Best Christmas Cards Ever!!!

What a way to start my 2012 being remembered by old friends and family back home in the Philippines. I got these cards from the mail today,I guess coming from home you expect cards to arrive late. But It does not matter when I got it, what is important is the thoughts that came with it. Best Christmas card ever! This one is from my Mom, It made me cry too much, I can't breath. I need to drink a glass of water after reading it. I miss my mom so much, I wish she she lives next door cause I could need a hug. What motherhood taught me was being thankful I still have my mom around and that I regret every bad things I did when I was young that made her cry. I love her so much, and my Dad and I miss my siblings too. Yes Mom, It'll get better in time!

This next card came as a total surprise. Shout out to my dear "Chinito Tsinelas" who was my co-anchor/road manager/friend during my radio days...love you gor and yes I was surprised! Thanks kapatid and so are the gorgeous/good looking friends who took time to write a message for me. So thoughtful of you guys!!! ♥ luvettt!!! ♥

To the gorgeous sister I have Joel, Bianca,Tootsie,Jommel and Jolenz. Thanks everyone! I cried when I got your card too. Made me miss home sooo bad! I'll see you when I see you girls!

Shout out too to all my girlfriends here in Cali who sent their Christmas Cards, lovely cards...Thank you so much! You all made my 2011 so memorable that I have too much to look forward to this year when it comes to FRIENDSHIP. Have a happy 2012 everyone!

Fantasy of lights

We've been going here since 2005 but put off the last two years from some unknown reason I really can't remember . Last night we came after the rush so there will be no line waiting to get in and glad we did cause we were able to take our time. It was fun, fun for the three brats most of all I guess that is what's important. My eldest keeps screaming " This is the happiest night ever!" and my two year old was the happiest cause it's her very first time.

For $15 entrance fee I admit my expectations were a little too high. I thought there will be new lights display, but it's all the same so again I'm glad we put off the last two years so it was all totally new to the girls. Sort of. Then what bugs me the most is that the display is littered with sponsors billboard. I see more ads than lights lol! I think the revenue from the advertisement is not enough so they up the fee to $15 this year. It should be free. Aside from those and little things like, the car behind us forgot to turn his headlights off, staff forgot to hand us the 3d glasses my kids are expecting and the candy cane too in the end, we had fun. Our girls had fun, I hope!
