Welcoming 2013 With A Bang

2012 had been very memorable to me. It was the year that my efforts finally produced results. Made possible by the guidance of the Almighty, I am offering praises and thanksgiving for all of the blessings He bestowed upon me and at the the same time the people He brought to my life to be a part of my very exciting journey as a person and as an entrepreneur, I am a work in progress. And I am blessed.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."-JFK

SPENDING CHRISTMAS 

Home will always be my heart is. Yes,I know you might ask,which home? My hometown where I was born is what I consider my first home. For ten years past, I did not spend Christmas with them and this year was an exception. We had so much fun and bonded, took advantage of those years we missed.
Let me take this opportunity to thank also those who came and celebrated with us on my little boy's birthday party. Your presence means so much, thank you.



JANUARY 2013

Had been very busy attending to my"stuffs" but also enjoyed and took time to record all my activities during the time. I will be sharing to you later the tips and the nearby places that I visited, hotels stayed, for your reference when you are at my beloved hometown Philippines, but first let me start with Cebu's yearly grand parade offered to our Patron Saint "little Jesus" Senior Sto. Nino of CEBU which is known to everyone, a tourist flocking considered festival here, the Sinulog Mardi Gras!

SINULOG 2013

The city was dressed in all colour's, drums you can hear everywhere. People not minding the heat, everyone you see had that festive look on their face. The Basilica del Sto. Nino was our first destination. Squeezed ourselves unto the thick line of people inside and heared mass before anything. Then, off we go to the streets, where the fun begins! Long to experience that street dancing parade.. My time has come!^.^
