The start of a new year. Some marathon sleeping was in order to signify the end of a three week period of holiday STRESS, exhaustion, puyatan. It is now late afternoon of January 1 and I have just roused myself from 15 hours of sleep. Actually, the three of us woke up for an hour or two to go to mass and have lunch, then went right back to dreamland. Now, at 6:00 PM, I am disoriented and still trying to decide whether to have breakfast or dinner. And no, I don't feel bad that I spent the first day of the year in a horizontal position. It's Tradition --- from way back when we were teenagers till our early twenties and mom used to host 'open house' parties at home for ALL friends, relatives, neighbors, friends of friends, and practically the whole world from 1:00 to 7:00 AM every January 1. We do not have that anymore of course, but the tradition of sleeping on the first day of the year remains.
As I get ready to face 08 (am half asleep), let me just post pictures of the past family get togethers.. our Christmas Eve with the entire tribe (where we held the traditional gift-agawan 'white elephant' game - which gets more hilarious with each passing year), and our send-off (and New Year's) party for Titoy and family.
(more pics to follow. these take soooooooooo long to upload! I fall asleep every batch of five pics - which is the max per uploading. low tech blog.)

Happy New Year, Prima! I still remember those "stay-in" New Year parties at your Greenhills home! By the way, where's Titoy's family going? Are they moving?
Hello Peachy! Only one person calls me 'prima' kaya alam ko ikaw yon! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Hope everything's ok with you.. si Titoy got a promotion and is now regional technical director for Coca Cola for Southeast and West Asia. So they're moving him to the office in Bangkok on an expat basis for the next three years with whole family.
Malu, ang tagal na! No new post! Maybe you will talk about seeing your handsome brother for breakfast tomorrow, and missing your (other) beautiful sister in law?
Guess Who
wahahahaha. of course I know who you are. breakfast was at amichi resto in pasay road, it was good seeing titoy and hearing all the kuwentos about your plush suite AND the dog hotel.
No posts dahil I can't get past this entry where I said I'd post all the photos.. tagal to upload, and dami.
