What I Got For Christmas 2014

Hey Love!

I’m so glad the Christmas is over. Maybe, no more party and get start to eat healthy food. Some reason, I ate too much food. I will not shocking if I found out gain weight up for this month. I went different kind of party. My bank broke too I haven’t save money since black Friday. I spent shop for gift and I hope I have enough money for next year then if not, I have a big problem for my coming vacation.

Today, it’s about chilling out with family. Resting and relaxing is all we need. But I guess not all because, my husband was helping with his son. My stepson is going to move to Texas for adventure. He just graduated and he got a job in Texas that’s why he moving out for another state.

Here is what I got for Christmas. I did post one about what I got for Christmas last year. So, I will definitely do it again. I don’t bragging to showing my gift. But, I am just too thankful and blessed. I am happy for everything I had everyday.

Here what I excited for. He surprises me. First, I thought he didn’t give me any gift because I saw him handed a present to my daughter and he told her, you and your Mom shared with this. My daughter didn’t open it since she was very busy for other gift but the bag I saw at the top with sweet like chocolate and chips. Then everyone already open the present except my daughter still few left that she didn’t open. My husband asks me if I got my present then I said, yes I think so. He realizes that did not receive any from him. So, he asks to my daughter if can she open his present first. When my daughter open from the bottom of the bag is for me. I was wanted to jump for joy because I got a Christmas gift from him. I got a new lens for my camera.

No matter what I thankful for every blessing that I got from them. For their effort wrapping gift and most of all, for thinking of me. I believe I am very lucky to have their caring.

OMG he gives me a lot of sweet. I have to slow eating chocolate been eating too much. I got a tj maxx gift card I am excited to go shopping there again. Tj maxx is my favorite store to shop for clothes. I got $ 50 gift card. I was happy seeing hazel nut from my husband. He knows me well.

I got a new lens for my camera. I am soooo happy and I did try taking photo. This picture is one of sample from my new camera. I still practice of this my new toys. Thank you husband for this Christmas present. 

My mother-in-law knows what I need. She knows my skin type and the lotion she gift to me is awesome. My skin feeling so soft when I using this lotion. Lubriderm is best known a good product. This is my first product I tried from roc. I been seen it all the time but, they are pricey product from drug store. Studio & beauty I seen it in Walgreen and this is going to be my first product to use too.

My precious 8 years old daughter who gift me this bracelet and pendant for Christmas present. She was asking me to wrap this present but the same time, she doesn’t want me to open inside. The reason she asks me to wrap because she didn’t know how to wrap the gift. Until she told me, this present is for you that are why I don’t want you to open. She is so sweet and she thinking for everybody too.

My neighbor Paula & Dennis gift me this bar soap. The box look so pretty neat and smell good too.

My co-worker gives this to me before Christmas. We both love cappuccino. She’s the one who introduce me this drink since then I hooked up and addicted this drink. So, I asked her if she going back to Sam store. I want her to get a 2 box of cappuccino drink for me but I pay. I didn’t expect that they are looked huge in person and she give this to me for Christmas gift and one hand soap from bath & bodywork.

I was shop bath & bodywork and gift them all for Christmas. But, I am happy to receive lotion & hand soap from my stepdaughter. She also gives me this O.P.I nail polish Pink of heart. I didn’t own any from O.P.I before.

My stepson gives this bath & body candle to me for Christmas gift. Both are smell so good. I use mango coconut cooler today, my room smelling delicious, sweet.

Paula and Dennis come and as an always-in holiday they give my daughter Christmas gift. My husband international student from china Jian Xu – he cooked delicious Chinese food. We know they don’t celebrate Christmas in December but were glad he comes and he celebrates a Christmas Eve with us. I was also cooked fried rice and shrimp egg roll. I am so glad they liked our homemade food. Most food we prepared are Asian styles.

Christmas Party 2014

Hi lovely!

This month of December is super busy. For me, there still so many events coming up. I went already to the Christmas party at my worked and I was amaze with my co-worker work this year in committee, like you volunteer to help preparing food in the table and set up. I never been in committee before and this experience is so much fun especially you worked with nice people. I went to my daughter Christmas party at her school and I helped teacher and parents to serve drinks, food, games, and goodies. Here’s picture from the Filipino-American Christmas party and bible study. I met a bunch of Filipina and some of them are become a good friend and best friend. Some of them are new and I just met them through mutual friends. So far, I met most real good friend. I don’t pay that much attention to other people who wont not very nice to anybody and me. We already know, how large you go meeting friend is there still negativities. I mean to say, if you met a lot of friend. Its won’t be a 100% perfect. In my own experience they’re few of people not going to like you and think negative and judge about you. But like this situation gathering and party I just spend to the person who cares for each other and stay to those positive people. I am still blessed meeting friend. Even you lose some and don’t worry there still coming.
