 We always enjoy celebrating with Dad and Mom.  Sometimes we take it for granted and just come as guests…. I can’t begin to imagine what preparation they went through to have Christmas lunch with the family.  It was a Santa theme lunch!

And WOW!! Santa really did come to town! 

We started off with a mass by Father Tito Caluag 

Then the Glee Club of San Juan Nepomuceno School from Malibay, Pasay City, came over and did some carolling for the family.  They are one of the Apostolate schools of the religious of the Assumption

Food catered by Kai.  And finally a photo of the chef, Chef Gilbert Pangilinan 

Dessert spread- a compilation of all the christmas goodies from friends :-) 

Celebrated the Birthday of Lola Glecy, Mio and Mishcka 

And everyone received gifts from Santa

Last December 20, Educare gave out 300 gift bags for the daycare center children.  It was a simple gift giving event.  Thank you to all those who donated in cash and in kind.  Thank you to my family for helping give out the gifts

Last November 27 and 28, 2008, the Transition Class of The Young Learners Collaborative ( YLC )  had a Food Fair. The fair was a culminating activity on the topic “Little Apprentice”. YLC is a school owned and operated by my friend, Tricia Eusebio-Hosaka together with Gina Gloria and Anette Del Rosario.  

The idea was to cook and sell snacks to all the students of YLC and the proceeds of the fair will go to a foundation

They declared a “NO BAON DAY” so that all the kids, parents and teachers could purchase snacks from the Transition Class.

The students were able to raise the amount of  Php 5722.55 which they wanted to donate to the Starbucks foundation:”Spark Hope”.

So, Heart2Heart arranged a meeting for the YLC children and a Starbucks branch near the

school, Tomas Morato branch, last December 17, so the  students could personally donate the money. They requested that a representative from UNICEF be there  to explain to the students where their donation will go to.  What a great idea Tricia!! Thank you for choosing Spark Hope!  Tricia told me that Starbucks matched their donation that day…

When I visited Rachelle in her place, she told me a nice story about her 12 angels.  It was such a sweet gesture by her husband so I asked her to share her story with Heart2Heart 

When my husband & I were engaged, I used to collect angels.  I saw them at a gift shop and liked them and told him.  He apparently saw them too and thought of me even before I told him I liked them.  He then would give me the angels as a surprise for the 12 days of Christmas which they (his Swiss family) observe.  Everyday, I would find the angel unexpectedly, in my bag, in my office drawer, etc.  For 12 days, he surprised me with an angel until the whole collection was complete.  Oh and yeah, before I received the 1st angel, I went to the gift shop and the angels were sold, not knowing he bought them already for me!

The cousins normally meet up in Polo Club for Christmas get together, but this year, Cynthia prepared everything in her house.  Thank you Cynthia for hosting! 

We had our lunch at Cynthia’s garage and all the food was homemade by Cynthia’s Kitchen :-) 

Orange seemed to be the color of the day…so I made sure I took a photo of the “orange people” :-)
