A simple celebration for our 2nd wedding anniversary

Me, few minutes before our wedding



Today is our wedding anniversary. We attended a Holy mass at Sta. Ana Shrine Parish where we held our wedding 2 years ago. We decided not to bring Keona with us because we know we can't concentrate if she's with us. We'll be occupied with walking, running and she'll be shouting inside the church which we have experienced before. After the mass, we went to Gaisano mall to have dinner. We decided to eat at Dimsum because there were only few people. We don't like to eat in crowded places, it will take forever for us to be served. I jokingly told hubby that our marriage is not yet tested with time but he refuted that even if it's only 2 years, we have hurdled a lot of "storms" in our lives together which I readily agree:)).

Our marriage is not a bed of roses but we always try to work it out together, to be always committed with each other.

Christmas Noche Buena

How's your Christmas celebration? We celebrated Christmas without firecrackers for it is prohibited here in Davao City. To make some noise on the Christmas eve, Pappa rented a videoke and we sing our hearts out:). I really am not fond of singing.hehe.I'm afraid the rain will pour down if I sing :). It was the house helps who were like making a concert of themselves and sing until around 3 o'clock in the morning. They just lowered the volume so as not to disturbed the neighbors. We also use toy horn (locally known as torotot).What's on our table? Yummy lechon (roasted pig), spaghetti, mango float, pineapple bars, ice cream....It is the time that I really indulge:), not minding of the fats.

On Christmas caroling and carolers

Since it's Christmas season there are so many children who are doing their caroling in our house . They are so many that, if we don't prepare for coins, we'll run out of something to give to them. The funny thing is, their lyrics are far from the correct one:).

Joy to the world, the Lord is come. Let ever see, ber see....


Mom gets irritated with it but I find it cute.hehehe. I can relate to it because me and my cousins used to do caroling when we were also young. And we didn't care about the lyrics.LOL. As long as it sounds the same. Hubby is very strict to the carolers. He wants them to sing 2 or 3 songs before he gives them coins because when he was young, he used to sing 2-3 songs in every house.

For me, as long as they sing it from their heart, it's OK. I like the simplicity and the innocence of the carolers. Merry Christmas everyone!

I love Christmas vacation!

Today starts our Christmas vacation. Yipeeee! I'm savoring this moment. No work. No rushing in the morning. No setting of time in the alarm clock. No seeing of Keona's sad face (sometimes crying face) when me and hubby bid her goodbye for work.

I love Christmas vacation. Time to stroll around in the neighborhood. Me and hubby together with Keona can have an afternoon walk. We have all the time we can spend the way we want it. And I can laze around just like Sundays:). Four more days to go and it's gonna be Christmas time. Done with the groceries and shopping with gifts. Merry Christmas everyone:)

All dressed up for Christmas

Mom has been very busy putting up Christmas decors at home lately. She had a tree and put on the lights in front of the house. Keona, being very curious, kept on getting the Christmas balls in the tree. And she wants to get outside of the house to see the beautiful lights in the neighborhood!


Keona gets the boxes below the tree




Here she is, touching the decors of the tree

She always says "ganda" (beautiful) of these lights in our door


Keona loves to see these lights in the neighborhood

Scrapbook # 4- When me and hubby was still dating

Advent recollection for me and hubby

Advent is a time when we Catholics prepare for the coming of Jesus in Christmas. As I have mentioned in my previous post, me and hubby attended a recollection. It is intended for evaluating ourselves in a spiritual manner. As Socrates have said, "an unexamined life is not worth living". So that recollection is like examining ourselves. It's also a good time for us to bond spiritually.

A lot of things we have learned from our facilitator Fr. Jose Mari Esquadro:

  • we should let go of our past hurts and we should not allow it to hamper us from growing.
  • we can be likened to a well. in the surface is a very clean water but beneath the water, there's dirt and mud in it. but if we go beyond the water, there is that spring which gives life to the well. as a person, we should not dwell on our woundedness.
  • we can be likened to a mustard seed. the question is..have far have we grown? do we bear fruits?

Happy birthday Mama Alice:)

(This is a scheduled post, me and hubby are scheduled for an advent recollection today)
Today is Mama Alice's birthday. She's celebrating her birthday in the province where she is based together with my three unmarried siblings. She invited me and she told me that she's having a lechon (roasted pig) but I can't make it due to my scheduled recollection and besides, it's too far away. I love my mother very much. She married at the young age of 23 to my father who was turning 40. They have a wonderful marriage. But Papa died at age 69, few years after his forced retirement at 65. Since then, she doubled her efforts in order to meet the needs of her family, sending my two siblings to college and the youngest, high school. She works from Monday to Friday as a clerk, checked on the rice farm on Saturdays and sell groceries and ready to wear (RTW) goodies on Sundays. I admire her courage and strength and I'm really proud of her. Happy birthday Mom. I hope and pray for more birthdays to come, good health always and more blessings!

Identifying colors through ref magnets






Keona loves to walking around the house by holding just one of my hands and whenever she passes by the refrigerator, she stops, and rearrange the different magnetic fruits in its door. And she identifies their colors. She points to the particular fruit corresponding to the color I asked her. Her favorite color? Green and blue! And she's learning fast. Thanks to Mom who acts as her tutor whenever me and hubby are at work during the day.
