Christmas=Sharing ♥

Yesterday was exactly 30 days before Christmas. Just like most of us, I, too, am excited for this joyful day. As much as being excited, I also can't wait to do sharing which is the true essence of this season (but it should be any moment we can). 

It was mom's last rest day of the year yesterday since December will be a "No-Restday Month" for them. To celebrate it, we attended mass then ate merienda at SM Masinag. While having a merienda, I told them not to eat much since I will be preparing our dinner. After eating, we part ways because I will be buying ingredients for our dinner.

Upon going to the supermarket, we saw this cute Christmas tree filled with stuffed toys.

Boyfriend asked if I want one. I almost hesitate until I saw this:

YES! Those bears that are hanging on the Christmas tree are from people who loves sharing. For only P100, we are given a chance to share. Upon paying, you will be given 2 stuffed toys, one for you and one will be donated. As what the lady who are in charge told us, "May stuffed toy ka na, Nakatulong ka pa!" which is true.

Instantly, I said yes to this cute stuffed toy and named it YURI.

See? The recipient, though will not know you personally, will at least know your name :)

You can personally put the toy on the tree and find the right place for it

Very true :)

 S.H.A.R.I.N.G.

BEARS OF JOY. I guess, every SM Malls has this tree. Go and share now!

Your P100 will surely go a long way :)

I always believe that you don't have to have so much for you to be able to extend help to others. In fact, those who are needy really don't need much. Whatever we share, if it is from our hearts, it is more than enough. Anyway, material things aren't just the way to share, it is sharing LOVE and HAPPINESS that is more important ♥

It's 29 days before Christmas. Before anyone else does, let me now greet you a MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

It's a Boy: A Baby Shower for Johann Edrick

They say, "Pregnant women brings luck." This was proven when Ate Jessica (the lucky charm) made it possible to bring us, EI Friends, together through her baby's welcoming party.

Now, let the pictures tell the story:

The Lucky Charm :)

My first time to meet Ate Ruby and Baby "Bibo" Bella

See the smiles in our face? I hope those absent will come next time :)

WACKY! That's our wacky, the standard way :)

Ate Jessica and Kuya Johnson, thanks for this gathering. I am praying for more of God's blessing to your family. Have a safe delivery, Ate Jess! 'Til next time :)

Dear Baby Johann Edrick, 

We can't wait to see you. We are all praying for your mom's safe delivery and for you also to have a good health. I know God is with your family, helping you mom and dad, in giving you all the best in this world. Of course, we are their support system. We love to have you as part of our family.

Baby, your gifts are waiting for you! You'll surely love them :)

COMELEC Antipolo releases Voter's ID

The long wait is over. It was yesterday, November 5, 2012, when the Commission on Elections Antipolo started to release National COMELEC Identification Card (Voter's ID).

For the past months, my friends are always asking me if they can already get their Voter's ID since they have registered few years ago. Being in the City Government of Antipolo, it is one of our duties to inform the public about information like this but since there was no announcement for the last months (and I still don't have my own), the only thing I can tell is for them to check or call COMELEC. One thing more, COMELEC is a national office so the local government cannot answer for them. 

Those who registered from January to June of years 2003 TO 2011 can now get their Voter's ID. 

To my fellow Antipoleños who want to know if they already have their ID or have other querries, especially those who are far from the COMELEC, you can call 689-4568. To those who want to come, COMELEC Antipolo is just beside the City Government of Antipolo near Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage Church (Antipolo Cathedral).

If confirmed, you should bring your registration slip or a valid ID. Authorization letter and Special Power of Attorney is needed if you can't come personally.

Voting is our right, let us use it wisely! :)

Hello, Sweet November! ♥

My friends from facebook and followers in twitter know how I am wanting time to run fast for this month to come. Okay, November isn't my birth month, it's my brother's yet it isn't also the reason behind my rants about it -- it's just that I am expecting something good and yes, SWEET this month. 

It is All Saint's Day today and also the start of long weekend for most employees like me. I am glad that after being very busy for the past weeks, I now have the time to rest and be lazy. haha! Today, I just stayed at home with mom. My relatives who passed away are far from where we are living now so we just lighted candles and prayed for them. Mom also requested for a special mass for them.

Going back, cold wind is also here to remind us that Christmas Season is coming near. 55 days to go before the happiest day of the year! I am so excited! I hope days will run fast. I am really expecting a lot of good things this month :)

I wasn't able to post anything last month because of lots of work loads. Anyway, I'll try to write more this month.

As always, I am welcoming this month with all of my heart. 

Dear November, I know you'll be good but I am expecting you to be awesome ♥
