Not so Merry Christmas

My dsl is acting up again because of the recent Taiwan quake. I haven't been able to blog for a loooong time so I'll just write a quick summary of what happened for the past few weeks.

Dahil lahat ng blog may picture ng krispy kreme doughnut, ako din meron:


packaging and logo: super cool!
taste: nothing spectacular (or maybe i'm just not that hungry when i tried them)

Poker night with the bride-to-be.


December pictures of sandy:

and of course, her latest outfit from zara

(siempre may tag pa hehe)

Christmas was disappointing. Last year Sandy was still too small to "participate" so I promised her that next Christmas will be super fun. I will dress her up as santa, put up christmas stockings, visit her ninongs and ninangs, go out of town and buy her lots of small trinkets that she can open. None of them happened though. We were just so busy and so stressed that christmas passed by in a blur.

Food was great though. Finally had my much-awaited glass of wine and we tried to forget for the meantime that Sandy has a sensitive tummy. We gave her a taste of whatever we're eating. Nothing bad happened to her and I'm so hoping that her dairy-allergy is really gone.

Here's our christmas dinner.


Some pictures with Sherwin's relatives.


At my parents house.


My niece Gabby with our gift. She's all grown up now.


New year was so-so as well. Watched some fireworks from the terrace with Sherwin and Sandy. She said wow at one time after hearing mommy say it for the nth time.

I don't want to sound whiny but I miss my christmas traditions when I was still a kid. I want Sandy to have the same experience so she'll have something to look forward to every year. I know this isn't what Christmas is all about but I still feel bad. I'll just have to make sure that next year's gonna be a blast and that I won't break my promise this time.

haaay, i know how you feel... parang ibang-iba na ang Christmas these days compared nung we were kids. Parang gusto ko din talga ibalik ang traditions na nakalakihan ko.
