The longest xmas is always at Dad and Mom’s  ( Sept – January) Almost half the year!  They are the earliest and the last to celebrate. Last January 14  was still xmas. Sunday family lunch for Taty’s bday with special guests Tito Butch and Tita Bing Bing, Tito Ochie and Tita Malyn @malynsantos Tita Chiqui and Mikko and Denise and kids   Manang Corazon who was our cook since i was 5 years old ( she was 36 yrs old) but left 22 years after 🙁  Even James met her when he was still courting me and she cooked for him when he ate with us, she even gave him baon or when i wanted to send food to him in his house, she never complained. We all LOVE her because aside from cooking so well she never complained – she fed us with LOVE She is now 76 years old and thinner than how she was but still smiling and laughing. We are so happy she came to visit us yesterday during family lunch #h2hpeople #h2htribute #h2hchefs.  I also made Manang Corazon meet my 18 year old chef #chefjavs   Delicious food by @gourmetgarageph especially the Crispy bagnet wrap  #gourmetgarageph #h2hgourmetgarage #h2hsundayfamilylunch  A MUST ORDER IN EVERY CATERING!  Crispy Bagnet wra  Baskin Robbins Birthday cake 🙂 for Taty

Xmas lunch with the Gumamelas !  @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @lauralimrodrigo@bbtambunting @tlacson @bearevloc@gillcab at Epicurious @epicuriousph in @shangrilaplazaofficial East Wing mall to support #h2hacbatch87 batchmate Joey @johannarcarpo ! It’s a nice place – quiet and wholesome. They have meals to go, deli items, cheese, a cooking school and you can choose anything and they can cook it for you for a small fee. It was good. Same owners of @cravings.philippines and @ccamanila#epicuriousph #h2hgumamelas
 So happy to have Triccie home for the holidays with her two beautiful daughters Karina and Sara

You can’t imagine the planning we had before today on what theme or what color to wear ! haha!!  Its a good thing it fell into place and after thinking of where we were going to take the photo – no problem – so many photogenic spaces in Rustan’s @rustansph in @shangrilaplazaofficial We saw a sign in front that Pottery Barn @potterybarnphwas in the 3rd floor – so what cozier spot than there!! We took photos in 3 areas.  We LOVE  taking photos but really to us the fun part is the planning and the photo sessions itself. Super fun, super funny and just altogether fun!  We have not been complete since we were 2nd year highschool – so this is a major event for the Gumamelas ! @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @gillcab @bearevloc@bbtambunting @lauralimrodrigo We waited for Triccie @tlacson to arrive from the States and so the 8 Gumamelas are complete for xmas !! #h2hrustans#h2hgumamelas #h2hxmas
