Weekend Highlights

Last week, I posted how bummed I was for having to go to work for the first three Saturdays of January. Luckily, though, last weekend made up for the time I had to go to work and kind of humiliate myself in front of 400 people.

1. Good company.

My support system. 

Studying.Sleeping. Chillaxing.

DJ was kind enough to accept my invitation to go with me to work. I thought it would be a nice environment for him to study for his exams this week. We brought two of our  friends along with us, Cha and Charles. All of them have been a great support and did a pretty good job in calming me down 'coz I was really nervous for my presentation then. I wouldn't have known how to handle it if I was alone.

2. Cupcakes by Sonja

Cupcakes galore.

This made me a very happy girl. DJ and I are huge fans of Cupcakes by Sonja in Serendra! Having to snack on a Red Velvet cupcake last Saturday is just heaven. It was like Christmas in my mouth!!!

3. Ready for Rain

Wet feet no more.

 

I am finally a proud owner of a pair of Plueys rain boots. DJ got it for me as a Christmas gift.  I've always wanted one since the barrage of typhoons that hit the country last year. Don't you just hate the feeling when your feet are wet?! Eek. I can't wait to wear them and say, "Look, ma! Dry feet!"

4. Quality Time
I love how DJ always makes it a point to make time for us despite how extremely busy and grueling a med student's life can be. He made my weekend extra fun and special. But then again, he always does. He is amazing.

5. Family Time
This is very rare in our household. Yesterday, though, my dad bought this dvd/karaoke player and it totally brought everyone together. Each of us at home rummaged the song book for a song and took turns with the microphone. It was great to see everyone enjoy. Especially someone who's currently healing from a nasty Christmas Eve break-up. 

Crushed

:(

I needed a beach getaway.

I needed to go to my happy place. 

And I was so close to doing so when all of a sudden I was called to this meeting only to find out that I have  to go to work for the first three Saturdays of January. Including the very Saturday i was supposed to hit the beach. FML. 

Merry Christmas!

Wishing you and your family a very happy

and blessed Christmas this year!

Here's a photo of my dog Lily. I took this right before Christmas lunch. It's her first Christmas with the family and we all wanted it to be special for her since she's been such a darling to all of us. I found this photo of her so nice I used it as an e-card and sent it to my family and friends.

Hoping all your wishes and prayers this Christmas were granted. Mine was and my heart is full of endless gratitude to the Lord Almighty. =)

Enjoy the super long break, everyone! Happy holidays!

The Night the Sky Smiled Down Us

December 1, 2008

Beautiful.

That's Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon smiling down on us.

The sky is just so clear.

I couldn't help but smile back at them.
