OBAMA Fever

Have you seen Barack Obama's Oath taking ceremony last January 21 (Phil time)? Well I do.. I stayed up late to watch another American history unfold. I don't want to miss it, the oath taking of the first African-American president. Honestly I was so happy watching the event and deep inside me I'm praying that he'll be the man to make changes not only in America but the world. The man is really charming and a very eloquent speaker. I was enjoying the video while the First couple dances on one of those inaugural balls (Home State Ball) they've attended. And how flattering to hear the President asking the audience on the Neighborhood inaugural ball "First of all, how good-looking is my wife?", as Michelle Obama revealed her second blockbuster outfit of the day: a white chiffon one-shoulder gown by Jason Wu.

GET TOGETHER - December 21

I got another activity last December which I forgot to upload in my blog. But as they've said, better late than never. So to all my college friends who make it to Lucy's blow-out (sorry Lucy I need to go home early that day so I've missed you) here are some of our enjoyable moments in Hap Chan captured from my digicam.

Here are the fruits of our love..

The kids with Bill and Father Ray.

Now, I wonder what's Bill is saying which makes Father Rey smile.. These are two of our batchmates who pursue another road to success.. Bill is a well known couturier while Father Ray is a priest.

Ohh.. It's Father Ray's birthday... Happy Birthday Father ..

I LOVE THIS MASCOT

I remember last December when our village had its Christmas party and the guests are some mascots from Jollibee. I suddenly felt in love with Hetty their lady mascot. Hetty is wearing a very colorful dress which is so yummy to look at (lavander and pink) and her eyes is so tantalizing . And yes she danced gracefully. That nite I felt like a child, I didn't removed my eyes from Hetty and kept on taking pics of her. Here are some pics of me with Hetty.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!!! Do you know that in the Philippines New Year is also celebrated as part of Christmas? That is why it was only us who celebrates Christmas that long (from December 16 up to the first Sunday of January).
It is also in New Year where most of the families do have their family reunions.
As always the Media Noche was celebrated with feast on the dining table and fireworks. My son who is 11 years old was so brave to lit our fireworks.

January 2, my husband's family decided to travel to Caliraya amidst the very cold weather (the temperature here drops to 19.8 degrees C). Well we have fun at Japanese Garden where the kids playfully run around the area. Just take a look at all the pics that we have. Oh by the way, the lake that you see behind us is the Caliraya Lake (a man-made lake).
