outreach 2009

i promised to catch up on the things that i wanted to post/share. and here's one that is really worth posting =)

every year, on christmas season, we have our yearly outreach activity. it started out as an idea that since there are 4 of us in our barkada celebrating our birthdays on december, and since we usually go out and treat the whole barkada, why not celebrate it with the less fortunate?...all the celebrants agreed. and all of our friends are very supportive. from then on, it became a yearly activity that we looked forward to.

we opted to have our yearly outreach activity last december 6, 2009 at the la mesa ecopark in quezon city. we figured, it would be great to tour the kids inside the park. it would be something new for them and they would also learn something about taking care of the environment.

of course, there were games, foods and lots of goodies. thanks again to our loyal sponsors as well as to the new addition to our sponsors. the kids surely appreciated it as evident in their happy faces =)

a big thank you also to CHILDHOPE ASIA, for bringing the street children and for assisting us in this activity.

looking forward to more years of doing this great endeavor.

GOD BLESS!!!

february na?!

i just realized that next week is february already...huwaaat?! it seems like i lost track of time...i feel like i haven't really accomplished much of my personal 'to do' things and the month of january has just passed me by...

for one, i haven't really posted much. i really plan on posting something about hubby's hospitalization just to share a bit (and maybe help someone avoid it by the mere act of sharing the story...or maybe inspire others as well of the realizations and lessons that i learned by the experience). oh well, hope i'd be more productive when it comes to that this february....wish me luck! =)

happy new year!

i'm back! whew!

hubby has been sick and we spent our 1st week of 2010 including little missy's birthday in the hospital :(

yes, it was quite stressful...but nevertheless, we took it as a humbling experience....

and despite of it all, we still look forward to a very good year this year of the tiger...

let's welcome the year 2010 with a roar!!!

happy new year everyone!!!

friends are there...

last night i get to spend some time with my high school friends, my 'samakulit' friends. and it was a blast! first time akong hindi natulog magdamag sa sobrang interesting at juicy ng chickahan! but even without the 'juicy chickahan' our 'kada could just hang out and chat endlessly and just be ourselves leaving the worries of being judged or being treated indifferently because of our 'quirks'...and for that, for my dear friends, i am truly thankful...

i'd like to share one of my favorite songs...a theme song from the 'garfield and friends' show. a song that i think would best describe the true essence of friendship.

Friends Are There
To Help You Get Started, To Give You A Push On Your Way

Friends Are There
To Turn You Around, Get Your Feet On The Ground For A Brand New Day

They'll Pick You Up When You're Down
Help You Swallow Your Pride When Something Inside's Got To Break On Through To The Other Side

Friends Are Someone You Can Open Up To
When You Feel Like You're Ready To Flip

When You Got The World On Your Shoulders
Friends Are There To Give You A Tip

Friends Are There When You Need Them
Their Even There When You Don't
For A Walk In The Park, For A Shot In The Dark

Friends Are There
(garfield) I Don't Care
But Friends Will Care For You-u-u-u-u-u-u!

service awards 2009

i just wanted to share this very rare occasion of me dressing up for an event.


taken last october during our company's service awards night. the company decided to cut down on expenses but this activity was retained as it is deemed necessary to recognize the loyal employees of the company which i think is just right.

i must say, the dress looks elegant though it doesn't cost me very much...it is really a good find =)

mommy moments - christmas moments

as in my previous post, this is our first christmas on our own. so we get to decorate our house and decide what food to serve. little missy is excited about the christmas decors...she just love the christmas lights...and the christmas tree. and of course, most of all, she loves opening the gifts, even the ones that aren't hers! ahaha! =)

what's your christmas mommy moments? join us by clicking on the badge below.

merry christmas!!!

this is our first christmas in our own home, and that means our first christmas on our own...

and it is truly is a very merry christmas! we've got some foods on our table, with my wish coming true, that we'd have a free ham, yey!

merry christmas everyone!!! God Bless!!!

i was surprised!

hubby kept on asking me what i want for a birthday gift. and i couldn't answer him directly. well, partly because i'm quite contented with what i have. not that i don't dream anymore of having the latest gadgets, new bags/shoes and what nots, i still do! who wouldn't?! i just feel that i'm so blessed and i am so thankful for the wonderful things that i already have. i've learned to appreciate what things i have, big or small, over the years and i guess i've matured enough not to overspend on unnecessary things. maybe being a mom does the trick =)


but the reason why i can't and don't answer him directly is that, i wanted him to surprise me. and surprised i was! hubby got some beautiful flowers delivered at my office (to the envy of my lady officemates...haba ng hair ko that day!...ahaha!). another gift was the book (entitled 'the shack' which they say is a good read. can't wait to read it!) that a friend recommended which i was looking for at some bookstores already but is always sold out.

thank you very much mahal! i was surprised and truly had a happy birthday!!!

although they tease me of being cheesy...i just wanted to say, thank you again, and i love you! (it's my day, so i can be cheesy all i want! pagbigyan nyo na ako...hehe!)
