A Walk Through Life

Obviously, I've been away from the blogging world for such a long time. :-) It was like I was away for a year (line inspired by Nestea Iced Tea commercial where the cutie guy said " last week was last year! ") that I didn't know what to write so I can gracefully welcome myself back. Anyway, there are no alibis explanations this time. Okay, I admit I was busy. Aside from attending to work and health concerns, we (hubby and I) made some decisions that involved our family life. All these things "and more" that I chose not to elaborate yet on this blog have kept me away from doing any blogging updates towards the end of the year. I thought next time it would be a good and polite idea to leave some sort of a " Hiatus " message so as not to keep all my blogging friends wondering about me. I agree I'm not really good at it but for the sake of New Year's resolution, let me make it up to you next time! Anyway, December wasn't so bad after ...

A few days more to go and it's already Christmas. I'm in the middle of work but yours truly is feeling kind of nostalgic because of the many Christmas songs that are being played on the radio. I really can't help but sing along and make a quick post about this as well. Right now, as I am writing this post, they're playing " A Perfect Christmas " by Jose Mari Chan. I so love all his Christmas songs but this one is my favorite Christmas song of the week. I think it is safe to say that I will forever be a Jose Mari Chan fan. Period. I dedicate this song to our families and friends. You know who you are. I hope to see or hear from all of you this Christmas.

The last time he gave me something for Christmas, it was a pair of shoes (Hush Puppies). This Christmas, I am not going to expect to get anything from him because I am already aware of what our money can or cannot buy. Anyway, it goes for him as well. Everytime I would attempt to buy him a new shirt as my gift for Christmas, he would warn me not to because we have to make ends meet first. Yes, he's not the type who would agree to buy gifts from credit card. Obviously, between the two of us, he's the more frugal and practical type.

For those who are into online gaming and animation, you might find this 3D animation movie "RPG Metanoia" a movie to watch for. I am not really a gamer but I would definitely look forward to watch this one, if time would permit. You see, it is so hard to be in the Cinema these days when you're already a mother of a toddler. :-) Take a peek at RPG Metanoia's movie trailer for further details: By the way, this is an official entry to the 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival . This means that you can catch "RPG Metanoia" along with other MMFF entries in Philippine theaters on December 25, 2010. Watch it guys because this is proudly Philippine Made and it took them a lot of years and sweat to come up with this world-class 3D animation movie.

I'd like to write about our memories from the past Christmases we've had here in A Walk Through Life . Let me just say that last year's Christmas was our first Christmas together with our then nine-month-old baby. So far, we have enjoyed the challenge in our journey and life as parents. Yes, this was how it was three Christmases ago. Just got married here. And this was how it was two Christmases ago. A picture of us taken during a company Christmas party - where I wrote about my merry bloated Christmas. Why I called it a merry bloated Christmas ? Let the photos speak for themselves. :-) Now, I realized when I wrote about last year's Christmas in my other blog - I showed photos of me wearing the same pink blouse I wore when I was still pregnant. I also wore the same blouse during my daughter's baptism when she was about four months old. Do you know what this means? It means I don't have a lot to wear! Kidding aside, I think it looked like I los...

Having trouble going to sleep? Something worrying you? Troubled and can't sleep? They say counting sheeps will help you doze off to sleep. However, most people would almost run out sheeps to count and realize they're still up and awake. So why don't we count our blessings, instead? This is perhaps the best cure, remedy and prevention for insomnia. :-) Here's that lyrics to the song: Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep) When I'm worried and I can't sleep I count my blessings instead of sheep And I fall asleep counting my blessings When my bankroll is getting small I think of when I had none at all And I fall asleep counting my blessings I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds If you're worried and you can't sleep Just count your blessings instead of sheep And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
