2015 has been a wonderful year filled with great memories. God’s grace overflows, blessing my family with life full of joy and hope. Below is some of my year end review.
January
Joy to the world! We spent our New Year 2015 at home surrounded with our families in the Philippines. After clock turned 12:00 jump and made noise shouting “Happy New Year!”, we gave angpao for parents and Toblerone chocolate from Duty Free I keep for Mama. We also had a family gathering in Pansol, Laguna. This was our family’s first time to spent overnight swimming in hot spring resort.
We also attended my boss wedding, our first time to witnessed wedding in Singapore.
February
The sweetest month considered the month of love. We spent Valentine’s Day at home and had dinner outside. We celebrated Chinese New Year of Sheep with my cousin and her boyfriend. We had a chance to explore Chinatown and visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Chingay 2015, themed “We Love SG” in Marina got very beautiful decorations too.
March
Mother, God’s wonderful gift. March is our mother’s birthday month! My Mama Ging celebrated her 50th birthday and EJ’s mom 47th birthday. We spent the night chatting with them, thanks for the power of technology thru Skype and Facebook video call it helps us get in touch every day being away from home.

September

Had a great time in Barcelona and Paris. Attend another boss wedding, first time to witnessed Indian wedding at the temple.
November

Overall, I’m so thankful, indeed, everyday God’s blessing and mercy bestowed upon us in every aspect of our life. I’m thankful for I have family who’s always there for me no matter what. I’m thankful.
Thank you all for a wonderful year! Hello, 2016!
