A LIFE THAT IS VERY COLORFUL IN NATURE
Last Thursday night, we went out to see some Christmas lights in our neighborhood and downtown Denver.
It was a cold night but we're all bundled up. We had so much fun walking in the 16th Street Mall. We rode the Caleza/Tartanilya with Santa Claus as our Cuchero/driver.
Two days ago, we had an instant dinner in our humble home. 'Yon bang hapunan na pangkaraniwan lamang o sabihin nating pampamilya lang. We had Humbang Baboy, ginisang bitter Melon, Longganisa, Paksiw na Tilapia at ang walang sawang tuyo.
Meron din akong maraming bring house from Kyle's birthday na hindi ko pa nabuksan kaya iniinit din namin kasi ang sarap naman, gaya ng Chicken curry, kari-kari, kaldereta, dinuguan, ginisang monggos at pansit.
Sa totoo lang, grabe talaga ang kasayahan na aming naramdaman bilang magkaibigan. Ang katuwaan at tawanan ay hindi mapantayan at hindi pwedeng maipagbili. Napakaraming nakakatawang kwento in fairness. Kaya tuloy puro hangin ang napasok sa system ko instead na pagkain dahil sa non-stop na tawanan.
Pagkatapos ng aming munting hapunan, tuloy-tuloy ang kasiyahan sa awitan at sayawan. Mababaw lang talaga ang aming hangad sa buhay which is ang maging masaya.
It was held last Sunday in their home sweet home. Great party, fun and hilarious jokes from Filipina Friends.
Kids were having a blast playing and laughing and so with little Kyle. This little boy was born on December last year. I can say, his birthday falls in a very bonggalicious day since it's the birth of our Jesus Christ.
The parent just held his birthday party as early as possible because of so many parties here and there for the holidays.
This coming Saturday, they agreed that the group will have a dinner at Rodizio's Brazilian Restaurant in downtown Denver. Too bad, I can't go with them since I already made a commitment to one.
The sands flow through the narrow neck of the hourglass and time passes so quicky. This has been a very busy year for our home, what with working and maintaining the household and the added irritation of doctors and hospital visits. Now as we stand on the threshold of "2010", the future appears uncertain, and yet all we can do is march on with faith that right will see us through to a better tomorrow.
2009 had its challenges that's for sure, but we got here to December in one piece. The good news is Rich colon cancer was an early detection and he's cancer free now by the grace of God.All He needs to do is to change his lifestyle in a way that he won't ruin his health. My FIL is slowly recovering from his supposedly untimely death. Ma and Pa just bought their plane ticket to go home in our home sweet home. Wish I can go with them but I have my own family to attend to. Our Angelina is in the Pre-K class and is actively learning every day of her life. I'm still working part time, 24 hours a week and enjoying half of my career..lol! Our family back home are working hard on their own to meet life's needs and happy to receive our presents for them this Christmas. God is really great of what He bestowed upon me and my family. What an awesome God!
Hubby and I both want to take this opportunity to say that our prayer for you and your home in the coming year is this:
"THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH"
Have Health Enough to Make Work a Pleasure
Have Wealth Enough to Support your Needs
Have Hope Enough to Remove all Fears of the future
Have Faith Enough to Make Real the Things of God, and
Have Love Enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others.
AND NOW, MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND BLESS YOU KINDLY
GODS SPEED, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Monkeys are one of the wisest animals on earth. There are different kind of species walking all over. They can be in the lowland or the upland waiting for the human race to attack but they are always prepared in a gentle and loving way.
Cheers!
I like to be around with friends, it's just being me. It's not just the food but it's the whole concept. We need someone to talk to and share the good and bad times of our lives.
Those laughter and tears...what a great fellowship! That's how we care for each other.
On the other hand, get together is not complete without food in the table. It's part of the fun specially the parting time where bring house is the tradition.
Anyway, I have some pictures here that I am attached to these people ever since I move here in the foreign land. I'm so thankful from Above for putting them into my life. Cheers and God Bless us ALL!
Fellowship with friends is a blessing! Dinner every now and then is great!
Teamwork is all we need..through the years!
Singing is our favorite past time...that's what friends are for
Outing with friends is a great fellowship
We shared something in common...friends...
Hiking with friends and sharing our life together...our common denaminator - think positive and moving forward!
Every year we have a Christmas lighting in the City where we belong. Santa will do the lighting and arrives in a dramatic way riding in a Fire Truck with the noise of the sirenes.
While Santa is doing his job, Northland Chorale will sing some Christmas carols around the giant evergreen tree that Sant lights up.
After the tree lighting, everyone has to come in door so Santa can fulfill the kids Christmas wishes.
There was a long line for every kids that wants to whisper of the things they want for Christmas.
Our Angelina was so excited lining up and ready to make a wish. She didn't write it down because according to her, there's only one thing she likes.
"I will just put it in my brain ang whisper to Santa when it's my turn," her say.
She did tell Santa and she is so excited about Santa's reply..." I will come via your Chimney before Christmas so I can bring your presents. Your wish will be granted on Chirstmas day and I'm sure when you wakes up you can have it."
As soon as we arrived home, Angelina spread the great news to her Dada that Santa will come at night.
Anyway, the following morning, Angelina woke up and asked if it's Christmas day, went to our Christmas tree and look for Santa's presents...oh my!
Imagine, theres' only 19 more days left until Christmas and we're having this ordeal about Christmas presents with Santa....
We showed Angelina our calendar and point to her the Christmas day. Now she keeps counting the days in her tiny calendar.
I think everyone in our household are excited for the Chritsmas day!
Happy Christmas, Everyone!
I went out with friends last Saturday for a dinner date. Her place is just across Bondocks so, it's not too far from where I live and so with our other three gangs.
We cooked one Tinapang Bangus (smoked milkfish), fresh Tilapia and Samon.
A friend brought some rice noodles and I had with me the paksiw na Turkey. It was a small get together but great conversation and laughter.
It is said that marriages are made in heaven and celebrated on earth. The popular belief is true to many extent, because it is a special bond shared between two souls, who tie the wedding knot after promising to be companions for a lifetime. It is the physical, mental and spiritual unison of two souls. It brings significant stability and substance to human relationships, which is otherwise incomplete. It plays a crucial role in transferring the culture and civilization from one generation to the other, so that the human race is prospered. The institution of marriage is beneficial to the society as a whole, because it is the foundation of the family, which in turn is the fundamental building block of the society.
The key to successful marriage is love, understanding, mutual respect, trust, commitment and togetherness. While many couples are able to find all the key ingredients in their marital relationships, others find one element or more lacking in their bond. This gives rise to consequences that are not always expected, or desired. This is a reason why a number of couples face adverse consequences, like divorce. One of the visible reasons why married couples find marriage as an intimidating bond is that they face a number of problems, while being in the relationship. Lack of trust, mutual respect, love and understanding contribute to the deterioration of the bond.
