Christmas has come and gone, but luckily, I have all the good memories, the pictures and the pounds I gained from over eating! It was a nice Christmas because I was on leave on the 24th so I got to stay home and welcome Christmas with the family.
For years now, we always go to mass before midnight, then go home and share a simple Noche Buena. I prepared spaghetti, na stiantus ko sa FB na sino ang may gusto, maya maya dumating si Melanie! She's a college bestfriend at natuwa ako sa surprise nya. Basta food maaasahan si Mel. Kaya kami friends e!
At natuwa din sya sa spaghetti, obvious ba? :)
She had to leave after (thanks for the surprise!) kasi we had to go to mass. Box office sa simbahan, we had to stay outside the church and hear the mass from there. The church looked extra festive! Though sana tinangal muna ung banner about the RH Bill. I felt that it was too imposing.
After ng mass, we went home. Picture taking along the way :)My sister Carla looks up to Justin Bieber, can you tell? :)
At mahangin, can you tell? :) I love my Mickey tee :)
Picture pa sa bahay :)
Our handa :)
I cooked spaghetti! @popoy, ito yung niluto ko o haha :)
Star ng noche buena - isang bandehadong buko salad!
This was my 10th bowl of salad! Sabi last na pero naka dami pa ako after..

At ayan, natulog kaming busog. Kinabukasan, pumunta naman kami sa bahay ng aking tita para sa aming family Christmas party. This is a yearly event as well, which we look forward to kasi medyo bihira kami makumpleto. Anyways, share ko lang tong picture na to, na shock kasi ako (as in shock!) when I opened our freezer and saw this. Nakakalurqui! Nilitson ang ulo ni piggy at yung ang share namin sa potluck. I felt too bad for the pig, di ako kumain ng litson.
Poor piggy :/Pag dating sa venue, kain na agad :)
Ito naman ang star ng Pasko para sa akin, my fave pancit malabon. 1/4 nyang bilao kinain ko :)
Laki ng smile :)
Masaya din ang aking dear brother Ge :)
Cousin Tristan ang Juno :)
Ang mailap kong pamangkin na si Vinci, napa amo ko dahil sa iTouch :)
Tsaka ko sya kinidnap :)
Yang may pakulo pang games. This is a revised version ng jack n poy. Adik lang.
At dahil adik ang game, ako nanalo! Haha. I won P240, binigay ko sa lola ko para matuwa naman sya sa akin. Infernez, natuwa naman sya :)
My cutesy inaanak Andi! She's english speaking you know! May photoshoot pa kami nyan with my cousins pero hintay ko pang ma upload :)
Ayan, ito pa isang game, shoo-shoot ang straw sa bote, habang nakasingit sa singit. So halay! Buti di ako sinali dito baka naloka sila haha :)
May Pinoy Henyo din, di ako sumali kasi baka magti-tili ako pag na tense :)
Gift giving na after! I received nice gifts, nakalimutan kong pikpakan! Excited magbukas e :)
Papa with brothers and sisters and lola 
Lolo was there too! Nasa urn nga lang :)
Cousins naman..ako pinaka cute no? 
Ayan kumontra sila, nagtawanan haha :)
After ng gift giving, nag uwian na lahat. Alam na! Gifts lang habol :) Okay na ding uwian na kasi I have work pa. It was nice being with family and my dear cousins :) Wala pang tulog pero okay lang, makikita ko na ulit si Jung! Eto eksena sa office, picture dapat with the Christmas tree :) Una si TL Fer.Tapos si June....at syempre save the best for last..Zaizikels! 7 feet ang Christmas tree, dapat nag platforms ako ng nagpantay kami :)At ayan, may gift sa akin si JungSu, may kodakan moments kami. In return, may gift ako sa kanya, chocolates! Ako na ang makapag bigay ng chocolates! Haha :) Anyway, he's half Korean kaya ganun ang name nya. He doesn't look cute in pictures but he does in real life. May pagtatangol! At mukhang napuyat ata sa kaka tetris kaya may slight pimples :) Marseng Joanne is absent kasi biglang nagka bulutong. We visited her the day after naman and brought all her gifts. I hope you'll get well soon (wag sanang 2 weeks) and I know you're such a strong girl! Mas strong ka pa nga sa akin e! I love you marse and we'll always be here no matter what. Kahit kahawig mo na si Bakekang :) Bilisan mo gumaling at wala akong kasamang magkape!
And that is it! That's how I spent my Christmas. It was fun and it made me realize nothing beats Christmas, or any other event if you spend it with your family. And friends na din syempre. I hope you all had a great and very filling Christmas as well. Up next..New Year! :)
BTW, I'll end this post with a picture from my celebrity friend, Ms World 1st Runner Up 2011 - si Gwenduling! This picture makes me laugh like crazy! Tawa din kayo, pagtawanan natin si June. ♥ you June!
