Celebrating Christmas 2020

December 25, 2020 / Filed Under: Christmas, family

Christmas this year is a whole lot different from our past Christmases. We usually spend Noche Buena and Christmas Day with lots of food and either with my side of the family — that’s my sis who calls herself Anney, cousins, nieces, nephews — OR with peanutbutter♥‘s side of the family — mama Lucy, papa Sony, Ate Arlene and family, and the rest of the Adarne clan.

This year because of the pandemic, we celebrated it here at home — just us 4 — peanutbutter♥, Ykaie, Twinkle, and me.

To tell you honestly, I wasn’t that excited when the season started. I felt sad and didn’t feel all Christmassy and celebrating but because of twinkle, I put up some Christmas decorations kasi excited sya eh. Our Christmas tree isn’t even in full gear because I didn’t feel like going to Dapitan Arcade (nor ordering through Shopee) to buy Chrsitmas decors. Pero sabi nga nila …Tuloy na tuloy pa rin ang Pasko…. and I got the Christmas spirit halfway through the season. I even finished attending Simbang Gabi — even if it’s online only.

Our Noche Buena

I initially wanted a nice Christmas table setting and started planning our menu of salmon, pasta .. and another thing (na hindi ko pa alam kung ano). Then the family said they wanted hotpot.

Good thing I always have some of the ingredients ready like the laksa paste, chicken broth soup concentrate, cheese stuffed squid balls and other balls, and glass noodles vermicelli. I bought meat and mushrooms na lang from the Korean grocery and fresh veggies from the market.

Syempre bawal sa akin ang spicy food at the moment — huhuhu so I wasn’t able to eat laksa but I enjoyed the one with the Chicken soup base.

Online Noche Buena na lang kami with mamaLucy and papa Sony

MALIGAYANG PASKO MULA SA AMING PAMILYA!
Nawa’y matupad ang kahilingan ng bawat isa sa atin at ang lahat ay mapuno ng kaligayahan at kapayapaan. Sana sa susunod na taon, tayo’y sama-sama ng nagce-celebrate ng Pasko.

Twinkle’s Christmas Party 2019

December 27, 2019 / Filed Under: Christmas, school, school activity, Twinkle

Now that one of the festivities is over and I’ve had a bit of rest the past few days, keri na to share what happened the past few weeks. Let’s start with Twinkle’s Christmas Party…

To be honest, I can’t remember Twinkle’s Christmas party at Angel Beats Play and Development Party last year. I know there must be one but I don’t think we were able to attend it. Anyhoo, this year, their Christmas party was at the lobby of SM Sangandaan.

It was a big party because all students were present — as were all the parents. I initially thought we were included in the party but it was only the kids who were allowed inside the area. They were asked to bring something worth P300 for the exchange gift and they numbered it randomly so the students doesn’t get their own gifts but due to the number of students, syempre nagkagulo na later and they just gave out the gifts randomly.

What surprised me was the kids has a dance performance pala onstage! Good thing I was able to capture it on video.

Kamusta na ang December nyo, mommies?
