The CLSU Christmas Lights 2019


Have you read my Christmas Eve 2019 post? Sobrang late na I know but still these are all worth to share.

On Christmas day, we prepared food for lunch.




Aside from Daddy A's relatives, I am expecting my siblings to arrive din. We had lunch and long kwentuhan.


Before evening naman we decided to go to CLSU main gate to see its Christmas lights display. Since it's just a few steps away from Daddy A's house, we decided to just walk.


So here are the photos taken from CLSU main gate Christmas lights display.



This reminds me of my Singapore trip, 3 years ago na yata na hindi ko na naipost. Haha!


Who would have know I'll end up marrying my best friend?



And we will have this cuddly little boy.


Our little boy is unstoppable. He asked for more photos in front of CLSU Christmas Lights display.

Like father, like son.



Let's come inside CLSU na.

This is the CLSU Leaders Tree. It is one the oldest trees in the university. It is once a towering Acacia tree that had provided a lofty shed for those who passed by CLSU main gate. However, because it gets older, it had started to wither and grow weak. To preserve its significance and prevent the harm it might cause as the tree started to wane that some of its branches give way when it rained, it was decided that the tree be turned into a CLSU’s Golden Anniversary Marker on which were etched the faces of the University Presidents since the university’s humble beginnings up to the present and commemorate their contributions to the development and growth of CLSU.

I remember when we were still studying here, we will go in front of Admi (as we called it) and sit on the grass. While snacking on fishball, kwek-kwek, chips paired with Coke, kwentuhan lang kami hanggang sa dumilim na. Yun na yung sign na uwian na, hehe. Those simple life I missed, wala pa kasi cellphone noon kaya we can bond until maubusan na ng kwento.




Kakaaliw itong bahay kubo.


Nakita nyo yung pugad sa taas? Naalala ko tuloy si Tatay ko na may mga alagang native na manok na lagi naming kinukuhaan ng itlog pang umagahan. Simple life again that I missed so much.


Teka, may nagca-caroling pala.


At kasama pa si Bantay (the dog).


That's it pancit! Sabi syo it is worth sharing kahit medyo late na. Next naman is our New Year's Eve celebration ha. Balik kayo!

Our Lenten Week 2017


Hello dearies! How's your week so far? 

Days passed by so fast no? I have been waiting for that very long  break from work, the Lenten week, and it passed just like that. But I must say, this Lenten week was by far the most relaxed break I ever had since I had my work.

This is because we got a chance to rest and spend quiet time with our family. Especially with this little boy who's staying with his lolo and lola in Nueva Ecija. 


Look he missed me so much!


Our Lenten week was spent simply with the family just like what I have said. Daddy and I cooked for the family.


Simple food but it get special when family eats together.


On Good Friday, we tried to join the station of the cross. But since Matthew got sick the night before he said nahihilo daw sya so we just followed the track and went around CLSU instead. First stop is at Little Baguio.

Next stop was at Rizal Park.


And to this very familiar Church where I had my baptism, first communion and our wedding. The three of us prayed in silence.


There are so much memories here at CLSU, the place where I grew up. I will have a separate posts on this and will show you  more photos of my Alma Matter.

We also visited my Nanay, Uncle and Daddy's grandfather.



Then come Black Saturday, we planned for a family swimming but this little boy was still sick so just stayed at my in laws house.


When he felt better we went to Daddy A's Tita's house to celebrate his Uncle's birthday. Naku, Matthew saw the videoke and even he's sick, it didn't stop him from singing.


He had duet with his Ate Gwen too.


It's actually his first time to sing in a videoke pero hindi naman halata. He was very happy when he got 90 so ayan, he sang another one song pa.


Then on Easter Sunday, we went to the market to buy these fresh vegetables.


The hardest part of this vacation was when Daddy A and I needed to go back to Bulacan. We left Matthew again but we'll be back before our birthday. Hopefully, we can get him back to Bulacan. Oh by the way, we brought home this crystal jade pampaswerte from Daddy A's Tita.


As I said, this break from work recharged us physically and spiritually. We didn't went to different Churches but we spent quiet time reflecting and repenting. And I think that's the Lent is all about.

We are ready for more work right Daddy A? Haha!

How's your Lenten week?

A Weekend Spent at our Hometown

Daddy and I have been talking about going to our hometown. It's been 3 months since we last went home so we planned it last weekend. Actually at the last minute we cancelled the plan because of the hot weather. 

However, maybe the universe conspire so it will be favorable for us to go home. It rained that Saturday morning making Daddy to finally decide, yes we will go home. He asked permission so he can report earlier in their weekly meeting and after that we went home to fetch Matthew.

On our way home, Matthew called my in laws to inform them we will arrive. But they wouldn't believe our little boy because when they asked him where are we, he said different places. Haha!

Anyway, even if it rained earlier that morning, it was still hot so we asked Daddy if he can stop by at 7-Eleven to buy Slurpee. Unfortunately, the Slurpee machine was not working at the 7-Eleven branch that we stopped by. So we looked for another branch on our way home. We failed to find a store along the way but we were still lucky to passed by Mini Stop and Daddy bought sundae for us.
