GOODBYE 2009

2009 for me was filled with many ups and downs. On the other hand, it was still a great year because i have the love and support of my loved ones. I wish for an even better 2010 for everyone.

Herr are some random photos from Christmas and New Year ^_^ (picture heavy)

CHRISTMAS

Jambalaya cooked my my cousin Marie. It was seafood heaven with every bite. It has chunks of crab meat inside ^_^ I had it the next day for breakfast.

Shrimp Spaghetti Alfredo for the kids.

CHRISTMAS DAY

I had a fun little makeup session with my friends Melissa and Patricia. I only used whats inside my lil makeup bag, which is not a lot.

Melissa with her cute bangs ^_^ I did a thick line using an eyeshadow around her eyes to define her eyes.

Patricia wanted smokey eyes and nude lips ala Kim K. I used concealer and clear lip gloss for her lips.


A gift from Melissa and Patricia. Thanks girls!!


A Victoria Secret's sleep wear, Sephora lig gloss and giftcard and a Caboodle train case from my cousin Mary Anne. Thanks ate!! I really love it ^_^

NEW YEAR's EVE

I did a glittery blue eyes and pink lips to match my blue sequined barett. I used lip gloss to make the glitter stick to my eye lids.




with my nieces ^_^


My lil nephew Oliver with his new wheels. It really works!


His sisters were test driving his new wheels lol.

Coins and rolled paper bills for our "pasabog/paagaw" tradition.


After midnight, we rolled oranges inside the house and my cousin throwed money in each room of the house. Then everyone went crazy trying to get the most money. Pushing is allowed lol. Its supposed to give financial luck for the whole year.

I only got a little bit since I was taking lots of photos.


See...even my nephew got some lol. He got the most paper bills.

Our beautiful fruit platter.

Shrimp linguini with basil and olive oil for the kids.


Roast beef cooked to perfection by my cousin Marie.

Shrimps cooked in butter and baked scallops.

Each cup has 13 grapes with sparking cider for good luck.


The next day, the family went to Wrightwood to go tubing.

Snow Tubing:  is a recreational activity of riding an inner tube, either on water, snow, or through the air. The tubes, themselves, are also known as "donuts" or "biscuits" due to their shape. (http://www.wikipedia.com/)






So much fun!!!!

HAPPY 2010!!
