Hello, welcome to my journal! This is a place for me to share a little of everything which people in general might just find helpful and informative. It helps to spread the word, you know. So, I hope you come by often and keep me company. Perhaps share your thoughts; indeed if you wish to opine, please feel free. Okay, thanks a bunch for stopping by, see you around!
I was blog hopping and discovered you! I really like your blog...Im going to add you as a friend, if you dont mind...Have a great weekend.
, on
Christmas Eve as like the many, I was pretty busy gift wrapping
, which everybody does in discreet, and I did, too
. I went upstairs leaving Tiana behind (the always with me girl), and locking the door, not taking any chances of her following me and possibly fall in the process
. She cried because she wanted to go upstairs with me, then went to tell her Daddy
on me...LOL
. I could hear her prancing around looking for me, checking if I was back yet being left to wonder what I must be doing up there
. When I finished, I made a mistake
with taking a few presents
with me downstairs. Tiana saw them and boy! The sight of the presents surely got her going
, jumping for joy, she kept running around and gazing upstairs as she probably was thinking ah...there has to be more up there. As I was wrapping gifts, I thought,
hmmm....I should just bring some downstairs and put them underneath the Christmas tree
already. What was I thinking? Ugh!
My husband said to me,
hey...those presents are supposed to have come from Santa Clause
. I want her to believe in Santa Claus as she’s just a child, to bring her presents on Christmas morning. I goofed it again
, spoiled the surprise just like last year, and years before but I really will try to do better. Tiana didn’t want to go sleep then
, and was crying for her presents to be opened, we kept saying "no", let’s wait till morning, and eventually she didn’t resist us and went to sleep
. Christmas morning
came soon enough, and Tiana was just ecstatic
, couldn’t wait to open her presents. I, myself kinda fell into the excitement with opening presents after all as my husband had told me that I have presents, too...LOL
. I guess he just couldn’t leave me out though I often remind him not to get any presents for me because I just don’t think it’s wise and necessary
, spending the money
. Having a heavy heart didn’t help either for me to get excited and enthusiastic about celebrating for the holidays
. I didn’t feel like getting up and decorate our house as to why our tree was decorated in the last minute
. Okay, here I’ll share how we liked our presents
. Tiana received lots of presents such as, Barbie karaoke stereo
, Barbie toys, different toys
, and a real cute acoustic guitar
. As for me, my husband gave me a few nice things as well like J.Lo Still fragrant set, a quite beautiful
make up set, make up brush set, and an ipod,
mp3-music player
. And for my husband, what I got for him, ah, a simple cologne set only it didn’t turn out to be for him but for me
. The cologne set I bought meant for my husband, was for a woman...LOL
, labeled "Charlie White" for a romantic and irresistible scent. It didn’t say or indicated that it was for women nor for men, so how was I supposed to know buying it, but only by guessing. It irked me...
, I don’t mind replacing my presents for him though since I’d have more time to look for what I want to give him, a much better one
. Later in the day, evening came
, we proceeded with having a nice usual ham dinner. With us, it’s always ham for Christmas,
turkey for Thanksgiving, barbeque pork ribs for the 4th of July
. And for the rest of the holidays and special occasions, well, we don’t worry, as we have the option to either go out to eat or cook at home some delicious foods we can find like steaks
, etc. Our Christmas day went okay despite of the little mis'hap giving my hubby a wrong Christmas gift and being a bit unprepared. We celebrated along with a friend Tom, my family back home in the Phines chatting with us on
YM-voice
chat
, and with my sistah Nora and her husband Roger-mah bro. in law in Illinois (they just went out to eat again)
. We drunk wines afterwards, but while I was chatting I was getting dizzy
-light headed
, I felt like my head was spinning
. I chatted and chatted until I sobbed
seeing my family on web-cam and remembering my uncle no longer with us, I just couldn't help my emotions sometimes...I break lose
. Anyway, if you want to see..."Our Christmas 2005"
photos
just help yourself to it. We had a quicky celebration, the table wasn't set up properly, house not cleaned up, and goes with everything else scattered all over the place-toys cluttering our living room, etc, so just excuse us for now
. I patched up our wallpaper where Tiana marked all over with a bunch of ball point pens
, I went over them with a brush
of paint, silly me
, stupid idea
. It was "dumb" according to my husband who also keeps saying...."duh"...
. Alright until next time, enjoy the photos
.
hi ana, thanks for sharing the pictures. it is good to know that your having a blast last christmas. it is really fun celebrating the season with love ones. but oh my when we also remember our family back in PI we also feel bad.
