Remember Me?

Hahaha! It's been daaaaaysss since my last post. Now that the holiday rush is over, I have all the reason to start posting again. I can now sit back and relive the past whirlwind of activities with loved ones through my pictures... Join me! :D

EARLIER IN DECEMBER...

... the biggest Christmas tree in the province of Cebu was lit...
Giant Tree
This marks the site of Fuente Osmena Circle where every year, during the Christmas season, different bands perform. Local and foreign tourists alike are treated to this nightly party atmosphere which Cebu has dubbed as Pasko sa Sugbo.

... we attended this forum sponsored by Cedf-IT and Globe. With the new technobiz, Jerry and I have to keep ourselves abreast with IT trends in the country.

... the kids got to visit me at work during their Christmas break. Here they are in one of my zoomed-in shots of the open space across my place of work. Looks like they were having as much fun playing as I was watching them. :D

... Jerry and I attended the Globequest Customers Appreciation Night at the Marriott Hotel where I met an old friend from DLSU. Grace (formerly Ms. Jarin), is now a top Marketing honcho at Globe/Innove. Impressive! :D

...We watched Matt's championship games in two basketball leagues...where Matt received a medal (not for MVP but) for being the Best Defensive Player.
Champions!

Champion again

... Before flying back to Cebu, Jerry and I went to the Manila Pen to savor their very own green tea ice cream. The Pen lobby is still as breathtaking as before....

Wishing everyone peace, good health and a very prosperous 2006!

    HI JERRY!
    I agree! Now that's not even all the pictures that I took but just a few chosen ones for the blog...

    HI JUNNIE!
    This year's season is one of the most memorable in years with the surprise anniversary gimmick for Pa and Ma and the 2-hour vonage talks with you and Mitzi among other things. Thanks for partly making it possible! Next year's holiday season I'm sure would be even bigger and better. *wink* :D

    HI PAZ, JO and DENDEN!
    Happy New Year to you and your family as well! More blessings to all! :) Keep warm!

    Den, naaliw ako. They really look fab together. Diether and Kristine are so maputi, talagang mukhang artista kaya I didn't miss a bit of that chance. Zoom and click agad. Hehehe. I sound startruck no? :D

    The Year that was full of blessings (I could not count them with my fingers) from the Good Lord which I usually do not merit and deserve! And full of surprises as well--Junnie and you with Jerry and Jake's at our Life Testimony last July 17; May & Rommel's (with Zia) appearance at lunch in Cebu resto last December 23 until the 27th; and the novel experience of chatting with Junnie & Mitzi thru that wonderful gadget (local calls) with webcam.

    Wow, they make 2005 very unforgettable! Hope 2006 promises to be more exciting and full of more surprises!

    A great time, indeed, you and your family had during the holidays; the photo gallery says it all. Are things starting to get back to normal in your home now that christmas is over? Looking forward to the next blog. Hoping to meet you and Jerry during my visit this month.

    HI PAPARAZZI!
    As for 2006 presenting itself with more exciting and happy surprises, like what you always say, "I guarantee it!". :D The wonderful experience of having you all here in Cebu to celebrate the holidays with us is something we wouldn't tire of experiencing again. Gusto nyo sa Sinulog naman?

    HI ANNABANANA!
    Thankies!!! It was indeed happy chaos when we celebrated Christmas in Cebu. Kakatuwa.

    Thanks too for the lovely gift you sent all the way from Korea. It's now tucked between the pages of my Bible. :D

    HI MARIA!
    Yes things have gone back to normal but we are bracing ourselves again for the coming Sinulog. Hahaha! Hope to see you in Cebu. :)

    HI VANGIE!
    A lot of things happened so fast I'm glad I was able to take pictures of most of it. Though I'm a bit lazy to do some write-up, I'm the opposite when it comes to posting the pics online. Hehehe...

    HI JUSTICE!
    Happy New Year to you and your family as well! :D
