spreading the christmas spirit

Got this tag from Carla & Mari. Sorry it took ages . . . . Thanks sisses :-)

Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now. Starts here. It’s so simple. Copy the photo below then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF-LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.

1. Bits and Pieces by Jan :: I wish Gino and I will be able to convince friends to help us sponsor a simple Christmas party for the children of White Cross Children’s Home in San Juan.

2. The Wifey Diaries by Jannesse : My birthday falls on the 22nd of December. I have always wished to spend it with orphaned or abandoned kids. I’d be super happy to spend my birthday with them. That way, they get early Christmas presents from me. Oh, and can I wish for a baby, too? Please?

3. The Versoza Inc. by Con: I’d like to have a simple Christmas party for all the children of our employees. Times were hard on our company this 2007, but still, the Christmas Spirit should not be overpowered by it. Christmas is about family. So our Christmas party should not be for employees only, but for their families as well. Also, I wish our clan would make it a tradition to have a Christmas gift giving project. My Tita Doi started it last year with the Antipolo church children. I am looking forward to this year .

4. Mommy On Top: I wish I could help a couple of kids (both are related to my kids’ nannies) finish their education so they can, in turn, help their family earn a living. I could try and help them find a job, but without finishing their studies, they can only go too far. With a diploma or at least some certificate of formal education, they could do so much and reach farther. I hope my efforts in hooking them up with this certain NGO will come out with favorable results.

5. Coffeenchoclate : We hope to sustain an extended help for a few elders and be able to increase aid to another few elders before the year ends.

6. C'est La Vie: We'd like to continue on helping out and sharing the Christmas spirit to our household help and their families.

7. Feeling ni Carla:I'd like for me to get preggers..is that selfless?well, being a mommy is a selfless act right?...I also wish that more people be aware of greenpeace or any environmental group for that matter..That more people be aware that it is essential for everyone to pitch in in saving our environment. I wish that people of the future may see the beauty of nature in person and not just in photos or videos. And this can only become possible if the people of right now care for the environment.Since it is Christmas wouldn't it be nice to give a gift to the environment too?

8. A Housewife's Journal by Mari: Since Christmas is for children, I would also like to continue the tradition my dad has been giving in our community. He usually gathers children from the barrio and give them an afternoon filled with fun and games. This time, I wish to add more and make it look like a children's party where there will be food, lootbags and gifts for everyone.

9. As We Face Forever by Rhia I wish that even just for a week or day before Christmas there would price roll back in all commodities so as the entire nation can celebrate Christmas with their families and love ones.



I guess I am too late to pass this tag along. Feel free to grab :-)

Got this nice tag from Wheng. Thank you Sis.

Players: ALPHA / YEN / Wheng / Rhia

My roommate and I once: though prohibited, we smoked and drunk till the break of down inside the boarding house. the next day our landlady scolded us and almost kicked us out. hehe.

Never in my life have I: dined-in and watched movie alone

High school was: all about varsity (table tennis), bf and friends!

When I’m nervous: I always feel like urinating.

My hair: is brown shoulder length in soft layered cut

When I was 5: I was very talkative and my mom was even asked to go to school because of being too noisy. hehehe.

When I turn my head left: i see my mobile pedestal and printer

I should be: configuring and testing sap for withholding tax entry, but i rather do this first. hehe.

By this time next year: I should be pregnant or already have a baby and a SAHM

My favorite aunt is: Tita Gel, she's the only aunt I got. No choice. Haha. :p

I have a hard time understanding: clothes pattern making

You know I like you if: you like the things that I like to do.

My ideal breakfast is: fresh cow's milk (as in fresh!) poured over steamed rice and tuyo. weired? this is yummy and our (my sisters) favorite breakfast in our province.

If you visit my home town: just like Wheng, you'll go home bloated at may bitbit ka pa pauwi. Plus you'll never forget my mom's signature chicharon

If you spend the night at my house: I will be cooking a very special dinner for you.

The animal I would like to see flying besides birds: Snakes. Can't imagine. Hehehe

I shouldn’t have been: tiring myself too much doing my extra spices (sewing, cooking and invitation making)

Last night I: was making/sewing a fitted bedsheet.

A better name for me would be: Jean (jean-of-all trades . . . hehe, I can really do a lot of things even some carpentry works)

I’ve been told I look like: My dad and sister (hehe) if celebrity Tina Paner daw . . . harhar.

If I could have any car, it would be: bmw, fortuner or cr-v

We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.

Spread the poem of friendship.

My latest shoes, mary jane Crocs from hubby. Because of my small size we got them at the kids section. It's around Php 400+ cheaper :) that's the advantage of being small :P
