Welcoming 2012, New Year's Eve, A Retrospective

Looking forward to a great 2012! I am posting some of my family's pictures which took place this New Year's Eve and just this morning. Yep I should welcome my blog with a new post seeing I haven't created one on how we celebrate New Year (and also haven't written one lately. I've been quite busy). 

I don't really want to write about something serious so I'll just photo blog so kindergartens could understand too. :p

New Year's Eve. We celebrate it always on Sta. Maria Bulacan, and with relatives from my father's side of the family. I am actually impressed with my dad's brothers and sisters as they are always helping each other out and really stick with each other. Most of them are also, let's just say got the "good life" but they've always kept their feet on the ground. Some of my mom's brothers and sisters can learn a thing or two about being family because they're not as tight as my dad's. I'm proud to say that most of what I am, I got from my father who is really a kind, generous man and family oriented. :) 

There's a fountain to our left which explains the light but I guess it's not shown here. This is my dad's side of the family.


My mom is the one wearing a yellow shirt and my dad's the one on the middle with Tita Carmen, Matt and Chris. Seriously they're like kids here!
Well looks like some are drunk! That's Tito King waving with some of my dad's good friends, Mariano and Mang Totoy.  Tito Vic is the  one on the left wearing an orange collar.

My brother's not here right now. He celebrated with his "In Laws".


Yes we know how to do festive. :p I think I gained 2 lbs just eating at this very evening.

After all the the eating and fireworks last night, there's more eating when you wake up! This time with Emerson's (my cousin) family and the Sesbreno family (or should I say clan! I think more than 20 people came! :P) visited for lunch. They are my mom's very good friends. :) I think they've been friends since her childhood. 

Emerson's tres Marias daughters. My brother and I are the youngest in terms of  the Dy's niece and nephews. So these girls here are my nieces but I'm only older by around a decade. I even have nieces/ nephews who are older  than me! But I don't really know them and they have their own new year. Those who reside at Ayala Alabang. The super rich kinds.
Yeah we had lunch near the pool table as we always play billiards then Blackjack afterwards. It's a showcase of our Billiard "PRO Moves". :P
Let me show you one of my "PRO moves". I am the MASTER PRO! LOL. 
I can sense already that 2012 is the beginning of my continuous good fortune, Happy New Year Everyone! Our time allotted is not limitless so let us enjoy each fleeting moment and make it count! Life is too short to worry about the future because opportunities lie ahead to those who take on challenges. Stumble but don't fall. Cheers to a great year and more to come! Good vibes for everyone! And also, despite all your accomplishments, keep your feet firm on the ground always. :)

PS. I know I already posted the above phrase on my FB wall but I thought I should include it here. Besides this isn't plagiarism as it came straight from me. :P
