How Was Your Christmas People?

Hi! I'm back to the office today. Gosh, it feels good to have that much-needed vacation. Our Christmas holiday went great! I have so many things that I want to blog about but I have to work muna. Meanwhile, here's my list of "bloggable" kwentos:

1. Lunch with officemates at Dong Wan Korean resto
2. Migraine attacks during the peak of the Christmas rush (it's a struggle to be bothered by migraine on ordinary days what more kung Pasko)
3. My date with my Ate (trip to the Ayala museum and food adventure)
4. Malling at MOA with my family (Zoe's first time)
5. Zoe's First Haircut
6. Christmas Eve Mass and opening of Christmas gifts
7. Christmas Day Reunion with cousins and in-laws (busy, busy, busy)
8. Gian's 2nd Barney-themed Birthday Party

Important Foodie Lesson Learned this Christmas: Always store the buko salad in the freezer and not just in the ref. Otherwise, you'll be throwing away your money on spoiled food. Haha! I always knew that because my mom always reminded me of it but somehow it slipped my mind last Christmas so I let a kilo and a half of buko salad go to waste. :-( Tsk. Tsk.

Anyway, there's more! I still have a number of activities to look forward to in the coming days/weeks, like:

1. Christmas Party with my UP friends
2. New Year's Eve Celebration - to buy or not to buy paputok, that is the question
3. Family Reunion (again)
4. Crista's baptism and birthday party at Cravings (I'm gonna be Ninang)
5. Trip to Iloilo with Hubby, Tatay, Zoe and Yaya 3rd week of January 2008

Looks like it's still a busy month for me!

Will post more kwentos and pics in awhile. I'm posting this picture as a preview on how we spent our Christmas :


Belated Merry Christmas from my family to yours!

Zoe's 2nd Birthday Party!

Image
Caution: Loaded with pictures!!! Everything was set for Zoe's 2nd birthday party. We initially invited only a few close family and friends but then our guest list ballooned up to more than 60 people on the day before. No regrets because it turned out to be so much fun! First, the FOOD! We asked the help of my SIL to cook kare-kare and kalderata while our Ate Nilda prepared molo soup, spaghetti, hotdog on stick and fruit medley. My Ninang pitched in and made some leche flan while I made peach & mango ref cake and some canapes (with egg salad) which was a HIT (thanks Anne for the tip!). Our birthday cake was from Red Ribbon (best buy!) while the rest of the food (pancit bam-i, fresh lumpia, chicken lollipops, herb-crusted fish fillet) were ordered from ever dependable Conti's. Pictures here: We had some goody bags and party hats for the guests too. The party started at 12 noon with a short prayer and a cheerful happy birthday song for Zoe: Then it was chowtime right ...
