This is our new Pedo Patient - Yoomee. New, because our first patient went goners.
Long story.
Plus I shall make a separate post about clinics!

Finally tried out the Butterbeer Frappe!
Turned out that it was only not sure if vanilla frappe with caramel syrup add on.
For the love of Harry Potter, yeah.

There is some kind of Colgate promotion event at school that we were required to attend. At the end of the event, the host asked questions for us to answer and for us to win 5 packs of Colgate products (mouthwash, toothbrush, toothpaste). Due to peer pressure of these friends in the picture, I ran fast to answer a question that made me win those 5 packs LOL. Good thing we were 5 at the moment, no need to argue to whom I will share the prizes :))

Alex aka Miming posing in front of the Aeropostale store.
They send me to condo every Sunday so I can stay there already since it's extremely difficult to commute to Manila on Mondays.

Our batch was assigned with the College lantern for the lantern parade. This pic depicts some of us working for the lantern. It was never all of us who worked, it's always those who only cared. That has been the batch's problem since day 1.
We worked almost a week for the lantern but on this day, some worked overnight (including me) because of cramming since the parade's on the next day.
I am really glad we finished even if only 10 people worked overnight.

This is during the Dent Christmas Party. I felt girly (thanks to my top) and ugly (due to the overnight working on the lantern) at the same time.
This year's Christmas Party is very simple, lunch was packed and the atmosphere is not that Christmassy. But I understand that it should not be celebrated over the top since what happened to Tacloban was really tragic.

It was our (my friends and I) first time to finish the lantern parade program since we started studying in UP which was 4 years ago. Our lantern did not win but at least we were satisfied with it. We, however, won the "Most Colorful" at least :)

At the parade proper I kinda feel sad because the faces around me are unfamiliar anymore. The seniors we were familiar with since the beginning have already graduated. I'm currently in 5th year so definitely a lot are younger than me already and most of them we rarely or never have seen in the college yet. Nonetheless, everyone was actively participating by dancing and chanting out loud in the parade.

My friends and I (we call ourselves Wolfpack) have planned ahead to what we shall do on our own Christmas get-together. Because last year we ate saved up and ate at Yakimix. We are poor. This time we decided to have sleepover at my condo the night after lantern parade and watch movies and eat. The next day we went to Star City.

I am a scaredy-cat when it comes to rides but i have managed to ride at the Viking. LOL. Money is really wasted when I go to theme parks. Like when we went to Universal Studio and Disneyland last 2 years ago.

We are 9 in the group but actually before we came as one we came from 3 different groups. I really love our pack but I guess I should make a special Wolfpack appreciation post. Next time then. :D

We are never home on a weekend. LOL
We shopped a little for gifts at SM North Edsa and my cousin and brother were hunting for a certain shoe. At the end of the day, they don't want to go home yet so we planned to go to see the lights show at Ayala Triangle but we were caught up at a huge EDSA traffic so we U-turned and ended up at Centris Walk. We found the shoe they were looking for there but too bad my cousin has already bought and that the shop was already closed the time we arrived. Booo!

Us 5 in the picture went for a road trip to S&R Pampanga. Well, actually, the day before, we have gone to S&R Congressional. It was my first time at Congressional and it was a lot smaller than Pampanga plus it was jam packed with busy buyers. Anyway, we went the next day to Pampanga because my brother wanted to give his girlfriend's family a cake and he wanted to look for a gift for his girlfriend. We ended up buying a lot for us to feast. We ate pizza and ice cream after at the back of our car after shopping. We continue our joyride to the Nike Factory Outlet at a gasoline stop on our way home. Good thing, my brother and I already know how to drive. Hehe.

We spent the Christmas Eve at Hagonoy. I really love it there. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Our simple Christmas Tree! I've opted for this design because i don't want to see those big blue and orange flowers design on our tree again and I'm left with those small white flowers. I take the responsibility every year to decorate our tree and wrap the gifts.
The second pic is my attempt to do a heart bokeh shot. I kinda succeeded but the heart still looks imperfect. well, at least -_-

This Christmas is different because we neither spend it at Hagonoy nor on our residence. We spent it at Park Place in some village in Cavite. The place is huge and beautiful plus you can do a lot of recreational activities. Some of younger cousins swam, while the older ones sang along karaoke, played table tennis and played on the playground above. I really missed table tennis so, so what if I'm wearing a dress and flats, I still played. LOL. The gift giving and party games started at 3pm. It was a fun fun day just like  every Chrismas <3 p="">
We went to Tagaytay after to visit the Sky Ranch but ended up stuck in traffic and arrived there almost 10pm so nothing happened. T_T


My cousin's iPad mini was set-up to act as Photo Booth and a great great app was used. It can detect a hand wave for the camera to start capturing. Shots here are still nice until....

 We always ended up pushing and blocking one another on photobooths! We are big crazy family like that LOL

Happy Holidays everyone! May we all find peace and happiness :>
