Anniversary

2008 was an excellent year for me. God has been so good! I got a new job, was engaged and married the guy I can’t imagine my life without. The best decision I have ever made my whole life! 2 months to go and we’ll celebrate our anniversary. Hint hint hint! ☺

Today marks my 1st year in DELL. How time flies so fast! I’m so grateful to be part of this company. I’m not saying life is easier here, it’s a big NO. Everyday I face new challenges, running against time and chasing numbers. Believe me when I say it’s not easy. Nevertheless, I’m thankful to have a job specially these time that every country is experiencing turmoil.

2009 is the time to count our blessings very well.

To my dear mother-in-law,
Mommy Melvi

Happy Birthday!

Wish you all the best.

Prayer for the New Year

O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises,
thank you for the gift of a new year.
May it be a time of grace for us,
a time to grow in faith and love,
a time to renew our commitment to following Your Son, Jesus.

May it be a year of blessing for us,
a time to cherish our families and friends,
a time to renew our efforts at work,
a time to embrace our faith more fully.

Walk with us, please, in every day and every hour of this new year,
that the light of Christ might shine through us,
in spite of our weaknesses and failings.
Above all, may I remember this year that we are pilgrims on the sacred path to you.

Amen.

Happy 2009 everyone!

Here’s our photo taken on the eve of new year. Our 1st new year TWOgether. *wink* It has always been a tradition for us to wear red and funny hats. *heehee*

Happy New Year!

17 days of holidays is simply fantastic! Just don’t want it to end…

Here’s my last post for this year…

Hate, Hate, Hate!

Power if not managed properly can be abusive and ruthless…

It is such a big shame to have leaders like them. Tsk!

Memories of Christmas

I have fond memories of Christmas specially when I was a kid. I get giddy every start of “Ber” months, which is in September. I usually do my ‘research’ of what gifts to ask from my parents and of course, Santa Clause. Yes, I believe in Santa and will always do. *wink*

Would you believe that I started writing to Santa even before I learned how to write? I remember Daddy holding my hands as I scribble the letters to come up with words to complete a sentence. *heehee* My letter always starts with “Dear Santa…” and ends with “I’ve been a good girl this year”. *hahaha* In the middle, I ask for what I want for Christmas. Many times, I asked for Barbie dolls and lots of chocolates! *smiles* Whatever I ask, Santa gives *beams* and this privilege happens only once a year. *wink*

Middle of December, my brothers and myself will rummage through our Daddy’s closet to get the oldest and biggest tennis socks we can use. Socks should always be 4. For myself and my 3 brothers.

We put our letters inside the socks and hang them outside our windows. This made us so thrilled to wake up early morning of Christmas day to see if our socks are filled up with chocolates and the gifts we’ve been meaning to have. It was always a success year on year! *hahaha* Then we all go to church together.

I’m blessed to have happy childhood memories. Reason why I try my very best to instill good ones to my ‘pamangkins’ on my own special way…

Merry Christmas! ☺☺☺

Can't Wait...

I'm Back!

So my friends were asking me what was it that I was doing in the last few weeks that I’ve been keeping my blog outdated.

Nothing much, just all work.

Now, I’m enjoying holidays!

Bliss. ☺☺☺

My Genie

For many months, I’ve been looking for a certain powder of MAC. Since it is a limited edition, (sold out everywhere in Asia) I lost hope on getting one. I actually forgot about it already.

Then, a very good friend sent me one from US...






The exact shade I’ve been dying to have. *yipee*

Thank you very much Cyl! ☺☺☺

Thanks for being my Genie. *smiles*

You don’t know how grateful I am for this special gift. I had to road test it this morning (I super like it!) and will continue using every single day! I LAV ET! *LOL*

Here’s a BIG hug to you mare! ☺

Ho! Ho! Ho!

50 days to go before Christmas.

WOW!

P.S. Happy Birthday to my dearest father-in-law (FIL). Wish you good health and long life. We love you! ☺
