Celebrating Christmas 2011

Time flies too fast nowadays that the holiday winter season is just a couple of months away. It is already the month of September and you know too well that with the “Ber” months coming, it also means that it is time to prepare for the coming holidays. However, due to the economic crisis that the world is experiencing, one would think if it is even possible to celebrate a decent Christmas. Especially prices of most commodities these days are increasing and now showing any signs of slowing down until the Christmas season starts. But then again, you should not feel anxious about it because there are always a number ways for you to be able to make the necessary preparations for the holiday months. Not to mention, make your Christmas memorable. Remember to keep in mind that Christmas is not all about celebrating in a grandiose manner. It is all about our savior Jesus Christ birthday and the chance for us to remember the importance of sharing with one another.

Christmas Holiday Invitations

You're invited!

One thing which we should not forget when celebrating Christmas is to share Christmas Carols with not only our loved ones but also with our neighbors. It is even better if you could invite close relatives and family members or even your neighbors in singing a joyous Christmas carol as you travel within your neighborhood. Doing so will definitely fill the air with the spirit of Christmas.

Another way to celebrate Christmas is to invite relatives at your place through holiday party invitations. Celebrating Christmas Eve with your family will always be fun and memorable and inviting other relatives can really be worth the effort. Family members can agree into contributing their own individual share that each person will definitely appreciate, be more cost-efficient and without sacrificing the celebration in itself.

Overall, Christmas is just around the corner and maybe it is about time that you make preparations and start with writing those Christmas invitations.

Happy Father’s Day!

I’ve posted my special greetings here to all the fathers out there. Now I’m still thinking of what gift to buy for my father. I’m away from home and I just greeted him through a text message. Hmmm.

What about a gift for my mom instead? Two birds in one stone with intimate apparel! But not the plus size intimate apparel for my mother has medium body-built. I can’t buy them a ticket for holiday since they’re not fond of traveling but I might inspire them to have another honeymoon vacay with this gift. Kidding! They have six children in the family (with me, being the eldest) and that’s a pretty big number already!

Anyway, I know my father will be happy to see my mother getting more beautiful each day, right? I still have two weeks to go before visiting my family in Batangas so the gifts can wait for now. Another option is buying him Ginebra when I get home. Lol. Wish he would allow his daughters to drink with him!

Happy father’s day!!! Cheers!

Show Love and Respect to Elders!

… especially if they are part of your family! Loved ones should not be treated like this! Shame on people on this video who physically hurt their aged parent!

And to DSWD officials, please act as soon as possible. I can feel what Anthony Taberna said and felt on the video – “naha-highblood”!

I was really affected. Made me missed my grandma even more who passed away a year ago. :( I felt as if they’re hurting my grandma.

Please, please… love your parents. Take care of them when they grow older. When they can’t remember anything anymore.

Birthday Gift for Me

Another time of the year, 23rd of January… my birthday.

I was not feeling well all week up until now. Headache, colds and stress almost killed me. And to make my day worst, I just got my period. Excuse me, uhm, but I have to tell this to justify the mixed emotions within this post.

I was so happy last Friday for being one of the top FNMers. Yet I was frustrated on Saturday because I was not able to join the APAC reunion. I miss my old team. The rock-solid relationship among the members and the never-ending kindness of previous team leader.

Sunday then, was my birthday.

I celebrated it with my boyfriend and his family. It was night time when I broke down into tears. I was depressed, telling my boyfriend that I’m already twenty six yet I haven’t accomplished a thing. I’m just a dreamer. I enumerated my plans… everything… To the point of pressuring myself. He said I was a worry-wart. I think so. But only during that night. Because it was my birthday, and I had this damn girl thing.

We had a heart to heart talk, a long yet meaningful conversation. The most serious one from all the talks we had within our 3-year and still counting relationship. We planned together. And it made me feel better.

I was in a state of confusion earlier. For an instant, I don’t know what will happen to me after resignation. But then again, he assured me that he will be there. And he reminded me that I am strong. Yes, I will go for my dreams! This is me… and I always go for what I want without hesitation.

Suddenly, I was so inspired again…

And my birthday, ended like that – with me on his loving arms plus countless kisses of reassurance…

Happy Birthday to me!!!

PS.

If you have to give me a birthday gift, I am not asking for anything material. Not a PS3, iphone 4, laptop or DSLR. Just your prayers. Pray that I become healthier, stronger and successful. Thank you…
