Celebrating HOLIDAYS: The Filipino Style!

 This is how we usually celebrate holidays in my family.  We make sure to prepare delicious food in welcoming the most important occasion of the year. Not all people in the world celebrate Christmas. But here in the Philippines, most of the people (like around 90%) make sure that they make the most of it because it's just once a year.

 Mom cooked her very own specialty CALDERETA.

As a neutralizer, I made some vegetable salad because I know holidays are time we tend to eat a lot of meat.

Of course, this native delicacy never fails to attend the occasion.

Spaghetti is overrated so we tried to have Carbonara.

Who wouldn't like sweet like this little mouth watering desert LECHE FLAN!

Another familiar face of the night. BIKO (rice cake in brown sugar and coconut milk)

Barbecue for everyone!

The traditional fruit basket. But ours was kinda different because there's a small head of lettuce on top of it. ^_____^


Basically, December is really the month of celebrating a lot of occasion. From weddings, to christening, to birthdays down to Christmas. I pretty guess all really enjoyed their holidays as we can feel it around our belly. May 2015 be as prosperous to everyone. We may call it a new year but it all down to ourselves if we will make it as good as before.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW LIFE!

FRIENDS IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED!

Nakakatawang isipin na yung mga itinuturing mong kaibigan ay siya pang unang babalewala sa'yo. Well, it's not my lost anyway. Nakakapanghinayang lang isipin na I've wasted my time and effort making friends with people who don't deserve my friendship.

2014 taught me and made me realized a lot of things most especially when it comes to friendship and family. You can call other people "friend", "sister", and other endearments about friendship, but the question is, are you worth of being one to be called that way?

This 2015, I will let go and move on. If one person doesn't want me to be his/her friend so be it. I don't want to live with hatred, frustrations, and disappointments anymore. Nakakawalang gana lang. Sila na nga ang ginagawan mo ng favor but what happens at the end is you are the one hurting.

I promise myself to become happier as I can be with people who appreciates me the way I am and who I am.

LESSON LEARNED: It's not important how many friends you make, but rather how long you can keep the friendship going.
