The Only Present I Opened

This is the only present that was for me under the tree, the only present I opened yesterday from my manita on Facebook/Yardsale group. Thanks to her. I love it, the flavor scent is SUCH A FLIRT my second favorite scent for in a lotion or mist of Victoria's Secret. 

Receiving a present like this just makes me feel remembered although I got one major present from my husband days before Christmas but there is something with a surprised and wrapped present that made me excited to open. 

How about you guys, did you receive a lot of presents from your personal Santa yesterday? What sort of presents did you get?

Filipino-American Christmas Parties

I thought my Christmas was gonna be boring for we usually have Christmas in the USA with our family alone. Although there were some invitations from the past but the location itself is quite far from the house so I wasn't willing to have my husband drive us back and forth only to be at the party. Two Christmas parties I attended just this month and each party was a blast. The first party was in Watauga and we had an exchange gift. I am happy with what I got because it is exactly what I've been thinking to buy for our kitchen.

......shots of my little girl bringing the gift to me and opened it...this was last December 18 in Watauga the first party we went to...

........chadaaaaaaaaaaaa and here's what's in the box, a decorative candle holder, there's 2 of them actually which I so love!

........and the last photo is of me and my baby and Selina also a blogger..
Here are some photos of us on Christmas eve, a different group of Filipinas just three blocks away from our home...

Christmas Dinner With Close Friends

For a change we held our simple dinner for Christmas in our house. We usually go to Rose's place for gathering of any occasion but this time we decided to be here in our humble house. It was successful and I am thankful my 4th Christmas in America isn't as lonesome as the past Christmassses I had.

Thank you so much guys for making the Christmas celebration successful. Thanks also to my husband who patiently assembled our girl's toys today. Love you so much Lalabs and baby Jadyn! You complete me guys! I'm so happy to have my wonderful family and friends this very day!

Foods we prepared were spaghetti, macaroni salad, tinonoan nangka, sugar cookies, apple pie, dried squid and fish and steamed rice cake. Not much but enough to fill our stomach.

... our humble food, thankful for the grace that is served upon our table.

My Christmas Wish list

These are some of my wishes for Christmas. Needless to explain about these stuff eh. As a woman, I need to feel good and I loveeeeeeeee feminine stuff like handbags, boots, a new trendy coat from V.S and of course, sweet smelling perfume especially Estee Lauder/ Jessica Simpson's new fragrance. I wish Santa can see this wish list of mine and give me at least any of the following attached below!

... anyone can give me this exact style and color this Christmas will be rewarded by heaven above..hehe..kinsa kaha?
...this is soooooo sizzlin' hot cute handbag from Coach..been eying this for a long time.

This wristlet is so handy that I want to have one of this... pretty!!

I still have big space in my closet, so a pair of white boots will be enough to add to my old pairs.. Santa hear me please!!!!!


Last but not the least, perfumes as I mention above is what I long to have this Christmas also. A bottle of new scent wouldn't hurt if somebody will give me one haha.. wishful thinking lagi dayon.
