The Year 2009

Its almost days to go before the year 2009 will end. There were many things that happened in my life for this year. Many ups, downs, struggles, hardships, excitements and more. These are all part of life whether I like it or not. But all in all I am thankful for this wonderful year. There were lots of blessings and to be grateful for all the things that I received. I am hoping that the coming new year will be fruitful ahead. To God be the glory!

Christmas wreath

I took this picture while strolling on Cottonwood place and exclusive upper class residential living. The wreath was beautifully placed in the gate.  I like how it is decorated and the color coordinates of green and green perfectly blended with the Christmas theme and the season.  I even showed this picture to my friend MyMy and she also liked it. Merry Christmas indeed!

Anne’s birthday treat

My sister Anne’s birthday is December 24. Today is her special day so she requested me to cook this yummy creamy spaghetti. Shaghetti cooked in choice ingredients. Things that I added to the sauce are ground beef,onions,garlic,tomato paste,spices and seasonings. I also put some mushrooms then topped with parmesan cheese to make it creamier to taste. Everybody feasted with this special menu for the birthday girl.  This is one special treat that is always present in any occasion at home.

Jubilee celebration

A grand reunion of the Loria family that was very memorable to all. It was an occasion of the 50th golden anniversary of Inday Cing and Uncle Gene. All the relatives from Pampanga,Manila, Iloilo, Davao and Cotabato attended the event. It was full of fun, laughter, thanksgiving, updates and many more. We were even emotional during the thanksgiving proper because of the reminiscing of past family events that were surely missed. One of the highlights for the year 2009 that was truly wonderful.

Beautiful Rosal

A very beautiful rosal flower that was decorated as a center piece during the jubilee celebration of my aunt and uncle. It was their 5oth golden wedding anniversary. The arrangement was simple yet elegant as all the tables were decorated with each of this bouquet.  Great decoration indeed!

Strains of the week

x16875410ispi011594

The week is totally debilitating for me. Balancing present activities is so hard. I have to manage my time so that I can accomplish the demands from work and my assignments in school. My backlogs are already lessened but the reports & consolidation need to be updated daily especially that the year is about to end. I was also give the responsiblity to review and checked some errors on pertinent documents that were due for releasing. Good thing because I was given a reconsideration as far as office time is concerned. My schooling for this week was getting tougher and I need to update my brain with the daily lessons so that I can answer in seatworks and assigments. Last Wednesday, I felt like my brain is floating in the wind because I did 3 sets of assignments that were all problem solving,adjusting entries, balancing etc…I was up until 1:00am and only answered 2 problems. I will be doing some more reviews because the examination schedule will be on Tuesday and the last school week before Christmas. I hope I can unwind and gather my unbalanced self this weekend Thanks God because it is already Friday.
