Happy New Year!

Only a few more minutes and 2009 is here!!

Looking back, this year has been a stepping stone to a new life for me. I won't go into details as to what those changes are but these changes made me somehow wiser and more mature in so many ways, and not to mention stronger.

This year was a bit scary for me. I had to make important decisions that could change the my life's course. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but in the end, I gained so much more. I'm not making any resolutions because I believe if I want to make positive changes, I don't have to make a list to help me keep track of them. I'll face those negative aspects in my life one at a time and pray to God that I won't go astray.

So now let me say goodbye to 2008 and welcome anything that's in store for me in 2009... Have a blessed new year everyone!

Two hours more to go and it's finally Christmas...


I haven't posted much this month. I just couldn't find the rights words, my mind has been a blank, have been so busy with work, had to straighten up a couple of things... excuses excuses excuses... oh well... This might be my last post for the year.. or not.. who knows... please bear with me. teehee... let me just share this shot I took... it's not much.. but I think it best depicts my Christmas this year. There's something different about this Christmas. I just couldn't figure it out... yet.

Happy Birthday Babzy

It's E.M.A.'s birthday today and as much as we want to spend this today together, time and circumstance just won't allow us. But I know someday, somehow, we won't have to spend days like this apart...

Turning 24

The sun finally came out! Perfect timing 'cause it's a special day for yours truly (the title's so obvious.. hehehe). I received a lot of greetings from friends and family, at the start of my day. I'm glad someone still remembers this day(?). It seems the older we get, the less we think about our special days.

Anyway, I'm glad it didn't rain today so we were able to make chicken barbecue (thank God for the sunny weather). A birthday won't be a birthday if there's no chicken (my mother always jokingly says). I chose to make spaghetti as I was craving for some these past few days (note: NO I'm not pregnant!). This was my planned menu for today. That and my fruit cocktail, but lo and behold!, my mother secretly ordered my favorite seafood dish, Steamed Fish with Thousand Island dressings, and it was huge! It was about 2 kilos.. hmmm.. yum! yum!


Let me just post some pics so I can show off (give me a chance, it's my day..heheheh....)

This my birthday feast...

Dessert anyone..? (this is good for the blood sugar.. hahahah)

This is what I enjoy about birthdays, the foooooooood.. I have a good excuse for pigging out for one day, right? Right! AND I got to celebrate it with my family and friends....

That's Lurchelle and Ibby Wibby

I enjoyed my day. And... oh my brother gave me something too.... a Kingston 4.0GB USB..


I was always borrowing his, so he gave me one instead. heheh I don't know what I'm gonna to with this 'cause usually I'm at home, but I still love it.. hehehe Thanx bro!

Every birthday I wait for 10:45 pm to come to greet myself a happy birthday and to offer a little prayer. My mom told me that was the exact time I was born, so it's a somewhat special moment for me. But tonight was different. E.M.A. offered to stay-up with me so he can greet me too. He just had a very long day at work, yet even if he's in a lot of stress today (and wants to crash into a slumber), he still choses to wait with me. We spent the whole night on the phone (we're using Sun Cellular so calls are unlimited..) while waiting for 10:45 to come. It's so nice to think how he can be so sweet sometimes without even knowing it.. hehhe *blush* so cute...

So... my day started great, the food was delicious, and the company was awesome! And the one thing I like about it the most is I got to end it with someone I love... mmmmwaaahhh!!!

Now it's time for me to catch some snooze.. Thank you all for making my day... Goodnight everyone!

12 Days of Christmas

Ever wonder what's the meaning behind the song "12 Days of Christmas." I found this months ago while browsing through the net out of boredom from work (hehehe shhhhh...). I though I'll just post it here just because its Christmas.. hehe oh and I chose this version of Alvin and the Chipmunks 'cause their so cute and I can't wait to see their movie...




The song goes, "On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…"

The "true love" mentioned in the song doesn’t refer to an earthly suitor, but it refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person.

1st Day: The partridge in a pear tree is Christ Jesus upon the Cross. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge because she would feign injury to decoy a predator away from her nestlings. She was even willing to die for them. The tree is the symbol of the fall of the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve. It is also the symbol of its redemption by Jesus Christ on the tree of the Cross.



2nd Day: The "two turtle doves" refers to the Old and New Testaments.



3rd Day: The "three French hens" stand for faith, hope and love — the three gifts of the Spirit that abide (1 Corinthians 13).

4th Day: The "four calling birds" refers to the four evangelists who wrote the Gospels—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John—which sing the song of salvation through Jesus Christ.

5th Day: The "five golden rings" represents the first five books of the Bible, also called the Jewish Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.



6th Day: The "six geese a-laying" is the six days of creation.

7th Day: The "seven swans a-swimming" refers to the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.



8th Day: The "eight maids a milking " reminded children of the eight beatitudes listed in the Sermon on the Mount.

9th Day: The "nine ladies dancing" were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

10th Day: The "ten lords a-leaping" represents the Ten Commandments.



11th Day: The "eleven pipers piping" refers to the eleven faithful apostles.



12th Day: The "twelve drummers drumming" were the twelve points of belief expressed in the Apostles’ Creed: belief in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, made man, crucified, died and arose on the third day, that he sits at the right hand of the father and will come again, the resurrection of the dead and life everlasting.

We celebrate Christmas not only for the gifts, the food, and all the merry-making with our families and friends, we celebrate Christmas to remind us of Jesus and his teachings and all the blessing we recieved from God all throughout the year and the years to come. :) Merry Christmas everyone!!
