I think I've been short changed this Christmas... Now - why do I say that? Well, honestly - for the first time in years, I sort of went all out on giving gifts. I did NOT quantify but qualified - I thought that since they were my friends - I will give them what I could - some was even out of the budget. I always had this idea in my head - High risk = High return. I know it was my mistake to expect and have this kind of idea but honestly - I felt bad.. Hear my side of the story.. Gift #1A - I got what I asked for, well - sort of. It was half of what I asked for. Hahaha! I actually made it clear stating that Friend #1 should be giving me Gift #1A and Gift#1B. But what I got was just one. We actually talked about what to give one another - and to be fair - Friend #1 wanted Gift X to be given and it was (there was even some more!), as for me - I asked for Gift 1A and Gift 1B. Come giving time - I was really eager to get both gifts - but unfortunately - I just got Gift 1A. ...

Yes, I just came back from Bicol - what a trip it was!! It had a stressful start - but the ending was wonderful! Made new friends and even met Gov. LRey! ( Who I'm sure won't remember me! Hahaha... ) Thanks for Carol - our host! Her parents and her sister Cathy. Thank you for everything!! :) I will be organizing my pictures (and thoughts) and will be posting soon!!

A follow-up question to my U2 post.... I know there are so many - but if you had to choose just one.. What will yours be? Mine is Stuck in a Moment . I don't know why - but whenever I hear this song, it literally stops me in my tracks.. I was once not a big fan of U2 - what changed it? Well, it was just recently - while watching the Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Bono did this medley of U2 songs - a capella! It was wonderful, absolutely wonderful! Can't wait!! BTW - Leave a comment - share your favorite!! :)

Are they really coming over? If they are - DANG IT!! I'm gonna buy me tickets! I know for a fact that they make on helluva show!! :) When they do come - I'll be able to cross out one item in my list of things to do before I die! Hahaha..

Last night, my Panget's cutie friend M - invited us for a dinner hosted by Smart Infinity at The Fireplace in Hyatt Hotel and Casino . We had no information whatsoever on what the event was for - we were just told to dress in formal attire in black or red - that was it! And so when we got to the place - we were like clueless kids walking into a gathering for the first time! We were greeted warmly by Mr. Johnny Litton - he was such a charmer! As we entered the restaurant - My Panget and I were actually feeling out of place because those who were invited to the event - well, they were part of the society's big guns! Who were we to be there? We couldn't believe that we were in the midst of the movers and shakers in society. There was the son of the country's biggest mall developer, the wife of the co-owner of the country's biggest mall developer's hardware department, the grand son of the country's foremost broadsheet, the editor of a known fashion glo...

Our youngest puppy is sick! She's like a child! Look at her! The vet advised us to put a cold pack on her head to bring her fever down. And she's been sleeping like this since 10am!! :) Isn't she cute??
