A lot like Chistmas!

Something I should have done two weeks ago but only found the energy to put together now, hehe. Our very own Christmas tree. All of it's from Divisoria and recycled from last year except the ribbon which is a left over from our office decor. I vow to replace it of course :)

I am almost done with it I think. Only thing left to do is buy LED lights and wait for my husband to come home for the ceremonial lighting. He loves that sort of things :)

Anyway, to anyone reading this I pray that you will all have a happy and meaningful Christmas! And let us not forget the reason for all the celebrations: that unto us sinners, a Savior is born; one who is called the Prince of Peace, the author and perfector of our faith, the Lamb of God and one who considers us "beloved friends". Really, the reason for the merriment: Jesus Christ :) 

La Familia at Sonya's Garden

at Sonya's garden earlier today in Alfonso, Cavite :) 

so grateful for the opportunity to be together as a family. when I consider everything that has happened in our lives, I can't help but bring back all the praises to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness, mercies, protection and many blessings to our family all these years :) 

praying for more moments like this! 

3 Things I've Learned

... or perhaps I have learned them long ago, but forgot?

1. If you want something new, learn first how to take care of it before acquiring that. applies mostly to big ticket items like DSLRs, cars, houses and kids!
2. If you feel the need to have something accomplished, do household chores. washing the dishes and taking out trash will help -- tiring but at the same time empowering hehe!
3. Purging or letting go of something worthless feels so much better than acquiring something new. I have experienced this many times. 

Missing my Habibi Much

Booked another flight from Clark to SG. Departure date on Feb 14 :)

I will see you again soon, my habibi. On Valentine's day if everything goes well.

Amishu!

Home Bound

Pictures taken around 2AM last Monday at the Changi Airport Terminal 1 just before boarding. I was sad to leave JP behind but at the same time grateful for the time spent taking care of him in his time of need. See you soon habibi :)

Aston's

not demi moore's ex but a steak place we love going to here in SG. this is our SG version of Racks in Manila i suppose.

we meat lovers love them medium well steak from Aston's ever since we discovered the place at Suntec almost a year ago :) but since my husband is still unable to walk without the aid of crutches we try to avoid venturing out too far. fortunately there is an Aston's express outlet nearby. i was okay with just cooking dinner or ordering in but JP wanted to take me out on a date tonight and insisted we go there.

i was not disappointed although i hoped my steak spent a little more time in the griller. was also a little disappointed with the lemon iced tea served so next time ill make sure to order soda instead and remind the kitchen to cook my meat a little longer :)
