Looking Back at an Extreme 2016

Image
2016 was not a ten-minute roller coaster ride. It's more like riding vintage ship sailing for months on the unpredictable open sea. There were times enemies overtake and you have to fight for your life. There's loss, but there were also times when you enjoy the stillness of the ocean and the peaceful night sky (while still hydrophobic) . At least that's how I picture it.

Christmas 2016 | Noche Buena in the Hospital

We finished decorating the church auditorium around 4PM in the afternoon of Christmas Eve. We went back to the store so our cashier can go home just in time for Noche Buena. Christmas 2016 | Old School Promotion Work It's a Filipino tradition wherein families stay up late to feast in the midnight of December 25. It's a big deal for us Pinoys to put out the best celebration-worthy meal for our families. You can say it's the local equivalent of Thanksgiving here in the Philippines. image from PIXABAY

Christmas 2016 | Old School Promotion Work

First Christmas as husband and wife.  We're further away from tradition this year because of certain circumstances - December 25 falling on a Sunday, and Tatay spending Christmas in the hospital. Not the most ideal holiday ambiance, but we're thankful nonetheless. We are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, not the traditions. Responding to Stroke | The First Few Days We used a steam iron to "erase" wrinkles in the cloth. We spent Christmas Eve decorating our church auditorium.

MOVIE REVIEW | Warcraft (2016)

Image
I have two brothers who love PC games, so as you can expect, I played Warcraft and DOTA for a reasonable amount of time before this movie came out. My brother would show me the cg animated short films about the heroes and their respective backstories. I've always admired the detail they put in the game characters. I expected the same with this movie. Let's watch the trailer first! Hubby and I were in the mall when we saw the trailer for the first time. We were like kids drooling over chocolate cake. We really wanted to watch it. It was insane! {SPOILER ALERT} If you haven't watched the movie yet, STOP RIGHT HERE!
