I went to Deb's Memorial Day BBQ... the first unofficial day of summer! It was a great day to spend out by the pool! I'm looking forward to many more of these days! :)

On a separate note, this blog has been up for about a year now! Can you believe it? It's been such a joy to share my photo(s)-a-day with you all, and it's also wonderful to know that I have my entire 24th year archived on here! It's really something! I've been debating whether or not I should continue posting a photo-a-day... Or I may even just take a break for awhile. We'll see... I guess I'll make the official decision on my birthday which is only a couple of days from now! Please feel free to give me some feedback! I love hearing from you all! I hope you all enjoyed this long weekend, and I hope that the sunny days continue!

PS. I miss my Snickers dearly! :( She left me today.... My sister took this while they were en route to Georgia! My house feels empty without her.

I got a cupcake at Baked & Wired at Georgetown after brunch! [Georgetown Cupcake had the craziest line of life]. I got the Karen's birthday cupcake and it was absolutely delightful! You all must try it if you can! ;)

I hope all the moms out there had a great Mother's day! I thought it was lucky to find a Mama Duck and her ducklings on the Georgetown canal on Mother's Day! :)

Happy Mother's Day to my Mommy! And happy birthday to my Nanay! Love and miss you both! ♥

I hope everyone had a happy Easter!

And by the way... those aren't Easter eggs!

It's so hard for me to get up early in the morning, but clear skies like this make it all worth it!

Hope you all had a Happy St. Patty's Day!

Love is in the air...

I got this valentine from one of my classmates and I just love it! ... Partly because I've recently started calling Snickers "Love Bug"... hehe!

So for Valentine's Day, my girlfriends and I are doing a secret valentine underwear exchange (I know... I have cute friends...). Here's what I got my valentine ;) I wonder who this could be for..... hehe ;)

New Year's Day celebrating...!

December 31st, 2009

New Year's Eve!!!!!!! WahhoooO!

[A crazy game of scrabble... we obviously didn't play by the rules, hehe]

[2009... woo... hoo...]

[2010!!!! Yeeeeaaahhh!!! haha]

With April just after midnight!

(By the way, my polka dots are on my legs... I was wearing polka dotted tights) ;)

Although I didn't have family close-by, it's always nice to ring in the new year with great friends and good people! I'm so excited for what lies ahead in 2010!!!

December 25th, 2009 - Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I sure did! :)

[My sister and her husband with their "his" and "her" blankets that I got for them. I figured they should take advantage of all the naps they can get before Baby Gaga arrives.. ]

[Here's my nephew, Ariston, trying on his dad's new shoes. He's so silly!]

Our Christmas dinner prepared by Ate` Tish, Ate`, and me :)

It included lumpia shanghai, ham, pancit, fried rice, mashed potatoes, turkey, and an apple pie (not pictured). I really had a nice, homey, happy Christmas... it's always nice to be around family. We are all very excited about Christmas 2010, though! My parents and Melanie will be back stateside, and we'll have a new addition to the family.. can't wait!

And for my last favorite Christmas movie scene... My sister and I were watching A Christmas Story as we prepared our holiday meal. I love that I can look forward to watching this movie every Christmas Day.

My sister, Snickers (and her scary eyes), and me on Christmas Eve!

A Merry, merry Christmas to you and yours ♥

A belated Happy Thanksgiving! :)

I'm thankful for many things, but I'm especially thankful for Snickers

(she's my best friend these days)...

... and this little butterball here. (I got him that outfit!)

It's so funny just how kids can instantly put a smile on your face. He never fails to put one on mine :)

The Thanksgiving feast prepared by the Villanueva's :)

I couldn't take as many pictures as I would've liked, but I'm happy that I got to capture what I could. Thanksgiving is certainly different without my whole family around and my Dad's extensive menu, but I was sure happy to spend it with my brother and his family :)

I am incredibly thankful, though, that I got to see my family recently, for good friends, and for sunshine... the list is endless, really.
