This is our 5th Christmas together.
I feel so blessed having this Wonderful and Amazing Family. I want to thank God for giving us so much Joy and Happiness in our lives though there are good or bad circumstances that we are going through but with God's Grace I know we can exceed our Challenges that we are facing. Thank you for giving us Strength. Throughout this year, there are Lessons to be learned. There are things that I know happens for a reason. That's why before 2015 comes to an end, all of the Good or Bad things I entrust it to God because I only trust him.
Merry Christmas from our Family to yours!
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is here!
This year's thought to myself that I'd bring my chikiting patrol to a place where there's Christmas Light everywhere to bring JOY and Excitement in their hearts and that place I'd think of is somewhere in Eastwood. But the problem is we don't have any idea the volume of people might be in there right now and also the parking space that's why it's kind of very stressful from us especially to my kids and we don't like that.
Good thing we found this place. This is what they call it Christmas House that is located in Filinvest Cainta. It's a Wonderful Place. Everyone will enjoy here especially the kids and kids-at-heart. It is open from 6 pm to 10 pm and this place is owned by Cruz Family.
We arrived here at 5:30.
Let me tour you to their wonderful house.
Hey, guys. We just went to a Scholastic Warehouse Super Sale in Pasig. When I found out that there's a Book Sale happening right now, I was so like Oh-My-Gosh! It's a very good timing 'coz I really want a new book for my little bookworm baby bears Sam and Mady. So after I read the post from Lady's Motherhood Journey (one of Mommy Bloggers Ph) I must go here on Sunday. So I tagged along with my hubby and my son, Sam.
Regarding the post, you can buy a book for as low as 20 pesos. And yes, we found that.
My main target is to look for children's book. But when we enter the store, I first found this. Though I'm aware that they also have Harry Potter, Divergent Series, Hunger Games Series, etc. in a very huge discount.
It's 5 days to go before CHRISTMAS!
From Work, Schools, Family or with Friends, Christmas Party is now on every corner as the Holidays approaching.

This is his first Christmas Party. I want to stay in their room even though parents were not officially allowed inside the classroom as the teachers were saying but they still allowed anyway.
Ilocos Sur was my father's hometown. This is where he grew up. It's a very nice place. I like the fresh air, the cold breeze especially when you are beside the seashore. Not the kind of thing when you are in Manila. A little change of environment is very healthy physically and emotionally.
Year 2011 is the year of our marriage. Many FIRSTS happened that time. This was our First Christmas together. It is also my son's Birth year. When I was single, my family used to have vacation at Ilocos Sur. We spent Christmas together with my cousins, It's more like reunion so definitely we are all having FUN.
The Anorico Family agreed to have vacationed in Ilocos Sur together with my family since they still haven't been there yet. So we took them a tour.

SUPER FLASHBACK!
I miss our staycation and adventure at Singapore. How we wish we could go back there again and this time with our daughter Mady.
Date: July 9, 2014
In this occasion, we don't want to invite a lot of friends especially those that are far away from us. I want to make my son's birthday a simple celebration with the closest family and our friendly neighbors. And we want to make it more on Filipino style Birthday Party for my son to experience this kind of birthday just like what his parents experienced when they were a kid.

After 8 years, there is A Second Chance. The most awaited sequel to the movie
One More Chance.
Warning: For those who haven't watch the movie yet, do not scroll down! I don't want to spoil your excitement.
Ola! Welcome to MomsVenture Cooking Adventure! Yey!
Honestly, I did have cravings for this one so I did tell myself that I must do this not just for me to satisfy my taste buds but for my kiddos as well.
Fish Fillet w/ White Sauce
It's soooo easy to make because you only need to buy Fish Fillet and the Tempura mix and that's it! Haha! Check out below for more details about the Ingredients and how to make the white sauce. Maybe, we'll try barbecue sauce next time for this. You may also serve potato wedges. The kids will love it. Happy Eating!

500g White Fish Fillet (we choose Cream Dory)
1 box Tempura mix
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Oil for deep frying
For the White Sauce:
1 pack Nestle Cream
1 cup Milk
2 tbsp. Butter
2 tbsp. Flour
broth cubes
Salt & Pepper to taste
Procedure:
1. Clean fish fillet. Slice into strips. Season fish with salt and pepper; set aside.
2. Prepare tempura batter according to package directions, making sure that the batter stays cold.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Deep fish in tempura batter, then deep fry in batches. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
For the White Sauce:
1. In a saucepan, stir in butter, Nestle Cream, Milk and broth cubes . Mix together until broth cubes is completely melt.
2. Mix the flour in a 1/4 cup of water. Stir in the mixture.
3. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Looks like everyone has a very tight schedule whether at work or even at home to finish their errands fast before Christmas Vacation.
I have an unusual experience last weekend. Better not to talk about it. It just occupied my mind the whole Sunday though been trying hard to cheer myself up and not to think about that misfortune.
But anyway, Christmas is really getting near. I have a list to fulfill before Christmas. My son has no classes for today (Dec. 8) because of the Feast of Immaculate Concepcion. So we had a chance to do some Christmas Shopping for our Inaanak (it's one of my lists). And so we went off to Robinson's Place Antipolo.
I know that this event happens a very long time. I just want to put it on record. Can you blame me? :)
Anyway, we can consider this as a FLASHBACK.
Anyhow, way back in 2013, so much celebration to celebrate especially if you have lots of kids who's going to have birthday celebration every month! Oh-my! That's too much. We only had two kids and I thinks that's enough for us. Our little bundle of joy.
As for the title of this post, I know it sounds like so much Filipino-style but we just want to be practical. Who's not anyway? That's is how unique the Filipinos are. If you want to know the details of my Daughter's Christening at the Church please click here.
After Church, went off to the reception to Celebrate Baptism of Madely Claire and 2nd Birthday of Sam Daenel.
