Celebrating Christmas at the National Orthopedic Center

By | Christmas, Educare, For kids, Giving Back | No Comments

 Every year, my friend, Eric, invites me to join his Christmas party.  He has such a kind heart for doing this for the kids every year. Thank you Eric for making many kids happy every Christmas

I was never able to make it till this year.  I have not given much time to my foundation, so I took advantage and joined him in his celebration at the Philippine Orthopedic Center!

Christmas Photo Shoot

By | Christmas, Photography | 3 Comments

My dream came true!!  I have been wishing for a nice family photo.  Thanks to Pam for organizing our family photo for this year.  

Previous entry:  Christmas Family Photos Dec 29, 2011

I believe that a year can never be brought back and we need to have a proper documentation of our family because we will never look the same after every year 🙂

This year, Pam took charge and organized everything – from the outfit, the pegs, the layout, the furniture, the venue, the photographer, making sure we were all made up.  Her first email 🙂 

christmas-photo-shoot-013.jpgchristmas-photo-shoot-01.jpg

Here is our photographer Dix Perez
