My mouth still waters every time I think about our Thanksgiving dinner feast.  More so when I look at the photos!  What a feast it was!  There was definitely no room for appetite suppressants, that much I can tell you.  I just wanted to eat as much as I can!  You would, too had you been on my seat at the dining table! Hahaha!

Let me tease you with a photo…

I’m already looking forward to next year’s feast!

My One and Only celebrated his birthday last week, Thanksgiving week.  Hubby’s birthday always makes Thanksgiving week even more special than it already is.  We had a rather simple celebration, just a family dinner accompanied by a bottle of red wine  for hubby and me to share (none for the little girl, of course!).

I always have the hardest time finding hubby a present.  But this year, I knew exactly what I wanted to get him.  Not car accessories, silly!  He won’t enjoy it until January though…which is when we say hello to Kobe.  And no, I don’t mean the beef.  Hee hee.

Wherever you are, whether you’re enjoying your myrtle beach vacation rentals or basking in the glorious sun in a tropical island somewhere, I hope you take a moment to count your blessings.  I do…always!  And there’s just too much, too many blessings to be thankful for.  The best part?  The best is yet to come!  Now ain’t that grand?

Thank you, God, for the many wonderful blessings and miracles you untiringly bestow upon us every day.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

There’s a reasonable explanation why I’m posting a photo of our Christmas tree from last year….it’s the last quarter of the year!  Back home in the Philippines, one can hear Christmas carols being played on the radios, at the malls, and practically at every nook and cranny of the country as early as the first day of September.  We have the longest Christmas season!  Hee hee.  And I love it!  See,

Around this time, Filipinos abroad are already busy cramming balikbayan boxes with presents for loved ones in the Philippines so that these boxes can be received in time for the holidays.  It’s just too bad that this year, the Christmas spirit was dampened a little because of the recent calamity that hit the country.  Aside from opening the usual boxes full of Christmas presents, people back home will be using box cutters to open boxes full of relief goods as well.  Through this sad ordeal, there’s something good that we all should be happy about… and it’s realizing that the bayanihan spirit is still very much alive in each and everyone of us. Christmas decorations always lift up my spirits.  I hope the above photo does for you, what it does for me.   Mabuhay!

My left hand…

My right hand…

They couldn’t be happier.  Hee hee!  They got some free, take not, FREE, pampering last Tuesday at a posh spa tucked somewhere at Austin’s high-end mall, The Domain.  It’s the equivalent of the Philippines’ Greenbelt 4, Bonifacio High Street and Serendra.

This manicure costs $35!  Man, I wouldn’t pay that amount of money for a manicure!  Hahaha!  Anyway, I had quite a chatty lady do my nails.  Much as I wanted to just sit there, I listened attentively to her stories about her recent trip to the beach, Mother’s Day, heck, even rv parks!  Hee hee!

Now, the question is, where can I get a free pedicure?
