The Closure

My 2015 started very bad.  As in, very very bad!  Cried buckets of tears for weeks, posted really bitter FB and IG posts, stopped living and just existed - these and just these that I did!  I wallowed in misery, depression.  Yeah, yeah, depression!  I didn't bother to get myself back together however, it is fate that did.  Because in all those dealings, I had my friends picking me up.  

Thanks to my little store friend, Hanah for coming right away (even without her knowing of what just happened).  To Ruth for immediately coming to the rescue right then and there, to Cherry Ann and Sandy for the company right after.  To MM and Atsi Ann who are always a text away, Pen2x for opening up my mind, Ruth again for taking care of me in CDO, Cherry Ann again in Cebu, and Cathy in Iligan.  To Arbie, Glendale, Toti, and Mimi for consoling me through their pm's, to Quennie, Will, and ex-friend Gino for lighting up my days through our now dead group chat, Pineapple Juice.  And of course to Kring2x for giving me the Dear Alex book, an instrument for me to let go and move on.  Thank you so so much, guys for always being there for me.  Thank you for listening to my very shallow concerns.  I'm sorry that sometimes I may like be a clanging cymbal, very noisy with my little issues but still, you're all there giving me attention.  With that, I am indebted to you.  Thank you for helping me survive my darkest days in 2015!

Now, enough with the drama!  After the dark days, bright and even brighter days followed!  2015 gave me more than what I expected in terms of places to see, parties to enjoy, people to hang-out withfood to eatmaterial things to invest, and new adventures to experience!  I also noticed that after every heartbreak, financial blessings flow abundantly.  I guess love and career never go hand in hand.  We cannot have both at the same time and as of the moment, it is the career that's working well in my life.  So for the boys out there, come and break my heart for I now know the aftermath of it and am willing to receive the overflowing blessings that result from it!  Bwahaha!!!  Still single as is, still waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting.....

And in a nice note, 2015 indeed was the year of God's favor in my life!  Though the year started bad, it ended up really really good!  So if I was beyond blessed in 2014 and if I desired to be blessed to be a blessing in 2015, I will be anointed to be a blessing in 2016!  

Grateful, grateful, grateful!  I am just wonderfully grateful!  :)
2015 was such a blast!  Bring on 2016! :)

Bountiful New Year 2016


Welcoming new years must be celebrated with a bang!  There must be food, wine, fire crackers, hornpipes, noise, and coins.  It must be festive to bring in good vibes for the upcoming year!  But above all, there must also be our loved ones to share everything with.  And we're super happy this year that sissy Ep2x and cuzzy Cang2x went home for the holidays.  Additionally, we also had guests so we've become plenty to welcome another bountiful year!
Thank you for celebrating with us, Kuya Boots and Bambi! :)
As what we do every year, we had our devotional first being led by Papa to thank God for all the favors and blessings the whole year through.  We offered songs of praise and prayers before eating our sumptuous media noche.


Then the kulitan started especially when the clock struck exactly 12 midnight when Mama and Papa showered the house with coins!  As usual, it was cuzzy Rio who got the most number of coins!


And the kulitan continued with Rio's video karaoke.  Song after song they went with Bambi that we ended the party at 3 AM!


'Twas our celebration of thanksgiving for 2015 and welcoming 2016!  Though plenty didn't get the polka dots memo, we still look good in pictures because it is the essence of unity in the family that matters.  Have a prosperous new year 2016, everyone! :)

Media Noche Through the Years

Recipe after recipe, art after art.  Table after table, outfit after outfit.  Preparing media noche every year is always a masterpiece to me.  Thank God for the gift and passion in cooking, thank you Lord for Thy great blessings!  A decade of cooking for my family always brings joy to my heart especially when there are no leftovers.  Cheers to 2016, everyone! :)
