7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to our first time ever, company Christmas party, tomorrow my plans include laundry and party preps and Sunday, I want to finish our Christmas shopping! yey!

Christmas Gift

The little boy is quite overwhelmed with the toys that he saw when we went to SM Megamall’s Toy Kingdom last Tuesday. You could really see delight on the kids faces. They don’t want to go out of the store anymore when we were about to leave. Nicco was bugging me to buy him a toy gun and put up this Hunting pellet guns look alike toy without my knowledge on our shopping cart. He even tricked me by putting it up under those other items we bought. I only noticed it while I was browsing the receipt at home. He was all smile when I confronted him. Oh well, what can I do?! He’s very much enjoying his new toy.

The Prayer

Heavenly Father, keep our families together in love, in peace and in joy.

Let our parents, be patient with us. Let our parents, be patient with each other , aware that the success and happiness of each member of the family depend on their loving concern for all of us.

Let no thought of separation or divorce be a part of solution to any problem.

Give them the grace Lord to pray together as the family that prays together stays together.

Amen.

This is the prayer that Gabby willbe leading in the opening of the program. I even memorized it too. LOL. Was amazed at how fast she was able to memorized it. She was able to deliver it in no less than 30 mins. Kids really have keen memory. Noticed that the prayer is centered on the family, in line with the theme of NATIVITY.

The Cristmas Tree Test

We just all love the holidays and I love Christmas Tree!!! took up this test…


You Are Blissfully Content


During the holidays, you have a lot to be thankful for. And even if you are having a hard time, you do your best to express gratitude.

You are a glass half full type of person. You try to see life as a gift.

You believe that it’s important to stay positive and peaceful. Not just for your own mental health, but for also for the mental health of those around you.

The gift of optimism is the best thing you could possibly give. And you give it well.

Medical Supplies

Seven days to go and it will gonna be the big day for almost everyone in the world. The most celebrated day of the year, Christmas! I have been continuously reminding DH to watch out his diet. Being a diabetic, he needs to guard himself from sweets, which of course is very in demand food during the holidays. I told him to keep himself off those goodies or he’ll in up in hospital bed on holidays and I don’t want to be seeking some medical supplies on wee hours if ever. Health is wealth as they always say and very true indeed, it is one great gift that we ever received from the good Lord. Priceless!

Kids Day

We went to SM Megamall last Tuesday, December 15 to buy Gabby her costume for the Christmas program, She will be wearing a red blouse, skinny pants, rubber shoes and Santa’s hat with a dance number with some of classmates. Also, she will be leading the opening prayer for the program. As usual, kids where everywhere while we were at the mall, especially when we went inside the toy kingdom.

Getting An Online Degree

I remember how high spirited I am when I was still studying in high school, I always dream of becoming a good lawyer someday. My mom loves the idea too as my big brother is taking up law at that time. But as I entered my junior level in high school and our family encountered financial crisis then, I almost gave up and wanted to quit right there and then. I opted to stop schooling after I graduated from high school, but enrolled in college after a year. I helped my parents in our family business during that time. I am not a stand out student but I didn’t gave my parents a headache the entire four year course I took. But I was not able to fulfill my dream of becoming a lawyer… But I am happy that I was able to finish a college degree, being a working mom now, there was still this longing for me to get in to school again. I wanted to pursue and get an UOP online degree this time. I think this will fit a very busy mom like me since I will be able to allot this one, proper time management is the answer. There is no age for education, for as long as you wanted to learn.

15 Days To Go!

and it’s Christmas! obviously…lol!

DH’s bro-in-law have put already in our sala the CHRISTMAS VILLAGE, and the BELEN on our mini garden before the main door entrance. Oh well, I’m just not so in the holiday mood these past few days, it’s maybe because we haven’t receive our 13th mo. yet! ahaha. and the lists of my “To-Buy” is getting longer as days passed by… Hope the boss will give it altogether with our salary this coming Friday, or we have no choice but to wait till Friday next week. Even the plans of changing tiles for our kitchen was put off, we will just wait for extra available funds to process the renovation. As with the little girl, she was assigned to lead the opening prayer for their Christmas program and was given a paragraph of prayer to memorize. As of now, she was able to memorize two sentences already, hopefully she can deliver it easily on the 18th.

And as for her costume for the program, she will be needing:

  • Red Blouse
  • Skinny maong jeans
  • Santa hat
  • Rubber shoes

very easy to find right?! and most important, very affordable! ahaha. At first, I thought she will be portraying a role of an angel that’s why. hehe… Still got no idea what to give the kids, since their wish (A laptop toy for Gabby and Robot for Nicco) were already granted by my SIL and now in transit. Kids don’t know it yet… till the eve of the Christmas.

December 8: Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception 1

O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from thy sublime height turn upon thine eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full well thy power, I beseech Thee to extend to me thine assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee forever, my only desire being to love thy Divine Son, Jesus. Mary, none of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved. Amen.

Prayer to the Immaculate Conception 2

O God, Who by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin didst make ready a fitting habitation for Thy Son, we beseech Thee that Thou Who didst keep her clean from all stain by the precious death of the same Thy Son, foreseen by Thee, mayest grant unto us in like manner to be made clean through her intercession and so attain unto Thee. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
