Half Past Five

The Bible says " It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins" (2 Maccabees 12:46) " and as Catholics we spend time in prayers for those who have gone before us.

It has been a long while since I last visited Lola Lilia's grave. When I got there , it doesn't look like how  a burial place usually looks like.  It's zen inspired and it's beautiful. That's what it takes to have architects in the family.

The visit may be quick and short but it was all good. I get to spend time with the people close to my heart whom I no longer regularly see. 

with Lolo Dadong

I've always wished I had an opportunity to meet any of my grandfathers. I can imagine how I would have been their favorite granddaughter. Lolo Dadong  stood as the grandfather that I never met through a marriage that didn't work. Although the unity ended years ago, he never made me feel that I don't belong in the family anymore. He is a man of few words. He dresses sharply and his toes are clean. I can imagine him when he was young, he must have been dapper indeed.

To the Dumadags, I am so grateful in many things. And to Lolo and Lola, Thank YOU!

Merry Everything!

Prepping the house on holiday season has always been a celebrated moment for me. It gives me warmth and joy even if most of my family is away. 

Grateful for all that has been and looking forward for a wonderful 2013. Merry Christmas from my home to yours!

Eat, Drink and Be Merry

Sip. Cheer. Fun. Joy. Peace. Love. Celebrate. But above all things, let us not forget to keep Christ on Christmas.

Jingle All The Way

Because I've been naughty and nice ....

I received a package from my favorite sisters via " handmail ". To the Bagnols and the Divinagracias , you don't know how my face lit when I opened it. Tra- la- la- la- la- la- la ! And by "tra-la-la-la" , I mean I am so happy! I don't like them, because I love them. Thank you!

This watch came second on my Christmas wish list.

Honestly, I've been eying for this sunnies in yeeears!

Sporting my new watch and sunnies.
