Merry Christmas everyone.


I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All i want for christmas
is you...

I don't want a lot for christmas
There is just one thing i need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stockings
There upon the fireplace
Santa Clause won't keep me happy
With a toy on christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even ask for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the north pole for Saint nick
I won't even stay awake to
hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause i just you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for christmas is you
You...

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh i don't want a lot for christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for christmas is
you

PANDANON - island getaway.

Wow. Amazing


We went to this little island last Sunday for our team building and I have to say.. the place was just amazing. Getting there was a bit drag though- an hour and a half by boat from our jump off point somewhere in Mactan Island. From what I gathered from my endless research on the internet, Pandanon Island is not part of Cebu province but under Bohol's jurisdiction. Upon reaching the island though, we totally forgot our frustrations about the travel. It was sooo worth it. We had the island to ourselves at first although later on some Korean tourists came along too, but they didnt bother us except for the time when raymond was grilling those yummy slabs of pork belly :p. Probably they cant resist the mouth-watering aroma so they keep on looking at what Raymond's cooking.

So there, getting back to my blabbers at how beautiful the place is, the island also features a quaint little chapel. Hmmm..a perfect setting for a perfect wedding. The island also boasts an endless sandbar where we had a great time taking pictures of the aqua blue waters, the pristine white sand and of course, pwede bang wala kaming pics? We really had a blast having our pictures taken especially those jump shots. Gaaaaahh. Even Chesca, Raymond and Win could not resist. I could not count how many times we had to jump and leap and then bounce and dive and then jump some more just to capture that perfect jump shot. Nadrain lagi ang battery sa cam, dah lagi. But oh boy, did we have a blast! Here are some of those perfect and not so perfect jump shots.

World AIDS Day.

Photobucket



Today we also celebrate World AIDS Day. And so I can at least contribute in spreading AIDS awareness and prevention, let me share some important facts about AIDS.
  • AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a collection of illnesses caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), a virus that attacks the immune system.
  • The first World AIDS Day was celebrated last December 1988 thus making today its 20th birthday.
  • As of today 33.2 million people worldwide are HIV positive. 15 million of these are children under 15 years old.
  • HIV cannot be passed through kissing, coughing, sneezing or spitting. Furthermore a person cannot be infected with HIV through toilet seats, swimming pools, or shared facilities or utensils.
  • AIDS has no cure. They say that prevention is better than cure but in this case you really have no choice because there is no cure.
HIV prejudice is often the result of ignorance about how HIV is passed on and unfounded fear of becoming infected. So talking about HIV and finding out the facts can help. So spread the news, not the virus and help save lives.

December na

December 1 na. Yeeeyy. Now Christmas is really just around the corner. 24 days before the most wonderful time of the year. Well for me that is. There's just something about the month of December that makes me so...happy. In the true sense of the word :p December 1 definitely officially opens the season of giving and I cant wait to be part of it especially the giving and errr, the receiving of course.
