Merry X'mas to one and all!

Tonight is the eve of Christ's birth. Supposedly, we are having our first family dinner. Unfortunately, the hubby has to work. So it's just me and the 'lil one in this quiet home. Too bad the rain is flooding the earth, too. Thus, I hear no fireworks at all! I peeked at the window and saw nothing but darkness on the road and a dim light at neighbors' home. I wonder what's going on why most Americans are not celebrating the birth of Christ? Why they are not as excited as I am? Why Halloween is more to be celebrated than tonight's event? Another thing to think about while compelling myself to embrace America's culture and lifestyle.

What's making me more sad is that I got nothing from my family back home (Philippines). No card! No hi, hello! No greetings! How cruel these people are? Why am I expecting in the first place when I shouldn't? I have given my greetings and gifts so early and here I am waiting for nothing. I guess it's best to let go and think of the blessings I have.

Thirty more minutes and it's officially the 25th of December 2009! So before that happens, I will be rushing to the 'lil one's bedroom. She is asleep. I wanna celebrate Christmas beside the most wonderful gift I have from HIM. Oh well, I don't intend to stay long on my PC. I better go!

Hope you had a great Christmas!

Snowy night in Prairieville

Yepeeey! It snowed! Yes, I am a bit crazy when it comes to this. Snow is so rare here in the South and when it comes, everybody are so into it.

The snow lasted for just an hour. Good thing the hubby stopped by while at work to spend the snowy night with us. The ground was flooding and was freaking cold but it didn't stop us going out of the house. THe neighbors were happily screamin while playing with the snow.

It did snow last year. People around here said that it comes once every 8-10 years but the prediction was broke when it snowed for an hour last night. Was it global warming? or just a myth? I dunno! Hopefully, snow would visit again next year and yes I want it to last for hours during the day that the 'lil one could play. I will then take pictures of her lol.

Happy Halloween!

Indeed, it was a fun-filled night! The lil one's first trick or treat, so to speak. The plan was just to visit a friend but ended up going hay riding with them. No regrets with the decision of staying. Everyone had fun especially the 'lil one. Next year, we will be doing it again. Hopefully, it will become a tradition 'til the kids outgrown the celebration. Sure thing the lil one will have more years to enjoy.

After trick or treat hours, we headed to in-laws place. THe old people were waiting for the star of the night while watching football game. Yep, you bet! The 'lil one showed off making everybody laugh to death. She has this natural charisma and humor that no one could resist.

The 'lil one's night ended while we headed home. She slept in the car. She must be sooo tired after a long day of fun.

Before I leave, I am leaving some of the photos for you to enjoy.

About to conquer the road.

It's obvious!

Before trick or treat! So ready to hit the road!

Mother-daughter-tandem.

On your Natal Day..

Len with tons of Filipino dishes during her birthday. She just sent this photo to make me crave of the foods lol.

I wanna greet you a Happy, Happy Birthday, Len-len!

You are 24 years old now! Another year older and wiser. Wish you all the best in life. Stay as generous as you are.

Back from hiatuses

It's been a while since the last time I stepped on this blog. My online duties are barely done in a day as I have my own priority -- the 'lil one. It gotten worse when the 'lil girl started walking, talking and very mobile. Everytime I am on my computer, there she goes and wants to to do what I am up to. If I am typing, she wants the keys, if I am browsing, she wants the mouse.

Anyway, I have a great opportunity to update you here. THe 'lil one is actually awake and she's in her room watching Sprout. Once her favorite show is over, she'll be here right quick. Oh yah, she has her own mind now. She knows what she wants and will hold a grudge if she dislikes what you tell her to do. Pardon this 'lil girl's attitude. The hubby and I are on the process of correcting her. Sometimes she remembers that it ain't good but most of the time, she'll do what she wants. Well, she is still a year old. She'll learn and understand in time.

So what I've been up to lately?

The hubby and I are on diet and that limits us from dining out. We had a couple of free days already, not looking forward of having one though. It messes me up and makes me want to eat unhealthy foods all the time. It will take time before free day happens again.

Alright, the Sprout show is over now. I can hear the footsteps of the 'lil one. I have to go before she'll press the keys and delete this post.

See yah later alligator.
