christmas gifts 2011

these are the gifts i received from Christmas. not much but still valued for the thoughtfulness that comes with it. i've received far too many kisses from my nephews and niece though. talk about sooo much slobber of saliva. yikes ^_^ 

Still the best Christmas gift ever is to be alive and experience life again, and to be able to celebrate Jesus' birth with my loved ones. happy holidays and i am soo looking forward to 2012. excited much. ^_^

personal gift to myself

i'm excited with this one. i've been bored with my hair for so long (been straight from ages).  and i told my luvz if curly hair would suit me. turns out that he prefers it long and straight so i surf the net for one trusted seller who sells curling wands. he bought it for me from sendagift (very accommodating seller)

cold day

did i mention i was sick last Christmas. and till now i'm suffering from cough and colds but not to severe anymore. anyway though i hate to leave the comfort of my bed and stuffies i really really really have to go outside and ship the items that was ordered from La Niña Fashion, my online shop via Multiply, my wonderful shoppers need it in time for the New Years Celebration. one was a polka dot corset and the other was a number of sponge bun maker. my babzy is somewhat on a deadline and cannot shipped the items for me. anyway i decided to wear this korean jacket i bought online (i am sooo inlove with green), and the new black flats that i've blogged about in my previous post.

yep, i'm a little weirded out by my legs pose

noche buena 2011 with my adoptive kids ;)

this is the second Christmas i am celebrating with my nephews. i planned to prepare some more festive noche buena but alas i got sick from my errands (12/23/11). im burning up with fever all through out the night. i patiently set the alarm every 4hours so i get to take my medicines continuously. i feel slightly well in the morning but still cannot overdo it or i may suffer from relapse. good thing for those fast food chains offering some set christmas meal, i only have to prepare a few dishes. here's how we made "salubung" of jesus christs' birth.

the kids choose kfcs' party package: good for 10 people. grabe pag guys talaga anlalakas kumain :D
