Christmas party in our Street

We have a group in our street called 'KLASMEYTS' and yesterday we held a Christmas party for our street aimed to strengthen the unity in our neighborhood and give joy and entertainment to both children and adults in the spirit of Christmas. Here are the pictures. =)


FOOD!! =)

We also had games for both chldren and adults..

Dance contest


I dont know the name of this game but it has something to do with the fastest one to finish a bottle of soda.


In these pictures, the contestants are to find the coin hidden beneath the plate filled with powder.


The coin is placed inside the pants and the first one to bring up the coin from the bottom of the pants to the waist part wins the game.


Longest line relay..


Guessing game..


We had a singing contest too!!


We were also entertained by a celebrity impersonator..


We gave away prizes for the winners of each game and we also gave out the gifts that was brought to us by the homeowners themselves.

After the games, everybody just enjoyed the remaining time to dance.. =)





With some of our guests..

THE KLASMEYTS! Batch 2008. =)



WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT THIS PARTY WAS A SUCCESS! THANKS TO ALL THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED AND MUCH THANKS TO THOSE WHO BROUGHT ADDITIONAL GIFTS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD FOR ANOTHER PARTY NEXT YEAR!!

The big picture

Well, Christmas here in the Philippines just passed--it's already the 26th.

So, was it hard to celebrate it this year? Or, is there any reason to celebrate?
I mean, considering the economic crisis that the world is going through right now?

Well, for us Filipinos, its pretty much the same thing every year and we just make the most of what we have.
Hey, the price of fuel has gone down really low this december..... hmmmmm... =)

It's not about how much food you have on the table--we just had lumpia rolls, a roast chicken and rice for the Christmas eve.
It's not about how much gifts you got or gave out--no exhanging of gift happened in our home.
But what made that night special is that the whole family is there and sharing the blessings that was given to us.
That's the most important gift since we are all very busy and we rarely get to spend time together as a family.

Don't let your hardships stop you from celebrating Christmas.
Remember, it's not about what you are going through. It's what you have survived.

Look at the big picture, there are more reasons to celebrate than to sulk in one corner.

(yea, there is no picture in this post.. ^^,)

Merry Christmas and God bless everyone!!
