Christmas Thank YOU's...

{Note: Apologies if some of the "thank you's" are late (from receipt of gifts). You were not forgotten nor deliberately unacknowledged, as most of you know, that being in the Philippines entail more than the 24 hours allocated by nature, and without any internet connection in my own house,and my iphone does not work with my globe sim/kay libre ra baya ni sa akong UK phone provider, so its obviously locked up with them/, i am left with no devices of commmunicating my thanks...

My globe phone too has NOT been able to send text until yesterday (26th of dec), thanks to karla, she deposited my phone to the powers that be at GLobe, and had it sorted out, so as of yesterday late afternoon, i could finally text.they said it was due to the roaming services not turned off yet..}

I received so many gifts from Santa Claus this year=)

I am so blessed that although with the love, care and friendship i get from these people, i am also spoilt with material gifts..

Thank you to:

First off. the supergirls:

-Therese, Ayen,Fil, and Lynette for the beautiful christmas cakes..I was in Plantation Bay when i received it. I gt to see the cake on christmas eve, and had 1 sinful cup. Kusina Habana makes delicious and pretty cakes, and they deliver too..Plus these ladies, theyre so far away yet they never let us feel forgotten. SO generous and beautiful souls...So inspirational.

-Kaith- for a beautiful handbag. It looked like the Ana Sui bag i wanted to covet in Hongkong airport, and that cute silk eyepatches. How beautiful and pretty just like the giver. Whenever i see the bag hung up in my closet, i smile coz it reminds me so much of you, you who dance with alot of fun and sways to Spice girl music to such gusto,LOL. Thank you Kaith.

-Patricia- for such a creative and beautiful bookmark. I so love it. The colours and the damask (regency opulance) design is so me. You know how i treasure creative presents such as that=)To be pregnant and still have the energy to delve in creative endeavours such as those, i really am impressed Patricia. as I have said before, and i will say it again, "youre so cool!!!".


-Mimi- for such a happy and colorful necklace. It was such a wonderful surprise from you..I did not expect anything because i know you are still hurting from your dad's passing. Its a testament t your generosity that even at a time that youre supposed to be thinking of yourself, you never fail to think of your friends. Thank you Mims.

-Aileen- for giving me such well thought of surprises. A book (that everyone is in line to borrow from me and begging me to finish it so they could start reading), and that luggage tag(so timely as mine went kaput in HK airport), and my SLR necklace. gosh, i am scared to wear it lest someone scratches it or it get caught on surfaces (which happiness to me alot).I already lined up numerous outfits that will max out the impact of that necklace as that deserves a conversation of its own.


-Mai-mai- for my beautiful scarf/shawl. Not alot know that my colour is green. It suits my skin colour and tones down my personality (LOL). Plus OT's wear green, all the time,haha. Thank you for the wonderful evening at your party. I apologize for being late. It was a case of meeting (new) relatives from Butuan and Surigao (as a surprise to me and Adrian), never thinking that I have commitments prior to that.


Have i forgotten anyone? If i had, my apologies. I am slightly worse for wear, what with parties every single night, and different meet-ups with people everyday (i am not complaining though). December is a beautiful time to visit the Philippines for family celebrations an all, but not a very good time for 'rest'.



Secondly: my family:

-Karla- for the beautiful earrings and trinkets. You are my accessories fairy godmother. And oh, that diamond peel you have promised me..LOL.

-Joan- a box of couture cakes..yum!!! where could i order that?

-Auntie Libeth- for the freshly picked papaya from your backyard..can we have more please?LOL.Adrian and i love it. Nothing beats fresh papayas like that.

-Mama and Ana- for the massage treat that we have yet to claim..you are the best


-Rey and Arvy- for that gorgeous box of Cupcake Theory chocolate cake. It literally is melt-in-the-mouth goodness. When Rey came in bearing that pink box, my heart leapt, as i knew that was meant for the diabetic-cake-monster me! LOL..Thanks bro and sis! =)

I i wish it were christmas everyday...

Not for the pressies i get, but for the love and laugher i get to share with all these people. That is worth more than gold buillons in my opinion.
