Our 6th Year Anniversary

Yes, it's our 6th Anniversary today. Hubby and I treated ourselves to an afternoon of pampering and relaxation. We had a 1-hour whole body massage and a facial treatment. Ang sarap ng feeling! My mom is in Cebu and my Dad was in Infanta, Quezon so we asked my mother-in-law to look after the kids first while we celebrate our anniversary.

6 Years ... 2 kids ... and a whole lot more of stories to tell our kids as we journey thru years of being together. I love you Daddy!!!

Christmas Greeting!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!!!

The Reason for the Season

Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
Santa is a myth
But Jesus is the Truth, the Way, and the Life
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.

Birthday Countdown - 3 days to go!

Well ... well ... well ... the days nowadays are as fast as the speed of light. Only 3 more days before Renzo's first birthday. I haven't completed yet shopping for prizes for the games and loot bag items. The birthday cake was just ordered this evening and thank God 'coz special cakes at Goldilocks should now be ordered 2-3 days in advance ... yipee! Hopefully, balloons (take note: balloon art) will be given by his ninang jacque and ninong simon - and I do hope that they can drop by too with simone for the party.

Hopefully, hubby and I will be able to finish all the birthday preps tomorrow or up until friday. Of course, party food will be handled by my very own mom!!! Will just get help from our relatives to help in the kitchen.

Way to Go Camp Rock!!!

High School Musical … Jonas Brothers … Camp Rock ... I see them everywhere. My nephews and nieces are so crazy about these guys. They wanted to own everything that is affiliated with it. Name it bags, pencils, notebooks, t-shirts and even their own collection copy of the CD. One time after having dinner at their house they showed me their large selection of Jonas Brothers Stuff and I was wowed by how many they have … they really have a huge selection. Some were given by their cousins; some were gifts from their aunties and uncles, and some they got from trading from their classmates.I’m still in a lookout of some other stuff they still don’t have in their collection – and this is giving me a very, very hard time. But of course, for my love to these little bunches – no other way but to look and hunt for them. For Camp Rock Fans - Jonas Brothers a sure hit! Every high school and elementary students I talk to, this is one topic that they could go over, and over, and over again. Well at least they go gaga over these things instead of taking drugs … right? So, off to my gift hunting again!!!

Christmas Party Preps!!!

I was assigned to head our Christmas Party committee ... (grrr, why now ... I'm still in the midst of Renzo's 1st Birthday preps too!) ... O well, maybe this is just another case of multi-tasking. Anyhow, let me put everything in writing (and blogging). The following has been accomplished already ...

1. Tent Rental
2. Evaporator Cooler Rental
3. Assigned people to take care of the physical arrangements (stage design, backdrop, etc.)
4. Assigned somebody to get a band with lights and sounds as well
5. Printing and distribution of Invitations
Not bad ...

But I still have to finalize the following:
1. Caterer
2. Contact Lechon Baka and Lechon Baboy
3. Order drinks
4. Purchase Raffle Items

In case I still forgot something, please do leave and give a comment. Thanks everyone!!!
