Happy New Year !!!

 Just a few more hours and it will be 2023 and i would say that there are lots of not so good happened this year, but God is great, it just strengthened our faith and i felt HIS presence during our difficult times. I'm still very thankful that i am still alive and despite our struggles, HE still gave us more blessings. We just hope that this coming new year will bring more happiness, love, success, good health, safety, good life  and peace not only to our family but to everyone. By the way, we start our last day of the year by receiving food deliveries from my kiddos in Qatar and here in San Pedro. Thanks a lot, you made me and your Uncle Dirk very happy. One thing that i am very grateful to our Lord is that HE gave me a loving and respectful children. I am really not that showy with my feelings but deep inside me, my kids and my family are my life and everything.

By the way, i also attended the general assembly and christmas party for senior citizen of Calendola Village and St. Raymond Homes. It was a good feeling seeing those co seniors enjoying the party. 

Family Christmas Party

 Our family had two christmas party, one hosted by me here in San Pedro and the other one was hosted by their father in Molino, Cavite.  Its acceptable to all my children our blended family and seem to enjoy it because of two christmas celebrations. Anyway, this yuletide season is a time for family gathering, giving love, gifts and happiness to each other. 

Merry Christmas !!!

 

From my family to yours, a meaningful and blessed christmas to all our relatives andfriends, near and far.

Dirk's Birthday

 Dirk turned 67 last monday, December 19 and his only request is to have lunch at Fridays. I gave in to his request but he got more, because my daughter Astrid send a birthday cake and his favorite ribsteak. I thank God for adding another year on his life and my wish for him is to maintain his good health.

Christmas Bonding with Sisters and Friends

We're back to our normal lives after the pandemic, and one of the things i missed  is being with friends. It was a nice tuesday bonding also with my sisters with karaoke music and delicious foods....

December Celebrants

 Four of my children are celebrating their birthdays in the month of December. Jr, the youngest among the brood is celebrating his birthday on December 1, Rose Belle December 7 and Andrew and Aizza share the same birthdate December 12. Though my eldest daughter had her celebration in Canada, the three siblings just have a simple celebration at Andrew's home with their father and stepmother. My wishes to all of them are always the same, good health, more happiness, be a blessings to others, remain grounded, respectful to others and always pray. 

Surprise Birthday Party

 My only sister in law turned 67 last December 8 and she had no idea that her family prepared a surprise birthday celebration for her. She first invited us for lunch at their home but all of us declined because of a busy schedule. She is soo sad that day that she decided that she will just go to the mall. My nephew bring her to McDonalds and got the surprise of her life because all her friends, former co teachers, relatives, grandkids and kids are there. She was teary eyed upon seeing all of us and deep inside her she is very happy. The pictures below will just speak for itself.....
