Christmas Eve dindin...

Similar to the past two years, Christmas Eve dinner for 2013 was held at the wonderful home of Richie and Mon in the East.

As always, it is always wonderful to wait for the arrival of Christmas at their home because of the great food, awesome company and fun games.

This is my third year to spend Christmas outside of the Philippines. Hmm, though I am not spending it with my Mom and two bros, I am still happy because I am spending it with friends who I consider my family here in Singapore. I can't think of spending Christmas with anyone else.

2013 is not my favourite year. I have friends like Rich and Mon, Tipz, Chris, Ian, MkSurf8, RKGreg, PG Boy (of course!), to thank for helping me get through this year. Hehe!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas...

Pasko at Wiley...

A few of the Filipinos at work had a small Christmas gathering today.

And even if it was a small group, there was a lot, a lot of food. Haha!

Alexie brought barbecue and bibingka all the way from Pinas. Paula made Oreo cheesecake. Chris brought ham. Alex brought baked mac. Belle brought pancit. JM brought fruit salad. Syd brought bagnet. I brought roast chicken.

It was a feast! Haha!

Happy Christmas!!!

First Christmas pressie...

I got my first Christmas pressie! Yay!

From the person I didn't really expect to give me a pressie - my flatmate. Hehe!

Yep, there's the third person in the house aside from my landlord. However, I hardly see this other guy because he's always traveling for work. The times that he is here in Singapore, he would either be in his room or he would get home really late and I would already be in lalaland. Hehe!

He is a nice guy though. Malaysian Chinese. My guess is in his 30s. As to whether he's part of the brotherhood or not, I am still confirming. Hehe! Not that it really matters.

I do like him a lot as a flatmate because he is friendly. The few times that we would bump into each other at the kitchen, we would actually talk a bit about work.

The other night, I was doing my stuff at the kitchen and then he suddenly showed up. I thought he was going to use the kitchen or something.

Next thing I know, he passes on the box above and greets me, "Merry Christmas, buddy!" It was really a surprise because I thought he didn't celebrate Christmas.

Oh well, it was really nice of him though. Things like this make it much more difficult for me to consider moving to another place. Hehe!
