Happy Christmas!

I've been meaning to write a post for the longest time but every time I start something I keep thinking I have nothing to write and so I put it off again. But then again, I have so many things to share, about me, about my family and about the fact that Christmas is absolutely my most favorite time of the year. A testament to the wonderful childhood I had. :)

Growing up Christmas was all about presents. Lots and lots of presents. I come from a huge family and I have never been short of awesome presents from the coolest toys to the nicest outfits. Christmas presents were abundant. Christmas angpao's were abundant as well. :D It has always been an established tradition. Christmas and New Years Eve was reserved for my mother's side of the family. Christmas and New Years Day was reserved for my dad's side of the family. A perfect set-up.

Meet my mom's side of the family.

I grew up with cousins. I was never short of playmates to run around and play pretend with and now we have two babies in the family. Love. :D

Meet my dad's side of the family.


Most of my relatives are already in the States so there's only a few of us but the celebrations are never dull. We always start off with a great meal and the best dessert and finish off with presents. How can my Christmas get any better than that? That's when I realized I am becoming a grown up. Although I still love getting loads of presents (which I must say were awesome this year? Yay family) I love being around these people the best. Christmas is all about Family and love. So I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas this year and an even better coming New Year. :) Will post about that next. :)

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.
