If I were made to choose a gift from the past, what would I choose?

Would it be the stuffy old bear?

The colorful watch that captured the attention of many?

Or better yet, the family computer!

If I were to choose a gift from the past I would choose the memories of these gifts …

The memories of the laughter and the cries of delight as the wrapping papers were torn to reveal small and cherished treasures.

If I were to choose … I’d choose memories of you.

Taken a long long time ago …

so from me and Malou … MERRY CHRISTMAS to eveyone

And hope, hope long awaited
The hope of the ages
Would break with the dawn
And the song that all of creation was anticipating
Would start with a baby’s first cry
- S.C. Chapman

Christmas is a season for “giving” and of course Christmas parties. Numerous Christmas parties! So say goodbye to your diet. Assure yourself that it’s only during the holidays that you’re going to binge. You are not alone! I am with you all the way … I’ve asked Steve to waive our “No Coke policy during this holiday season!” Yahoo!

Anyway, I’m posting the pics from our company’s Christmas party (note: This is not the team’s Christmas party nor the market unit’s Christmas party. This is the entire company’s Christmas party). Warning: I don’t take good pictures. I don’t think the image stabilizer in my camera works! The images still come out blurry (hahaha…. say you agree with me on this one). I’m posting some of the less blurry pics. Oooohh… before I forget, this was held at the World Trade Center since there were around 5K of us. We were such a big group that a rescue team and an ambulance were standing by outside as a safety precaution.

It’s been a while since my last post. Sometimes office work just gets you by surprise and before you know it, two weeks have (more or less) passed you by. Not that I’m complaining (tsk tsk… )

Anyway, a lot of things have happened since I last wrote an entry. Steve and I watched the Sound of Music play at Greenbelt 1 last week along with a couple of our friends. It was great! They based it from the movie and it was really cute watching the little child of 4 or 5 sing and dance. I remember the days when my mother was able to talk me into doing all those things in front of an audience. Big laugh! At least this little girl had talent! Too bad I didn’t have the camera with me then (though I think they wouldn’t have allowed it inside the theater).

The day after the Sound of Music stint I went out with my tito, tita, and cousins. We had a great time catching up and we had our pictures taken as well … Posting some of the pics …
