We had tremendous time of fellowship with our church people last Sunday. It was our thanksgiving service since it was the last Sunday of the previous year..... It was an all-day fellowship. We had time of worship in the morning and "foods" in late afternoon. So much food equals so much fun...That`s what it was.... food made the difference, i should say. Everyone went home loaded, satisfied and grinning. Nice way to say goodbye to the old year, huh?
I felt so lazy when i woke up the following morning. I did a heavy cleaning around the house before calling it a day that night. It was as if a storm came and messed the place up after all those people left me in total despair. Everyone in my family were dead tired and just slept it off, and all the others who were supposed to help me have gone home... I just can`t sleep leaving my place this way!! So as a good mother would be doing, i dusted, washed the floors `til it shined, swept and re-arranged everything in their usual places up to the last item...
And this morning, i have to rush to the supermarket, will do the cooking and preparations for the "media noche" tonite. I wish i will have this day for a day off and can the new year`s eve would wait until tomorrow?..... wahuhu....... move lady, the day will pass even without you!! So off i went, gone through the long lines in the store, did the cooking, serving and intertaining.... yeheyy, i survived it all.
We were having fun. lots of food again. Remie brought some menu that she cooked herself, and mine, our chinese neighbor brought us 2 kinds of recipes also. Lots of desserts. "lahat pampataba"!! Its always fun when you`re with the people you love. We had gift-giving. Simple gifts they were but made us feel real good accepting our little wrapped gift, whatever it is inside.... basta may regalo.
You know how Pinas new year celebration goes....The loudest noise, the merrier. In our place in Malacanang, where almost all our neighbors are rich, we had fireworks display left and right and it was all so beautiful. Kami, dalawang "fountains" lang na sinindihan namin when the clock striked midnight. Then "torotot" na at mga lusis na binili ni jeff. Fun, fun, fun, really fun especially when you can shout at the top of your voice without people apprehending you for doing so. Eh, new year nga eh!!
We watched one or two films until dawn, `til our eyes dropped. Oh, just so you`d ask, it was a nice inspirational movie. When i watched it the first time, it has brought tears to my eyes...It`s about hope. That hope is a good thing, and good things never dies... It`s a timely movie for the new year....We`ve got to have a great deal of hope in our system if we want the year ahead to be fruitful....
So that`s how things were three days ago..... Now, back to normal. Bumisita ung isang auntie natin kahapon, humirit pa. hehehe!! oh well, its always blessed to give than to receive, right? God`s principle is always effective and true.
The lady who is doing our laundry is in her battle downstairs today trying to finish our tons of dirty clothes. She started very early though and sure will have plenty of time to complete the job.
I gave out a sigh of relief... after all, it has been all worth it.
Until next time guys.... miss you all..
