Merry December

All will agree that the 12th month of the year is the busiest because of the holidays and occasion we are all looking forward to- the Nativity of Jesus. Since it is the birthday of our Saviour,December is filled with parties,get-togethers and what-have-yous just so as to celebrate good and fun times with friends and loved ones.Inevitably,we may be weary and cranky from one affair to another.However, I would like to believe that the joy and pleasure of spending time with people we value prevails in the end. I also want to hold to my faith that the most important reason of the endless celebrations is to honor and ennoble the BIRTHDAY of Jesus.

On a more candid note,it is also an excuse to dress up,curl hair and sing unabashedly.:)

1. College of Nursing Faculty Party at Partyland Restaurant: Dec 17,2011

I would like to thank my level IV students for my hair and make-up. They were excitedly finding the right look and style for me.:)

I was impressed with the result.On the night before this party, I only had a few hours of sleep because of a Tagaytay trip.My eyes were obviously tired and I did not have the drive to dress up.Luckily,again,my sweet students were there to offer instant help.Yeyy!!

Two men in our department I like,Sir Manny & Harry. Wishing them a world of romantic love and lust.Kidding!!:)

Good thing,I kept this Christmas headband from last year's family party.Cute one,right??

Harry,KC and Romeo- Di lang sila gwapo,intelligent pa!! One student commented "The Masters of Med-Surg.":)

These "faces" were used as props of our colleagues for their special dance number. They're so cute and fantastic, we used them as backdrop for pictorials.:)

My CON  family obviously love to party and bond with lotsa fun and laughter plus well-planned productions.

I am happy to have Ate Ana and Harry with me in the department.Work life is better with them.

And I really enjoyed my curls.:)

4. Random Get-togethers with Friends

Mitzi,Kitz,Bhanie

 This was taken on December 26,when Kristine,on a holiday break meticulously prepared cold soba and other Japanese dishes for us. I'll write another blog for that.For now all I can say is,lahat masarap.

 As expected,a dinner night turned out as drinking session again with ice-cold beer,mojito and tequila waiting for their turn to be served. I had 3 shots of tequila here to combat the cold weather.:) Effective it is.:)

Teach us how to dougie!!!:)

5. @ Greenbelt,Makati,December 27,2011

 Wearing here my MAC Russian red lipstick given by a friend,Pam. I sooo like it! Finally I have the fave lip color of Lucy,Liz and Kris.Hihi!Gaya gaya puto maya Me!

 How's it going, Martin and Caysie?? May your love team build on one cold December night prosper.:)

Sha,me,Ate Lan.

Strolling around with 4-inch heel stilettos is no joke. I braved the pain and discomfort,amidst the long paths and rainshowers, I did quite good.It's rightfully termed "tiis ganda." My sis-friend Sharon sported a new hairdo, she looks younger,fresher and prettier with it.

6. PT Mars's Dinner @ Misty's Home,December 28,2011

I love these friends of mine,I am thankful for the decade and more years of camaraderie with them. Jhers,Che's hubby describes us as "Wang-wang Girls" of AUF because of our loud ang high-pitched voice most especially Armin.:)

We seldom meet and be with one another.As texted by Che once, no matter the distance and time, the love and care remains to linger. True.

We miss our other friends,Pen,Danna,Che with Ram,and Mhen. We were anywei happy,that finally we were able to step inside Misty's very elegant and cozy abode. She and her husband Mark designed the place themselves.And a tiny human creature inside Rose's tummy joined the stories,laughter and dinner too.

Such a good time to be with lovely and beautiful ladies, to laugh and share here and there chats and tete-a-tete. I wish the planned overnight camping will push through.Till Rose gives birth so she can drink Tanduay Ice and margarita with us.:)
