HOLIDAYS @ HOME

It was our first Family Christmas at home so it was quite meaningful celebrating the season with dearest friends and family. It was so much fun having everyone around hyped with all the spirit of the season. My cousin Rey and Family and Dad-in-law came over after Christmas and celebrated New Year with us. We had blasting fireworks at home which was spectacular. I had so much fun but I haven’t took any picture of the Christmas and New Year fireworks.

Food was great with hubby as the chef. Everything was cooked in the brick oven which he made mid 2008. He cooked becoff which is authentic French cuisine, Pork Belly with super crispy crackling, roasted whole rack of pork ribs, roasted chicken, smoked tuna and marlin, home made ham and lovely bread. Wine and spirits were at hand all the time, nothing could I ask more for a feast!

……2008 that was…..

The year 2008 was the most significant year for me because it’s the year that I officially became a mother. Nothing can beat that feeling of fulfillment. Went home 3 times in a row this year in July, September and December. Had our first family Christmas and ended the year with a Big Bang @ home.

In some other aspects, or undesirable aspects I should say, some relationships had been chipped off from in-laws which I don’t know how it just happened. I wish I could just patch things up easily, but things went messy so quickly leaving me unjustified with painful allegations. I’m not really a big talker as a person and I do believe that sometimes the best answer is simply “silence”.

Every year that passes by doesn’t only make me realize that I’m getting older but just a little bit wiser. Oh well.. yes, I do tell myself I’m old when I see my nephews and nieces growing so quickly. It was just like last year when I enjoyed annoying them with their innocence but now, they’ve gone wiser. They make fun of me instead of me making fun of them and I just settle in a fake smile telling myself they’ve known much already. I’m somehow quietly glad.

What’s at store for us for 2009? We don’t know and nobody knows, we could be moving somewhere… prospects, Singapore or Australia… dunno. We live with plenty of uncertainties.
