Year 2011

Christmas is over and almost 24 hours more to go for New year!!! Yeheyyy!! one year is over again, time flies so fast. Well, my life this year had not changed from previous years, what only the difference was that i saw my hard work paid off because my daughter graduated college last April and got a work a week after graduation. She passed the board examination held last October. Actually, my daughter is intelligent and very responsible to her studies and her recent work. My only worries is if her lovelife having problem. I feel her sadness in her eyes and action. She couldn't sleep and cries at night. She didn't expected this because both looks inloved and we thought the guy will never let my daughter cry but he did. I can't help my daughter than just advising and comforting her. She's young and maybe he's not yet the right man for her. She's a successful engineer... soon, she'll meet the right guy along her way..hopefully. I pray to God that soon He may give her the right man for her to live with forever soon. My son is very secretive but there is no secret that won't come out specially about my son. I know he has already a girlfriend. He's inloved with a girl for the first time. I feel that he's happy. He date her girlfriend once in a while if they are free from their studies. I am so much happy for him. According to my daughter, my son met already the parents of her girlfriend at the girl's house. My son is a shy man but never expected that he was brave enough to go to the house of the girl and meet the girl's parents, that was when he was just still in the process of courting the girl. He's really sincere and very respectful. I really adore my son, the way he respect a girl and girl's parent he loved. I am sure he choosed a good girl he was looking for because what i know, my son is choosy. I was teasing him before (two years ago) that he must have a girlfriend right now just pick from one of his batch but he was telling me that no one of them made him lovable yet. I wish them good luck.
As usual, i spent the Christmas eve with my children. We had exchanged gift after eating a bonggang noche buena.
Me and my children agreed of what recipe to prepare for the New Year's Eve. I will prepare pot roast chicken with special gravy. This special request of my son. My daughter suggested spaghetti the way i used to cook for them. I used huge tomato in cans for the spaghette sauce. We don't passed New Year's Eve without our favorite Red Ribbon Cake and fruit salad.
I wish a happy and Prosperous new year for my family. May we have a happy and prosperous life, healthy free from sickness, out of danger all throughout the year 2012!. I'll also pray those people flooded in Mindanao that they can able to moved on as soon as possible.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!

Christmas Again...

Oh yeeh ...Thank to God it's Christmas time again! I feel great thinking how much God loves us because He sends his son Jesus to save our sin.
Traditionally we celebrate Christmas with so much expenses but it's fun. Expectedly, my pocket will be forced to be open out again for family christmas expenses. We use to shop for Christmas decorations, gifts for gift giving, clothes and food and etc, etc, etc... including long term plan like home improvement but this definitely can't be done again this year because my budget used for an unexpected expenses.. But it's alright, hoping next time very soon....

My neighbor's wallet snatched

My neighbor came to me yesterday. She's crying because her wallet snatched in LRT yesterday. They rode the train from Bambang Station to Pedro Gil Station. They were still on the train near to Pedro Gil Station when she noticed that her pocket is already lossen and found her wallet stolen already. She was with her big man son when 3 young adults women dressed nicely rounded them inside the train. She said she didn't felt anything but only noticed lately why those ladies so closed to her and his son unnecessarily specially when the train stops in every stations. She suspected and checked pocket but she found out her wallet with three thousand pesos gone. They just came from San Lazaro Hospital for the vaccination for anti rabies of her son. She spent 700 pesos each injection and the money left in her wallet is for electrict bill payment and fare only but unfortunately it was all gone. That is the only money she had. It was good her son has 100 pesos in his wallet so they can able to reach their relatives to owe money for their electric bill. Also yesterday, one house of a congressman in Wack Wack Village was robbed and money , jewelries and expensive belongings was sucked off. And last Sunday a Jewelry store inside Glorieta is also robbed. Those are only an iceberg of so many robbery and snatching stories happens everyday now here in Metro Manila specially now that Christmas is fast approaching. These is the time that Filipino people received their 13th month pays and bunoses and took immediately the chance to shop for Christmas decorations, Christmass gifts and other stuffs for Christmas. This is how Filipino traditionally celebrate Christmas to make this occasion happier and merrier and of course the spiritual is already within the heart of everyone but this anti -good people (i hate to say evil) do bad instead of peace but it is an opposite. But still hopeful that Jesus is still in the heart of so many people despite of some incidence of robbery , thefts, and calamities. God is so good.
