What a beautiful way to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Celebrating as a family the Holy Mass, Family picture taking, noche buena, opening of gifts and bingo games. We all enjoy and celebrate for Jesus. Thank you to Tita Nedy for preparing the food, to Tita Len for organizing the picture taking and the games and to Tita Nena for always working so hard to dress up the occassion. JESUS deserves only the BEST!
Celebrating the Holy Mass…………….
And Noche Buena…………………………..
This is how we celebrate Christmas dinner ( Dec. 24 ) every year with James’ family…. Thanks to Tina for always hosting and preparing everything. We normally have picture taking, then dinner and the most awaited opening of gifts by the kids. This is our first Christmas without Mom, we miss her, but she is always with us in spirit.
The dinner table…………………..
The food………………. We all bring something to complete the Christmas buffet.

Christmas Trees reflect the personalities of the people who own and decorate them. It is so nice to see many different colors and themes. Hopefully Heart2Heart can capture more Christmas trees next Christmas.
My Mom really takes time out to prepare for her friends and family. She is the best host and I really idolize her. She prepared breakfast for her Simbang Gabi group on the last day and we requested for her to extend her breakfast to brunch so we could also enjoy what they had………
The juices became three kinds of fresh juices- melon, kiwi and orange. What an idea and Mom suggested we mix them all into one juice - three seasons….
Everyone probably knows the famous dancing cop….. he stands by the intersection of Mc Kinley Parkway and 5th Avenue as you enter the Fort. Heart2Heart was able to take a few photos of him a few months ago….and is paying tribute to him for inspiring many to find joy in whatever job you are doing at the same time making people happy. Anyone who makes people smile has to be part of Heart2Heart.
And of course, he is all dressed up as Santa for Christmas!
Heart2Heart was invited to be one of the judges together with Malou Pineda of Powerplant Mall, Cecile Zamora ( Chuvaness ) of Philippine Star, Lorraine Belmonte of Mega Magazine, Dolores Cheng of Manprom and Joy Buensalido of Buensalido and Associates.
It was a tough decision since all of them were beautifully done. EVERYONE IS A WINNER for Heart2Heart! CONGRATULATIONS to all who joined the Creche Making Contest! Out of the Top 10 Finalists, the top three were chosen:
1st place
2nd place ( Heart2Heart’s favorite since it had a Rustan’s parol and a Rustan’s shopping bag)
3rd place
The other Top Finalists:
The Finalists all did a great job too. They were all very creative and had great interpretations:
Assumption Malibay Glee Club of Children Grades 1 to 6
Starbucks 6750 Ayala Avenue, Makati December 15, Saturday
Bootcamp 11:30 am/10am class - Weng ( not in photo since she left early), Margie, Katie, Bobby, Mig, Bing, Liza, Ning Ning, Alexie, Ned, Joel and Bina - had a christmas get together. We missed others who could not make it - Marisa, Stella, Roseanne and James. It was nice to have some hubbies join in - Bobby and Joel.
We wanted to celebrate after all the hard work and pain our “puppy trainer”, Ned, made us go through the whole year 
It was potluck so we brought food to share in the buffet. Paella Negra from the “Paella Queen” Margie, barbeque from Roseanne, Iberian Chicken from me, Tiramisu from Liza, Cheeseplate and Canneloni from Katie and Bina. And Thanks to Ning Ning for the Sausage Tortilla and the drinks and for allowing us to use your restaurant, Bistro 110, as our venue. Next time, we hope to try the food from your restaurant. That chocolate dessert was really good
We enjoyed eating and eating as much as we enjoy suffering together at bootcamp!
We are looking forward to bootcamp next year! NOT!!
