My CHRISTMAS 2015

It was not easy but I managed.I did not break down, my heart was expectedly sad of course. I miss everything about Pampanga- the dawn and midnight masses, my university and college parties, my neighbors and Villa peeps, Clang and most important- my home,Mayet Kakay and  MY MAMANG!!!

 I miss you all the time!!! God knows this that is why I want to believe He is extremely taking care of you there. No drama!!! But I can never be happy anymore without you beside me, Ma!!:(

After Christmas Day mass at Azusa.

 One of my  constant prayers here in America is that no matter how tough and rough the roads may be, I will keep on praising and thanking God for the seen and invisible blessings in my life. It was a splendid way to start His birthday glorifying Him in the Eucharistic celebration with my Azusa family at St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church.

Keep calm. Wear red lipstick!!!

 Due to public expectations and demands , I wore my red lipstick for the annual family party!!! One of my life missions is to extend positivity and radiance to people around me. Even my PH priest friends agree to that!!:)

One of my all-time favorite adages goes like "Joy is a perpetual state of being. You can experience it both in high of happiness or depth of sadness." In extreme conditions of missing home , I continue to see the beauty of life.

From childhood up to this time, Christmas remains to be a special part of my life and calendar. This year's celebration was truly  challenging and new to me. Mamang and I were million miles apart.Nonetheless, these people surrounding me provide me comfort in a great way.

LOVE.HOPE.FAMILY.
