New Year’s Eve

Our family welcomed the New Year with a simple “Media Noche” meal at home.

My wife Ann, prepared delicious foods such as, prawns in chili sauce (she’s really good in cooking shrimps, prawns and crabs in any style particularly in chili, milky sauce).

She also prepared pasta, beef steak tagalog (her newly discovered recipe), grilled pork belly, and calamares.

As a family traditon, we all wore red shirts.

New Year’s Day!

The whole family went to church and attended the 10:30 AM mass. This is our way of giving thanks to God for the many blessings, experiences, friendships and good health for the whole family during 2009. Likewise, we also seek HIs guidance and protection as we welcome 2010…  

Soon after, we  went directly to a mall, SM City Cebu and played bowling.

Playing for even just an hour had been a great way to recharge as well as, bond with our children. Everybody really had  a good time! 

Later, we had our lunch at Dimsum Break where we met a long time,  couple friend with their two cute girls. Truly, it was nice seeing them again!

After lunch, we went to national bookstore and buy some stuff. I actually grabbed an organizer!  Funny, that I always do this before every start of the year and devotedly write things to be done during the first few months but later find myself forgetting… Anyhow, there’s no harm trying, isn’t it?  Perhaps, this could be one of my new year’s resolution now: take notes of  the things I want to get done and fulfill the things I aspire! Actually, everyone should do this!  We need to be specific in what we want to do and achieve… Your notes will help you define your path to tread on…

We went home and went to sleep at late afternoon and woke up later for dinner.

After doing some daily tasks for my online home business(following what I wrote in my organizer), I watched TV for a while before settling to bed… 

Oh, what a tremendous iterinary to start the new year! 

Indeed, it was truly a happy new year !!!
