(dec 19) this is definitely one of the happiest days of my year!!!! the two most important men in my life are home!!!! the most important man, my brother, and the most important little man, my godson roco!! aaaah, happiness!!! i'm hardly on any sleep but we got up extra early this morning to pick them up at 530AM from the airport! went straight to breakfast at circles where surprisingly roco was so awake and just running around all over the place! yes, running as in he is not at all a baby anymore. he is super a little boy na! the cutest!!! rested for a bit in the condo they're staying in, then head for lunch at a place my brother has been craving for forever.. chicken inasal! hahaha! pag balikbayan talaga, pinoy comfort food and hanap. yummmm! spending quality time with them this christmas! PRICELESS. have an amazing sunday!

(dec 20) what a beautiful family!!!! :-) my brother, my godson, and my sister in law! i still can't believe they're here with us in manila in the flesh! sometimes i want to pinch myself because i cannot believe its really, really real! i'm just so, so happy they are home. :-) while they're in manila, i'm designated driver for them and designated yaya for rocotoy! we call him rocotoy because he really looks and acts like a wind up doll! so, so cute running all over the place! :-) because there's no food like pinoy comfort food, i brought them to one of the most awesome places for pigging out on pinoy food, kanin club!!!! oh wow. they died sa sarap. hahaha. as in my brother said after eating that he felt like he committed a sin sa pagka oa sa sarap! haha! after this they went for a manicure, head and scalp massage, and foot spa! yet another luxury that they don't have in the states because its too expensive, and so sinusulit nila dito! :-) haay roco is so cute. sorry, call me biased, but really, he is the joy of my life!!!! :-)

(dec 21) its another blessed day that the Lord has made and another blessed day for help kids learn project!!! this is probably the biggest gift giving to date of my little personal project.. we are giving gifts to a grand total of 800 kids! thank you Lord talaga for making this all possible! back story is.. when lino was thinking of running for barangay captain, I was already one of the first people who gave him a bit of advice, and also promised to help out in any way i can if and when he wins. come election day, majority of the voters in barangay fort voted for him, and tadaaaa! here we all are today, ang galing no? ate lani was a congresswoman the last time we did the gift giving back during my birthday, but now she is the mayor, and the projects continue! there's ate lani in the front part of the photo, me in pale pink by the middle, and if you look closely that's liz behind, half her face at least! i've been talking to liz about all the projects i do and i promised her i'd take her one time and this was perfect timing! plus my other friend dante came along! the next project hopefully will be a proper public school for barangay fort, because as of now, all 800 kids here go to other cities everyday just to go to school. there's so much help needed everywhere, really! we just gotta make an effort to look. big or small help, help is help, and it goes a long way. you reading this, please do try to help someone, somehow this christmas season.

(dec 25) merry christmas from roco!!! aaaaw.. I must say, this is one of my best, if not the best christmas day i've had in my life! we all woke up around 8AM, had breakfast buffet while roco played and ran around in the garden. we then went to the pier to ride a boat, only took around five minutes, and tadaaa! we were at a beautiful white sand beach where we were the only people in the shore! the sun was so hot, the breeze was so cool, the clouds were so fluffy, and the water was just perfectly cold! just me, my brother, roco, tracy, my mom! ang sarap sarap sarap! you see, a bit of trivia, my brother, tracy and i, all love the beach, as in LOVE. so you cannot imagine how much in bliss we are right now! and at one year, roco already loves the sun, sand and sea! he loves playing with his shovel and pail in the sand, he loveswading his tiny cute feet in the water, adoooorable! we are all sad my sister isn't here with us, if she were, it'd really be the perfect christmas. merry, merry christmas everyone!!! spread peace, love, and happiness!!!
