Christmas went by just like an ordinary day, no fancy celebrations, no street parties, no fireworks, etc..
Tata, my hubby, and I decided to put a little food on the table for Noche Buena in celebration with the birthday of Jesus Christ plus thanksgiving for the blessings we received this year, big and small..
Another year is coming to an end.. Hence, the countdown to New Year begins after Christmas..
Here are a few blessings this year that made a big impact in my life..
First and foremost, we transferred to our new home after the automated May elections, which was a first in the Philippines.. Anyway, our home is not big yet cozy and we couldn't thank God enough for making our little home happy..
Tata doesn't get too much mood swings after we transferred and that is one thing I'm thankful for.. not to mention, our family being healthy always.. Sure we had minor ailments but nothing major, so, thank you God for that..
And luckily, we have neat neighbors and I can say that our neighborhood is sort of quiet but we see a lot of friendly faces around the subdivision..
Our little home is facing east, I sure hope the moon and stars will bring us luck in that position, although I don't really believe in them, plus we get a lot of gentle breeze.. :)
My kids has finally received the body of Jesus Christ, their first communion, last November.. and I am one proud momma as I watch them, together with the other parents, all throughout the ceremony..
My kids are growing up so fast and I hope I can catch up with them even if it meant that I go breathless.. :)
Nevertheless, they never fail to make me happy eventhough at times, my patience with them is over the edge already..
I thank God, most of all, for giving me patience eventhough it's literally, stretched already..
We had our share of fun also this year.. I travelled twice..
First one was in February, as it was a gift from Uncle Boy, my Boss..
The trip was for free, for the whole family, from the tickets, to the accommodation which was at their Condo unit at Greenbelt and, not to forget, the pocket money..
The second out of town trip I had was with mom and my siblings.. We went to Hongkong for a vacay, children-less.. That was one vacation where I get to relax, being away from work for a week plus the priceless alone time with my family.. and it was splendid.. yet, it would have been more perfect if Dad was there.. :(
My youngest son is now going to school, his first year this year..
and I'm sooo proud of him, that eventhough how crooked his handwriting is, it never fails to make me smile, from ear to ear, when he shows me his patience in learning to do the things I tell him to do..
Although at times, he runs out of patience to do school stuff and even if he makes a canvass out of our wall sometimes, he still finds time to impress me with his grades in school.. and, I got one smart kid in addition to the two..
More often than not, I get financial constraints since we had a lot of bills to pay now: home mortgage, electricity, water, tuition fee, groceries, etc.. but yet again, the Big Guy up there has blessed our small family with good things, if there are bad, lessons to learn from..
now, What more can I ask for?
