One step at a time.

Can you believe that? 2012's over. It's already 2013! Wow! Time does really fly. 

It has been a tradition in our family to welcome the New Year at Clark, Pampanga. It may be in Fontana or Mimosa. For the past three years, I think, we spent it at Mimosa 'coz it's bigger and we have a big family that's why it's very suitable for us. It's actually a great place to spend the holidays for we stayed in the same house which became our bonding. We stayed there for three days, from December 30-January 1. It's one of the holidays that I personally look forward to. We're always complete in welcoming the new year which is actually a great way to start the year. Spending it with loved ones is always a great feeling❤ 

Let me share our "three-day bonding" :) 

On December 30, we just stayed at Mimosa almost the whole day. It was only around 6pm wherein we went to SM Clark with some of the girls. :) 

Non-stop eating for the whole day :)) BUSOG.

After dinner, I had the chance to chat with some of my nieces. Girl talk :) It was nice to actually chat with them and talk about "things". Hahaha =)) We were awake until 2 in the morning, I guess. It was actually fun! It was great to have such conversations with them. Naks =))))))

While on December 31, we had a loooooooong day. The boys woke up at around 7 in the morning to play basketball. I woke up at 9, boo :( Anyway.. the kids then had a swim. I just went with them 'coz I was too lazy to swim. Hahaha! Then, after lunch we were supposed to go to Dinosaur's Island but then it costs 350 pesos and we were fifteen or more? hahaha! So, we just decided to go biking. It was fun! I actually missed biking and I loved the environment there. It was peaceful :) After, we went back to Mimosa. Then, had a little grocery shopping at Puregold. Oh, chocolates❤ Hihi :> Then, we just had little chats with each other inside the villa. When we ran out of topic, we went outside to star gaze. Naks haha :)) The weather was great :) It was cold outside :) The feeling of lying on the grass while looking at the stars, priceless.❤ Then, the tiring thing that we did was run. I actually played with my nephews and nieces. Takbo kami ng takbo =)) Nakakapagod hahaha! Then, it was already 11:30 pm so we decided to go to the clubhouse for the countdown and to watch the fireworks display. It was beautiful!!! We were also able to see the fireworks display from Fontana :)) Everything was beautiful! Then, it was time for Media Noche! Kainan na naman =)) BUSOG. We were awake until 3 in the morning :)

Now, let's go to our last day. On January 1, we just spent half of the day together. So, around 10 in the morning we had our yearly raffle :) I didn't win anything, as usual. Hahaha! But my mom won the overnight stay at H20 hotel :) Yeah, she's always lucky when it comes to raffle. Then after the raffle we had the "pictorial". Hahaha! For this year, we decided to wear something blue. We have so many pictures that day. Non-stop picture taking. We were vain for that moment. Hahahaha =)) I loved all our pictures that day. ❤
