  • …umpisa na naman ng isang bagong linggo at ang daming lilinisin, wawalisin at liligpitin dito sa mention ko.
  • …13 more days to go, Pasko na! Napadaan ako sa mall kahapon at napansin ko na ang mga pipol na katatanggap lang siguro ng BONUS nila at nakagawa siguro ng list nila para maka-buy ng gifts ay parang nagpapanic-buying talaga. Kaka-inggit! As usual, si Mamaru nagpapanic lang, walang buying. :(
  • …ni hindi ko alam ano ang ino-Noche Buena ng buena familia ketch. Makakapag-roast kaya kami ng isang buong COW sa Pasko? Charot!
  • …pwede kaya magbigay ng PROMISSORY NOTE na lang muna sa mga inaanak ko?
  • …at JOY and CONTENTMENT na lang din muna kaya ang ibigay kong legaro sa mga kaibigan at kamag-anak? OK lang kaya sa kanila?
  • …mas excited ako sa pagdating ng NEW YEAR. Gusto ko ng panibagong panimula para sa lahat-lahat na.
  • …Happy Monday everyone!

 

oOo

"PAPEL ka ba ? Kasi SHEET ka!"

I looked forward to it, not just because of the gifts, but also because of all those family get together.

Even in our office where I used to work before, everybody looked forward to our exchanging of gifts – of course for the laughs more than anything else. Above all, we looked forward to the best office christmas gifts that our boss usually hands us. Hehehe! I don’t know, but Christmas, it always holds a certain magic that never fails to bring each one of us waves of joy. Merry Christmas!

There will be round of parties for sure. Well, to those weight and body conscious, need for appetite suppressant? Because Christmas, it is the time of the year where most people usually gain weight.

Went out yesterday with my daughter to have our weekly food marketing and since it is weekend; the mall is packed with people. I guess yearly bonus and 13th month-pay of those who are employed is finally out and released. I can see many shoppers doing their early shopping of holiday gifts for their loved ones and some are into buying of Christmas decorations. Truly, Christmas is in the air!

However, when it comes to dealing with the temptations of the season’s high-calorie food preparation, it is just hard to say no. And this the time where you can easily gain weight from seven to ten pounds.  Actually, you just need to have a plan, an EAT-RIGHT strategy and of course do not forget to take your usual diet supplement.

Whatever it is, if you are playing a host, better start planning now on what Christmas dinner recipes to prepare and carefully select the dishes that your holiday guest will surely love.

Sabi ko nga, sa loob ng 16 years ng pagiging solong-nanay…ngayon lang ako nakatanggap ng naiibang imbistasyon dahil hindi lang yun para akin kundi kasama na pati mga anak ko. Malamang pag hindi ka nanay at nabasa mo ‘to…siguro mapapa ismid ka, tataas ang kilay at malamang sasabihin mo sa sarili mo na “ano naman kaya ang “big deal” dyan sa imbistasyon na yan? Sus, para yan lang eh dapat pa bang i-blog?” Well, sana nga ay walang magtanong ng ganito sa akin dahil baka masampal ko lang ng lep en rayt. Bwahaha! Ang Taroosh!

Hmp! Tama na nga at hanggang dito na lang muna. Basta masaya at memorable sa amin ang pasko namin mag-iina noong Tuesday. Mababaw na kung mababaw, bakit ba! Eh sa happy kami. Eh kayo ba masaya? Bleeh!

 

Mood: Grateful :lol:

 

After Christmas – 11
Well, the event happened … we gave, received, enjoyed, celebrated, worshipped … now what? Can we keep it going?

Netong mga huli, kadalasan si Keziah na lang ang lagi ko nakakasama sa biyahe at laging nagpapaiwan sa bahay yung bagets kong lalaki. Hindi ko naman mapilit noon kasi nga nagbibinata na at ayaw na sumama o bubuntot-buntot sa nanay. Teenager na kaya mas gusto pa nya ang maiwan sa bahay at magpaka-adik sa online games. Hinahayaan ko na lang kasi gusto rin nya yung nagiging independent sya paminsan-minsan.

Ngayon, kumpleto kaming bumiyahe para makilanghap sa polluted na hangin ng Manila. Makikikain ng noche buena sa bahay ng bunso kong kapatid. Makikipasko.

Napaaga ang dating namin sa airport ng Cagayan De Oro noong isang araw kaya ang tagal namin na nakatambay sa pre-departure area, siguro mga 2-3 hours din kaming naghintay ng flight namin bound for Manila. Parang nakakapanibago sa akin ang biyahe namin na ‘to kasi malalaki na ang mga kasama kong mga anak na dati-rati eh akay akay ko o karga-karga ko tuwing may biyahe kami. Ngayon parang ako na ang pwede nilang kargahin. Lol.

Parang kailan lang sa magkabilaan na hita ko sila nakaunan, tulog habang nasa biyahe. Ngayon, ibang iba na and as ive said, nakakapanibago. Parang mas enjoy ngayon kasi nakaka-kwentuhan ko na sila ng seryoso. Nagkakabiruan na kami. Parang mga barkada ko nga lang ang mga kasama ko. Tawanan. Kilitian. Halakhakan. Asaran.

Hindi naman nila pers taym na bumiyahe ng eroplano pero mas napansin ko ngayon na mas observant sila sa mga nangyayari sa paligid. Parang gusto nila tandaan ang mga ginagawa namin habang bumibiyahe. Kanya-kanya kaming bitbit ng mga bagahe namin. Sadyang marami talaga ang naituturo ang pagbibiyahe. Isa ‘to sa mga leksyon sa buhay na hindi naituturo sa loob ng school classroom – ang exprerience.

Next year, college na si Kevin. Umpisa na ng pagbubukod nya sa amin. Mga apat na taon pa siguro mula ngayon, si Keziah ko naman ang magko-kolehiyo. Waaaaahhh! At maiiwan na ako mag isa. Huhuhu!

Habang papalapit ang bertdey ni beybi jesus parang nalulungkot lang ako. Nadagdagan pa ng mga napupuntahan kong mga blog kung saan ang mga topic ng entries eh mga krismas party nila, mga xmas wishes nila, mga pinagkagastahan sa mga bonus nila at kung mga anong food ang ihahanda nila sa noche buena etc. etc. etc. Leche! Sige mag-inggit pa kayooooooo! Lol.

Tapos mapapanood mo pa sa news sa tv kesyo matrapik ang mga daan papunta sa malalaking malls, tiangge at kung gaano ka-enjoy(?) ang mga pipol sa mga panic buying nila. Ano vahhhh!

Nakaka-depress tuloy. Sensya na, tao lang po…parang nakaka-inggit kasi feel na feel nila ang xmas rush. Dati eto ang pinakapaborito kong holiday ng taon. Pero ngayon para bang kung pwede lang, kansel na kaya muna ang Pasko!

Apat na taon mahigit na ang huli kong attend ng xmas party…sa company party pa ng dati kong bf. Sarap din ng may fafa, kahit papano naaakay ako dati sa mga kasayahan at may nag-aabot ng datung o GCs (gift certificates) para pang shopping. O di ba, da best yun! Siempre, higit sa lahat masarap ang may jowa pag pasko kasi alam mo na hindi ka betlogs sa bubuksan na gips at may kahalikan ka fah! Ayayay!

Tama na muna emote. . . back to my polvoron na lang muna ako.
