A New Year !

Okay, okay, it's been almost a month of no entries.
My computer got broken in the midst of moving homes, can you believe that?
I only get to borrow my hubby's computer between 6:30-6:45 in the morning to check on important e-mails.

Promise, when I have my new computer, will catch up big time.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas.
Happy birthday, Jesus!

Our contractors are so good, just when nobody believed that we can move on time, we did!
We moved in before Christmas, I mean, who does that???
What kind of normal people would succumb themselves to that pressure?
Well, I always thought normal was boring anyway, haha.

Had a lot of my friends come in to visit and view :)
Had to stop viewing last week as we need to do some retouching.

My friend Trisha came over today despite the temporary restriction to accept viewers, haha
I told her,
Trish , we're that close, house is less than perfect and I allowed you to see it"

Next post, since I can't post photos
Will write about my friends' feedback regarding our new home.

I am tired.
Exhausted
But happy
And content

Have a great year ahead!

Culte Femme night

w/ Linda, Anne, Tasha, Rima & Mai

(Looks like I am but I was not holding that bottle, my students might see this )

At Hindy's 10th anniversary

Fun times with my girl friends.

Merry making time!

Blood is thicker

w/ my cousin Leah, cousin Francis w/ wife Kris

w/ Tita Minda & Tito Lino at Francis' place

after dinner at Izakaya Wasa went to Cheesecake Factory with my cousins

So after my brunch with Joey and family

my second cousin, Francis, and his wife, Kris, picked me up

He's a graphic artist and does photography

so we're on the same page when it comes to artistic rendezvous

Told him wanted to go to the Getty or MOCA or LACMA museums

but with time constraints and heavy traffic

they brought me instead to Mission San Juan Capistrano

LOVELY!

Too bad all photos are in his camera

since, uhmm, yeah, he does photography

Afterwhich, went to Spectrum to meet up with cousin Leah

We had such a good time laughing, teasing, chatting

They find me sooo funny!
Haha, I love it that they laugh at all my jokes and remarks

kinda like canned laughter, haha

Really sweet time with my relatives

then Francis' parents came over to his place

to see me

I enjoyed Francis & Kris' place

very artistic

wouldn't expect less from a graphic artist & his wife

Thanks for giving me my best restful sleep in the States

See you soon!
