For the Love of Food!

This post will make you hungry!

I have been to a PERYA in the Philippines:

My 1st US Christmas

Christmas really is a big event. It brings people together.

It's my 1st Christmas in the US and my in-laws are so nice to me that they celebrated the midnight Philippines' Christmas with my family thru Skype. We watched them open gifts and stuff, we saw eat the feast and they even gave me, and Llyr gifts open with them. :)


Everyone's camera shy xD
I got a selfie stick so I took photos with my sister who was on the big screen Skype.

The next day which was the 25th, we had our Christmas morning, and my family saw that thru Skype too! We opened family gifts and ate breakfast together. I got lots of gifts, it was unbelievable that there were only 6 people gifting each other, okay 6 and a half (Llyr)

In the afternoon, we got together with my father-in-law's side of the family and had a big Christmas party. People played table-top games and board games, and lots of food since it was a really late lunch potluck.

My husband and I made some desserts.

I think they liked it. I think xD

After eating came the opening of presents! But I wasn't able to take photos of that.. :( Next year I'll do better (when I'm prepared haha). The only thing I wish we did was play team/group games with everyone and karaoke like in the Philippines. All in all it was a fun day!

I've had 3 Christmases so far, and I will have the 4th one on Sunday! Yay, Christmas!

Credits to Stacy for this picture. We forgot to take a family photo with the huge tree in the Sanctuary.

I hope you're having a blast with your Christmas holiday!!

God is really good.

Now, we have a week before the New Years, and people are already asking me what I want for my birthday.

It was already really hard thinking of what I wanted for Christmas haha.

I got most of what I wanted, and more.

There really are things I want to have, but they're not really practical stuff?

It's so hard to give a wish list because I feel I should worry about the person spending too much on me.

Hahaha.

In a week it'll be 2016.

A days after that I will turn... secret for now. xD

8 Days to go!

OMG. The wait is so long x.x
I'm really excited for Christmas!

My baby turned 15 months yesterday, and it was an awesome day.
This blog though is not really about that. That was just something I had to cram in the post xD

I'm in a new world, and the way they celebrate Christmas is different from my home country. I will miss our kind of party, so much. I am already missing lots of things, but this is a huge thing. Christmas has always been the most fun family thing. (´д⊂)

Anyway this is not meant to be a sad post. I want to show off my Christmas decoration a bit. ＾∇＾）

First off, the outside of the door:





Then the inside of the door:

Don't you love my stars? ♥

Here's the door way to the kitchen:

Can you spot the mistletoe?

Now here's the door decor to our bedroom:


My second favorite is the bookshelf:

♥♥♥

My favorite is our Christmas tree:

♥♥♥♥♥♥

And oh, I also want to show off my in-law's tree!


Our Christmas trees are REAL, they smell so good, it's awesome! Check here when we bought it.

Don't you just love the festive decors for Christmas? Mine's mostly paper and origami since I don't have work and money to get them... for now. (*´▽｀*) Love how many things you can make with paper, glue, and a pair of scissors!

And in other news, someone passed the permit test today! Thank you Jesus!

Hurr hurr hurr. 

1st try failed, but passed the 2nd try! 

Hurrah for not getting disowned!
