The year that was

Or should I just say the month that was??? Everything happened so fast, I have so many stories to share but it's either i can't put the right words to write or can't find the ample time for it (hay, and i thought being a SAHM will give me more blogging time...haha)

anyway, chancing upon rhea's site (since i was checking if she has uploaded our pics already...hahaha) i felt guilty that i have'nt really updated our blog to think that december is always a month of family events for us. it's of course, our favorite month since we celebrate our anniversary and our favorite season...the Christmas!

i'll try to reminisce the past month so here it goes:

Dec 4 - my SIL gave birth to the little prince of the Tan clan, Justin Daniel Maano. I can still remember of how at 230am of Dec 3, we brought her to the hospital (simon and i) coz she really felt that it was time. unfortunately, she was asked to go home. haha. in the morning, i asked her to come with us while i run errands, do some appointments and go malling so baby would come down. while having lunch, she felt that she needed to really go to the hospital. so as relaxed and calm as i was, i brought her to the hospital (with my baby simone and my other SIL) and there we found out that she was 4cm already. hahaha. she gave birth at 12:30am, Dec. 4, the day after my FIL's bday. hehehe. and we all survived the birthing experience that tested the faith of the whole family. Everything is good and we pray for the best future for our little prince.

Dec. 7 - party at my former office...where we supplied the sound system. hahaha. simon had to attend another event naman...grabe sa kayod ito!

Dec 8 - my parent's anniversary! we went out and pigged out as usual. hahaha.

Dec. 10 - Jane and Oliver's anniversary. we were'nt able to celebrate with them since jane was still trying to recover from her delivery.

Dec. 19 - party at my former department...FUN! i missed everyone and i was glad that they still invited me to the party. of course, there was singing! hahaha...i miss them so much!

Dec. 21 - Simone's 10 months already! grabe, another post for all her milestones but can i just say that im so proud of my baby! she is one bright kid. :)

Dec. 22 - our 2nd anniversary!!! we just had a simple celebration since we wanted to celebrate on a more noble cause, but since we're still planning for that, we wont' share muna. hehe. but we still went out and had dinner at our favorite hang out, Eastwood! i enjoyed the Il Pirata experience. the food was good, we had a moonlit dinner at their so-called boat and of course we had a good laugh. it's always a fun moment with simon and we never ran out of stories to share...i love you beh!

Dec. 23 - Chris and Mercy's wedding! Finally! the two tied the knot already. It's also Simone's first wedding and we might have missed some parts of the wedding and might have wished we brought along our yaya with us, but everything's good. I might regret it more if i did'nt bring simone to the wedding. she was so pretty that day, just like her mom. hahaha. i had to carry her though while i was wearing a gown and can you believe i wore her on a sling?! oh yes! mommy on a gown with a sling!!! hahaha. and of course, the photographer was so amused at her coz she always looked at the camera when it's picture time...thus, a lot of pictures for her. hahaha.

Dec. 24 & 25 - we went to the Tans and the Fermins to have Christmas dinners! sooo fun! and we ate our noche buena in the morning na and opened gifts after. we stayed at home the whole day and thanked God for our first christmas with simone. haaay, time flies so fast.

Dec. 26 or sometime after christmas - we went to simon's office for children's christmas party. simone got a lot of goodies and gifts from her godparents! we decided not to do the traditional pamamasko to godparents since we dont know how to go about it but we thank God for thoughtful godparents. hahaha.

and in betweens were wedding coordinations, last minute shopppings, and work. hahaha. if i remember more, i'll post it again on another entry.

Again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!!! God bless!!!
