December 7 - Sunday, this is a special for Filipinos around the world, because today is the day of Pacquiao - Dela Hoya Dream Match. As any other Filipinos, we choose to stay home and wait for the telecast of the match. We are lucky to have a free live telecast from our cable service provider which, others will have to watch from cinemas, cofee shops, bars and others will go to the municipal stadium to catch it live.
My husband, I and my son cheers for our Filipino fighter, eventhough it is obvious that the opponent is bigger and taller.
For fun sake, my husband and I made a bet, I am for Manny and he will will be for Oscar. The loser will bathe our son daily. At the end of the fight I won, I am happy because I used to bathe my son everyday, now my husband will take over with the task starting tomorow.

December 6 - Decorating for Christmas
December 6, Saturday, later in the afternoon, we decided to decorate our Christmas tree. Our tree was been there for almost five years, and we do not have plans of replacing it with a new one. Well, as long as it still stands and serves it purpose, replacing it is an additional expense; and it also has a sentimental value because we bought it from a friend.
Claire and my husband already washed the tree and the accessories yesterday and all we have to is to assemble the tree. After completing the tree, we put the Christmas balls and the ribbons on it. We also added the new ribbon I bought and the new Christmas lights, although our old Christmas lights is still working, it has few busted bulbs and we cannot find replacements because most of the available now in the market is the LED type.
After that we reserved the placing of the Christmas star to our son. We still do not have any gifts under the tree because my Christmas shopping is still not yet finished.

December 1 - Cai's First Birthday
December 1, Monday, we do not have work while Adrian also don't have to go to school, it is because the November 30 holiday (Bonifacio Day) which falls on a Sunday was moved to the next working day.
We spent the morning watching DVD of Lord of the Ring, while we have a birthday party to attend on the afternoon. At around 1 pm, Ate Cris sent a text message if I can look after Kyla this afternoon. She has to go to the market to buy some necessities for her store. She usually asks Ate Maricel to do the favor because she lives on the subdivision beside her, (maybe Ate Maricel has something to do, or maybe they are already out). I answered back that we will attend to a birthday party, she suggested if we can bring Kyla along with us. Well, that would not be a problem, so I told her to that we will pick up Kyla at 2pm.
The clown presentation just started when we arrived at the venue. Adrian and Kyla join the kids watching the clowns do the tricks.
When the bring me game started, Adrian is carefully listening to what the clown has to say. When he heard to bring a beautiful mommy, he was pulling me and begging to me to go the clown. Well, he managed to bring me but another mommy is already there.
After the games were over, and the birthday favors were given; we told the hosts that we have to go home. They do understand because we have to go to work tomorrow.

November 30 - Shopping for Christmas Gifts
November 30, Sunday, my husband returns from work at 10am. He rested for few hours and wakes up at 12nn to have lunch. At around 1pm we leave and went to Alabang to shop for Christmas gifts. It is already late for usually we do our Christmas shopping at mid November. My husband is a little worried because of my condition. I told him that I feel better now because of the whole day rest yesterday.
At 1:30pm we arrived at Festival Mall Alabang, we had hard time looking for parking slot. After patiently waiting for few minutes, we saw a car going out. Luckily there is no other car waiting except us, so we had the freed up space.
We went directly to second floor where the kid section stalls were located. At first I had to checked one stall at a time and finally found a nice store, I bought 12 items at that store. After that we went to another store and bought 3 items, and then to another store and bought only 1 item.
After that there were still remaining items on my list, but Adrian wanted to have a snack. All Food stalls were fully packed with people so my husband decided to just take out some donut and his favorite steamed corn, while he asked Claire to buy french fries. We went to a vacant corner were there are no people standing by and had our quick snack.
After that we had to finished our shopping, we went to other few more stalls but found nothing that fits our budget and of course the quality that we are looking for.
Then we decided to went to the department store hoping to find more selections, but we were dismayed to see pile of people at the counter. Then I told my husband to go home and to continue our shopping next weekend.
We drop by at HotShots to have their famous grilled burgers. It is Adrian's first time to eat burger. He only ate half of his burger, but at least he tried. He just enjoy the potato fries and chips. After that we went home.

He took his nap while me and my son watches DVD of his favorite movies, (Finding Nemo and The Cars). my son wakes his father at around 2pm, because they will go to a birthday party. I am not feeling well so I am not going with them. Luigi is the only child of my husband's friend Chitorb. I already meet him several times, but I have not see his son and wife. My husband asked me for the last time if I really don't want to go with them. I really not feeling well, it is because I am feeling dizzy and I always feel that I am going to throw up. I should rather stay at home and rest.
