnecting to what I loved first – writing by hand. I have discovered that words flow naturally, and that they are more real. I wish I can have my handwriting back the way it used to look though.

12.20 My favorite day of the year (Out of the Ordinary no events type of days!)

There is a free local phone chat line service hugely popular in Texas, particularly in San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. It works like this – you get to call in for free for a live phone or chat with other people. You have the option to even leave Voice Personals. You just record your message and then you can hear other people’s voice personals and from there, you can leave them a message too. You dont have to put your phone numbers so everything will be confidential. The next time you login, you can now hear other people’s messages for you, if there are any! So if you are in the are, you can have some Dallas Chat personals or
Houston Chat voice mails!

December 20 has always been my favorite day ever since.

Today is my favorite day because this is usually I feel Christmassy the most.

This was the date most of our Xmas parties were held.

This was the date where most Xmas vacations start with.

This was the date when I first learned Edil had a crush on me too (1995).

This was the date we decided we will get married the year after (2004).

This was the date I wanted to give birth to Matthew (2000).
So I walked around SM Centerpoint FOUR TIMES. I came home defeated. At 1AM I woke up with contractions na LOL.

This was the date I was last just “Aggie”. This was the last day when I was just “me”.

And today, we learn some very nice developments about Matthew’s ear condition. His eardrum isnt punctured yet, and medicines can still control it. Thank God.

And tomorrow, my baby turns 7.
