for the first two weeks of december we prepared for our dance for the hdb christmas party.. yah yah i know it's been years since i last had a chance to show my prowess *bwahahahaha* anyway, it all went well during the party itself. the party was last dec. 15 dinner time. there were lots of food, games, raffles and band playing courtesy of our good friends ulrik, buru, ffg, pader lew and 3B.
the following day, it was pitibifor's christmas party celebration at costa sands eastcoast. we rented a chalet for our overnight stay and had some food cooked for our dinner. we played some few games that entangled them together, guessing games that frustrated us to the last minute for not being able to come up with that one word.. hehehe.. then we went out for a walk and had some nice hot cup of coffee at the coffee bean. went back, played card games and jammed with the guys.. well they did, i dozed off while boss was telling some ghost stories. after 3hours, it was daylight so we packed things up and cleaned up the leftovers. niño and i went ahead with ami coz we need to get back to the kids early.
after some 4hours of sleep that sunday, we went out again to start christmas gift shopping. yeah, we wanted to start early to get the nicest pick. i was really dead tired so we didn't stay out so late and just took a cab on our way back home.
last dec.22 we had our department christmas party in hdb auditorium. we participated in the christmas carolling competition, well it's more of a just-for-fun competition. there were lots of food, drinks, logcakes!, ham, turkey and other food that i wasn't able to check out anymore. it was also the last day of this year that pitibifor would be together because most of the guys would go home to pinas to spend the holidays back home. we had dinner at food republic in wisma and it feels like one big happy family dining together, having fun and some few laughs.. remembering all the wonderful things that happened during the whole year.
dec.24, noche buena. some few friends came by the house to share our simple feast. niño's cousin and her family was expected that day. unfortunately, they weren't able to come due to the rains. later that night, some friends of ice from her church came by and spend some time in our home. at 12midnight, we started opening gifts. nixon was very excited and noah as well. it was our first christmas together as a family away from pinas. it's totally different being away from my bro and sisses and parents.. the following day, christmas day, we woke up late and decided to go around vivo city. that place is really huge and swarming with so many people. we just decided to go and have dinner at home.
in between those days up to this time i've been burried with tons of work in the office. nevertheless, i tried to keep up and give as much time as i can to my kids and niño. we're also preparing for nixon's school come jan.3. oh how time flies.. my eldest boy will start schooling and he'll meet new friends and learn new things.
the next few days, i need to think about my plans, our plans for the coming year ahead...
