We were so full not only with the food but with memories!

So Nhery and I wanted to see each other for Christmas and Levi was there to fetched me! 

And boom, we had dinner together at Super Bowl, Trinoma!

Then we walked and talked and had coffee at Starbucks to unwind! 

For sure, this is just the start and more bonding to come next year! Woohoo! :)

December 15, 2012 - CHU'S DATE @ CONTI'S

I love my sister! I had another date with her this month!

This time, it's her treat! We had this lovely dinner @ Conti's.

We love the food and the ambiance!

I remembered that time I was really full because we ate a lot of rice, pasta and cake!! 

Thank you, Chu! I love you! And I treasure every date we had! 

Next time, hopefully, my big sister will come with us! YEY! 

It will be more fun! :)

December 18, 2012: DATE WITH HAZEL @ SWEET PEA

This date was one week overdue and thank God, it happened! :)
Hazel was one of my first friends at work and we decided to dine together!
We were really hungry by the time we met because it was too late (we were busy with work?? hehe).
So we decided to eat here. It's my second time and I guarantee that their cakes are the best! :))
Thanks Hazel for this wonderful time! I know this isn't the last time. Hope Mich will come too! Wee! :)

December 27, 2012: LEVIJEN RAMEN DATE @ TOKYO TOKYO

My boyfriend and I were dating weekly. Sometimes, we date when we like it.

We do that because it is spending quality time together. Bro. Bo taught us that it's better to have dates with our loved ones and this is one of those which I shared with my Instagram.

It's a Ramen date since we love to watch "Naruto" and Naruto loves Ramen! hahah! We love it too! :))

December 30, 2012: PIKSELOT YEAR ENDER DATE @ CAFE MARY GRACE 

[Added 1/4/2013]

My high school barkada are planning to see each other for Christmas but it was always rescheduled.

This was the day when Pam sent us a message that she wanted to see us just for a Coffee or Milk Tea.

And boom, 3 of us met! We had dinner at Cafe Mary Grace, Trinoma and had milk tea at Gong Cha! :p

I love it! We will see each other on January! 

Thank you God for my loved ones. I know whatever happens, they will stand by me.

They will fight for me, with me! :)

Thank you! Time is gold. Time is important and they are important.

I treasure every moment I spent and will spend with them! 

Pictures are forever and my love for you all is for a lifetime! :)

It's MERRY Christmas after all :)

Thank God I had a good schedule.
I had my rest days from December 23 - 25 and these were exactly the dates that we had to celebrate the birth of our Lord.


December 23: Yearly Family Reunion (father side)

This was the start of me feeling the Christmas vibes!
We went to Cavite to give gifts and receive (yahoo) and sing our hearts out!
We also performed unexpectedly. We danced the medley we had last August when my grandma celebrated her 80th.
And danced the "Gangnam Style"!

It was fun filled day! Yahoo!


December 24: Noche Buena

Christmas was our Lord's birthday so we attended "Simbang Gabi".
Then we had our Noche Buena full of sweets! HAHA!

OMG! I was so happy with the Baked Mac cooked by my sis! My favorite!! :D
And for the second time, we danced the Gangnam Style! (Can't get enough of this!!)

December 25: Family Bonding

So we had our socks put on the Christmas tree for Santa! :D I had mine filled with money!! Thank you, Santa (or should I say Mom and Dad :p)

Then I received gifts from family and friends! Thank you!! Mwaa!

My boyfriend surprised me again with his gift!!
So he gave me a brown wrapped gift and when I opened it, it was a blue watch with little note.
The note says that his another gift was with my sister! So my sister gave it to me and it was a striking gold watch with another little note.
It says his another gift was with my Dad! hahah! So funny moment! And that was a Citizen gold watch that I really want to have!! OMG!


Thank you Honey! My reaction was priceless! :D

Then after the gifts opening, we went to QC Circle (just like last year) that afternoon to walk and breathe the fresh air!

There were many people! Oh Christmas breeze!


Thank You God for my loving family! Thank You for my colorful life!
Happy Birthday and we love You! :)

True LOVE is real

If I will have a family in the future, I would love it to be like my family.
If I will have a husband, I want it to be like my Dad.
If I will be a wife, I want to be like my Mom.

My parents are my idols.
They raised us well. Our house is beautiful and well-maintained.
Our education is high level. We become what we are because of them.

I get inspired with the love they are sharing.
They may have ups and downs but it's more on "love", really!

For 31 years, they are married.
They are a proof that true love exists, that a marriage can really lasts a lifetime.

They plan, execute and now they are happy.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
We both love you! :) More years to come!

12.12.12

Today is the last time we have a same number date.
Today, there are many weddings happenings, celebrations, parties..
Today is even our company's year ender party..

And where am I?
Today will be just like ordinary day..
Today I have work. I won't come to our year ender party which made me sad.

Hey, I started this day with a simple yet lovely date with my Honey.
It was unexpected. We ate his favorite pizza flavor as of this moment: Hawaiian @ Yellow Cab and our favorite WinterMelon milk tea @ Moonleaf.

Just a random moment when we had a quality time together.
Yes, it may not be grand but it was touching.
Now, I should still be grateful!:)
Today, I will have more fun!

Champions, ARISE!:)

It's a time of the year which my siblings anticipate.. 

Time for KERYGMA Conference 2012! :)

This is the third time that I'll be attending and every year, the experience is new!

From Youth then Singles, now it's Career and Leadership streams!

You read it right, two streams in one conference.

And the theme is Champions, Arise!! Oh yes! This all happened in SM MoA Arena and SMX!:)

I am with my siblings, cousins and boyfriend! We are all in RED "Claim the Victory" T-shirts which were free when we bought our early bird tickets. :)

[Day 1] November 24, 2012: Opening Ceremony and Career Stream

The Opening ceremony is like a concert, yes, it's a concert for God! :) We are blessed!

We had our Career Stream with Ate Jopai, Kuya Gary and Jhoven on Day 1.

Others were in Business stream and Catholic Faith.

What I learned: Even if we are surrounded with bad vibes, we should always be positive in life.
Hardships at work are only challenges that will make us stronger and better! We should not be fear, but rather face our fears!

On this day also, I saw Jamie! She also attended the same stream but we had different accompany! I'm so tall, o! HEHE! Kidding, Jamie! ;) I also saw my "Pares" Jean and Cha unexpectedly! :)

[Day 2] November 25, 2012: Leadership Stream and Grand Feast

So my boyfriend and I attended the same stream on Day 2 which is Leadership stream! :)
What I learned: Just this: LEADERSHIP is INFLUENCE.

On Grand Feast, I was surprised with our guest, the one and only, Lani Misalucha! She was superb!!

We are all Champions! We should claim our victory! Our goals will come true.
We may be experiencing "rain" now, but the "sunshine" will come!
GREAT things will come to us! God won't abandon us! :)

Then as we end our fruitful weekend with the birthday celebration of my big brother! Yahoo!

I bought the 15" Greenwich Hawaiian Overload Pizza that's super yummy and box office! LOL!

We are all blessed!

I am blessed and thankful!

Thank you God for my happy life! :)

'Til the next conference! KCON ON!:)
