On family...

Christmas is a time spent with family. It has always been a tradition for us to spend Christmas Eve with my mom's family and spend Christmas lunch with my dad's family. Sadly though, Christmas days have been less festive since my cousins have moved to the US.

This year however, the bu's entire family is home for the holidays! :) The bu and I have been together for a long time now and this year will be the first time I actually get to meet his oldest brother. :) I was actually pretty nervous about it. You see the whole time we've been together, although I haven't met him Kuya B has been the Bu's closest sibling. He looks up to the him and consults with him. He tells him the things happening in his life, the decisions he's been making. He's the bu's biggest influence and you have to understand how much pressure that is. It's like meeting the parents all over again.

The day I finally got to meet him was pretty hilarious too. He was taking a shower when we got in so I was already talking to Tito L when he came out and I said hi and we hugged. Then his next words were classic..."Sandali lang ha, hindi kita makita hindi ko mahanap salamin ko!" (hang on a moment, I can't see you cause I can't find my glasses) hahaha...that broke the ice and everything was smooth sailing from then. :)

I love kuya B and I'm super happy for the bu that his brother is finally home and they get to spend time together again! :) Can't wait to spend Christmas lunch with them. :) My dad's family is in the US this year and so we're spending Christmas lunch with the bu's family. :)

On working over the holidays.

Christmas is my most favorite time of the year! :) I love the happiness it brings, the outpouring of love, the time spent with family. Christmas to me has always been about one thing. Family.

This year however, I have work. It's a challenge to remain positive when everyone is on vacation mode and you're still in the office working like crazy. But then again, that's what this blog is all about. Pursuing the positivity in all the things happening. It's a new experience. Working on a huge party in Boracay. :) I get to see what the island is like leading up to the New Year. Then I get to come home to family just at the right time. :) I can't wait! See, there really is a silver lining in everything. What makes it even better? The fact that R and K will be on the island working and partying with me! :) It will be Epic! :)

So will take loads of photos and share them with you as well. Which reminds me, I have to upload the ones that I took during my last events. Will definitely do that soon.
