my favorite holiday

...hands down, is the christmas season.

how can you not love christmas?

aside from the spiritual and religious aspect, there is just something about this holiday that cheers you up and makes you feel like a kid again.

i am just thankful that although we are living in a muslim country, different religions and celebrations are tolerated here.

so the christmas tree is up, the advent calendar is waiting to be filled, baby is starting to say "mas" for "christmas" and "noe" for "snow." yes, we are in the desert, but one can pretend, eh? anyway, we have ski dubai and the weather now is just gorgeous.

there's also a festive mood in the neighborhood- a beach soccer game, an open-air market, tourists in their warm clothes...

and more christmas songs!

thank you!

something beautiful happened in boracay a year ago

oh wow.however can we relive that day? i don't think we ever can. sigh. i'm just forever grateful to our friends who made it all possible.you all know who you are.

thank you so much for everything.

i was in the salon when i heard this song over the radio.i've forgotten how much i used to love this song. kinilig ako.hihi.so i thought it is just apt to post this and be reminded of that beautiful day in boracay.
 

weekend round-up

we set up our christmas tree last night. hopefully, the trimmings and the overall look of the tree will improve in the years to come, but for now, this is our christmas tree.and we are happy to see it all glittering and shimmering.baby even had a comment on it, "it's nice!"

yes?

oh no! oh yes!

i think i just deleted a whole folder of our roman holiday photos.

cr**.

not that i needed a reason to go back there because frankly speaking, i do not want to. it was one of those trips where we had a tight schedule and where we had to change trains and planes like there was no tomorrow.

and it's just not that.

eid mubarak

we were given a very long weekend  due to eid celebrations! so that's friday until tuesday for all of you, my non-uae readers.

here's a catch-up from last month and last week:

zombies

dude, mr t and i are hooked on this.
