Two and a half weeks ago, it was Christmas. I’ve been busy, busy, busy so I wasn’t able to blog at all! But of course, it’s better late than never, right? As much as I’d love to make individual entries on all of the happenings that you’ll see in this post, I guess the right time for that has already passed. Instead, I’ll be summing up my Christmas week!

First off, me and my block mates decided to do a mock-up Noche Buena which was actually a really good idea. We pretended that it was Christmas Eve and even did a countdown to midnight. Imagine us laughing all the time while trying to ‘beso’ each and every one. The neighbors must’ve though that we were crazy!

My favorite girls: Kaye, Cez & Cams (Empe, you are missed!)

Check out our oh-so-healthy pseudo Noche Buena meal!

The Marketing team of Starbucks had a Christmas dinner at Draft, The Fort Strip. It was quite overwhelming being a part of this team even if it’s only for a few months. Having dinner with them was nice since I get to be with them outside the office. No business talks here!

Due to our Starbucks’ Marketing internship, from being mere school mates, Bea and I became super duper close. I remember our big boss at Starbucks told us, “I think you’re both lost sisters”. Because of this, I also had a pre-Christmas party with her and Sean’s friends. These aren’t the actual photos of our celebration (due to certain reason in which I cannot disclose, haha!) but I would like to think that these are because there’s a giant Christmas tree!

I only met these guys late last year and I can say that there’s never a dull moment with them. Crazy, crazy, crazy!

We were pretty underdressed for Manila Pen because it was unplanned, but what the heck!

Last but not the least, Christmas Eve with family. We weren’t complete this Christmas because most of my Titas are abroad but it was still fun nonetheless.

It was also the first Christmas celebration wherein Sophia was actually awake and aware of what’s happening. The reaction on her face whenever she received gifts and opened them was priceless.

Humongous chicken that seemed bigger than Sophie!

Of course, the best part of it all was the Christmas Kiss :)
