Today, my friends we're at my place to have chitchat & have some pinoy foods. We gathered here tonight as one of my girl & her daughter we're leaving on sunday bound to Mla.
What a luck! Arrive Mla. on the 31st of December? Hmmm...a timing to celebrate the New Year in the Philippines with their whole family around them. Jealous man ko no?
Anyway, Rosalina, Choy, Day, Jenny, Tess, Lalaine,Vivian, Isabel & the lil lady Michelle hopefully enjoyed in my humble crib.
Dinner consist of: Sinigang, Palabok & Tiger shrimps w/ green & red capsicum for main course.
Welcome drink: Red orange juice, Nectar & orange juice free of choice if they want to mix a lil vodka.
Dessert: Fruit cocktail in skimmilk, choco rolls, choice of special finnish chocolates, dades & some healthy dried fruits dipped into light choco.
Just so simple but palatable tucker, though!
CHEERS!!!
I guess all of us were waiting to the final countdown to the NEW YEAR 2008!
Today, Dec. 27, 2007, it's 4 days, 4 hours 47 minutes and 45 seconds, to the new year, a time I'm writing this issue.
I was thinking who/what's the country who'll celebrate the new year first. I was really pretty sure that it is Fiji, Port Vila or Vanuatu Island who will be the first country who will first welcome yr 2008, but i was mistaken. Christmas Island??? where the ???? is that island? Well, this is somewhere downunder eh? They celebrate the NY at 10.00 am European time. The 2nd is an island in NZ, then NZ itself, 4th is Fiji & 5th is Australia who celebrate at 13 hrs.
Philippines celebrate at 16.00 hrs our time!!!

I hope the world celebrates PEACE on earth not just in word but indeed!
Yeah! Christmas Eve was over. All gifts were opened and all cooking's & baking's were over too.
What a relief that all this things are over. I was a bit of a lazy lady (host) this year as i undergo a chemical facial treatment that i don't really feel doing extra work this christmas.
Though this treatment isn't that complicated but i feel & look horrible. I didn't regret a bit doing this treatment during this season. Hopefully, on New Year's eve, i look normal.
It was soooo funny that my grandson, wondered how his "lola" look! He's been asking what was in my face, that it seems so plasty §:-)
TAKE A LOOK AT ME!!!
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED
AS THE WOMAN WHO SMILES
EVENTHOUGH HER HEART IS
BROKEN AND THE ONE WHO CAN ALWAYS
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAYS EVEN IF SHE
COULDN'T BRIGHTEN HER OWN...
Anyway, am just round the corner having my family gathered together and it's such a nice moments that kids were home. Although Christmas in Sweden isn't that we are keen what use to do in the Philippines, we adjusted and modified the Christmas here. Family who prays & gather stays together.
Just simple was my Christmas Eve then I went to bed w/ a sweet smile in my face.
Thanks Lord for having a such nice kids and giving us the good life and good health.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
2 ALL PEOPLE OUT THERE...
I wish PEACE, TRANQUILITY & good HEALTH to ALL this coming 2008.
Best wishes,
