Akong Unang Pasko sa Amerika(2005)
It’s 2:00 am and here I am still awake coz honey decided to clean the sala coz he just realized that he’s been so messy with his things scattered around and he can’t wait to do it in the morning..so here I am sitting on my desk browsing the net and looking at the pictures at friendster and reading some blogs since i can’t help him coz he knows best which to put where…he can do better without me..better not mess with the boss..hehe!since I can’t sleep yet coz he will be calling me from time to time, I decided to write my much delayed christmas blog…better late than never!
Christmas in America is a different experience for me after spending many christmases in the Philippines…I miss the carolers,the firecrackers,midnight mass,exchange of gifts and the partying till dawn.Anyway my first Christmas here wasn’t that bad for a first timer here coz I got more gifts…hehe!there in the Philippines it’s me who will be giving and giving but here it’s really giving and receiving…isn’t it fair enough?hahaha! well as we always say it’s better to give than to receive but now I realized that it’s also better to receive as we give..hahaha!amaw jud ko uy!
Before December started I already bought my little tree to have a christmas spirit in our little home…
Long before christmas day honey gave me my presents…
electric sewing machine and a specially made red gold necklace of my name with a cute diamond that accented the dot of my name.They’re very lovely and useful presents.In case I’ll get an amnesia i will be known because of my necklace..just have to wear it all the time..and my sewing machine I can make anything with it whenever I feel like it.I have to remember all the sewing tips from my practical arts teacher back in high school days.So far I did some hemming of my denim pants..so it saved me from paying others.I’m looking forward to make more things like curtains and such with my sewing machine.
On Christmas day at 10:00 am we went downstairs to open our gifts.His family gave me a beautiful necklace made of jade with a gold dragon engraving in it.It was beautiful and they say it’s for good luck and hope that it’s true since I need all the luck for the coming year..hehe
Honey got a gift certificate from REI coz he’s been dying to get a new winter hiking jacket.Abdul got a photo printer and a cannon camera from mom.We gave him some cd’s with his favorite songs of Eric Clapton.I gave mom a scarf and for Ishi a coin purse and a kitty pair of socks.All were happy to get presents from each other.
At night we went to ate Cynthia’s place for the party.I bought gifts for the girls and they also got gifts for me.I was surprised and pleased…hehehe!I made bam-i for everybody to share kay mao raman madali ug luto…ate Cynthia did most of the preparation as always!basta kaon gani kay kami na na!She bought rellenong bangus at Goldilocks..so tasty..honey loved it!We had a feast courtesy of the Cox family…it was fun coz all the honeys of the girls were there and met them at last…the most exciting part was the giving of gifts…Leah as always is the "clown" girl…she brought out the laughter of everybody in her natural way…
she’s showing off some of her comical skit..hehehe!
After the feast and the gift giving, our finale was the picture taking…as always it was such a goofy experience with d gang..all were picture crazy and now we’re with d boys too!
Too bad friendster won’t let me download more pics here…pls just look at the pics in my pasko2005 album…till then guys coz it seems that honey is done with his dawn cleaning..murag nag aurora kay kadlawn jud niya gihimo..paila lang sa katang-an..hehe!
