Obviously, here I am, blogging my last blog for 2009.
In a few hours, we''ll all be having our media noche and will be welcoming the year 2010!
I'm sure everyone's hoping for a better year ahead, and that we could all leave the not-so-good happenings for the year 2009.

I haven't been able to blog during Christmas because it was a bit busy, so I'm just gonna do it now. Luckily I was able to file my leaves for this holiday season, because I know that we'll be having a lot of "surprise schedules" or whatever you may want to call 'em for the holidays. Knowing for a fact that my mom's uncle and aunt went here from the States for the holidays, as well as my uncle and cousin. And, well, I was right.

I am proud to say that I have been able to complete the 9 days of the Simbang Gabi. =D
Although i've been going to the anticipated mass at 8pm, still, I was able to complete it. And I'm real happy that I was able to. Also, I am really happy that I was able to go to Paskuhan this year! It was really great, with the fireworks, and all of the other stars there, and the performances. I'm glad I didn't miss it, and I was able to see some of my classmates again! =D
Then last December 22, my mom and I fetched my uncle and cousin from the airport, and then bit by bit they surprised everyone, because only my aunt and my mom knew that they were gonna be spending the holidays here. Then on December 23, I had to do a super last minute shopping for my shoes and Ifor's gift. We also had a surprise birthday treat for my cousin that day. (her birthday was on December 22) Then on the 24th, we prepared for noche buena, then we had some Christmas eve shots together with the other members of the family. December 25th, we went to Pasay where we spent the whole Christmas day with the whole family on my mom's side, and with lots of fooooood. We went on the afternoon of the 25th to MOA, to do some girl bonding-slash-shopping, which was soooooo crowded, and luckily we were able to survive the mob of people there. I think I'm never going back there during Christmas day. Not unless we really need to.

December 26th was our rest day, then on the 27th, we had our family reunion, my mom and her siblings together with our cousins had lunch at home then we went to Manila Memorial Park because it was our lola's birthday. We spent the afternoon there and went straight to MOA (again) to have our dinner at Gilligan's. Then after dinner, we went around the mall, which has lesser people, and finally went home. The 28th and 29th were both supposed-to-be rest days in preparation for new year, but I went with my aunt and uncles and cousins to La Mesa Eco Park. The park was really nice, it was a nice day to just roam around and hang out, but it was tiring. Then we went to Greenhills, and Eastwood, and then went home. There's a lot more pending activities for us together with our cousin, we haven't even had our night out yet, haha.

Yesterday, the 30th, Ifor and I were finally able to see each other! The last time we saw each other was on the 20th of December, he accompanied me to MOA because I needed to buy some stuff, then because we were both busy during the holidays, we didn't know how we were to meet up. Finally, we were both free yesterday, so he went here at home, then I was finally able to give him his gift-polvoron and a headset/earphones. Luckily he agreed to come here, if not, then we were just to see each other after new year for sure. I really missed him, so I was really excited when he told me that he was to come here yesterday.
I hope 2010 will really be good for us, not just for our relationship, but for each of us as well. He'll be graduating this March, and hopefully he finds a good job after graduation, because I know he has a lot of responsibilities coming, and his dreams, most especially for his family. (hopefully i'm included...hahaha!)

We also had the family reunion on my dad's side, so we went to Bulacan to have dinner with family, and spend some time together. Then today, the 31st, I had my haircut with my mom this morning, and we bought some other stuff for later. New look for the new year, haha. I hope we'll have a good time spending new year's eve and eating the food for media noche. I even bought some fireworks for later, which I hope will be nice. And there's vodka! hahaha...

Well, this is my last blog for 2009.
Farewell 2009, Welcome 2010!
I hope we all have a whole lot better year ahead of us all. =)
