PRe 2 PoST HoLiDaY HaPPeNiNGs!

finally...the holidays are over and my blog is overdue to be updated. and to make it easier to share what happened during my holiday adventures (i am hoping you would care to see how i celebrated the holidays...), here is a rundown of my holiday activities.

pre xmas celebration - Team GXS team building at Munting Buhangin Resort Camp in Nasugbu, Batangas.

this was so much fun as i was longing for an outing even before december this year. my team was very excited and enthusiastic for the trip and this made it all the more worth it. we left after our friday night shift and went straight to batangas. we reached the place and settled in. siyempre may mga picture taking in between. the team was great company! all of them were fun and never was there a dull moment, especially with Gerald around (dating stand up comedian ata siya eh hehehe sa past life). i discovered a lot from my teammates like Bryan's musical prowess, JM's drinking prowess (haha), daddy art's cooking skills and a lot more. super saya talaga! may live singing accompanied by a guitar, grilling marshmallows and hotdogs, sharing stories and jokes, and just relaxing...twas great til we packed and went home. but we stopped by tagaytay first for a quick lunch. and after that home straight home...

xmas celebration 2x:
--noche buena at cavite
for the noche buena celebration, me, my mom, bros Christian and Michael, plus cousins and aunts, nephew and niece celebrated together in the house of my cousin just a few blocks away from our house. this is actually our usual xmas yearly celebration.

sam and karylle opening their gifts - xmas is for the children!

--xmas Gaton Clan reunion for Dec 25 at Novaliches
the gaton clan is at it again. this year's reunion was held at an aunt's house in novaliches. so the gaton' s old and new (welcome carlos joaquin) gathered around for gift giving, meal sharing and kwentuhan!

new year 07!
the new year was nice as well...although it was ad for the absence of some family members (in dubai- Ate Cathy, JB, Japan - Hannah, in the uS -Jake) but although this is the case, we all are thankful for the invention of the telephone. And yes, I really do love the telephone! thanks Alex Graham Bell!
This year's new year was great as we had the 3 families in cavite all together at Ate Meg's place.

Also, medyo special kasi aside from having a whole leg as our ham, we also had dragon fireworks. sosyal!
aside from that we had our usual videoke galore and tawanan to the max!!!
