Merry Christmas!

Yesterday evening, I heared the Christmas Vigil Mass with Dwight at St. Joseph's Cathedral. Earlier, I cooked pancit and escabeche for the noche buena and got ready by 6:50 pm to hear the 7:15 vigil mass. After the celebration, we went home and ate. Then we got up to the Capitol to have a party with Dwight's relatives. The spaghetti was really delicious. I met Charmaine, an student of mine, way back my first year of teaching at Marcelo Spinola School. After some shots of Emperador, we moved down and shared Tanduay with iced tea at Arturoz's. I was sending this text message I made to some friends:

(that was exactly 160 characters)Today, I woke up around 7 am, took a bath and dressed up for the Christmas Mass at 8:15 am. Kuya Manny had the English songs ready, but because we learned that the medium should be Visayan, JC (kuya Manny's son), the LCD-Laptop operator had to shift from PowerPoint files to another files. Anyhow, the mass was solemnly celebrated. I got home straight and slept a lot. This afternoon, Dwight and I planned our travel tomorrow. We bought the things we need. I went to Daday's place but she wasn't there. She was just home and the kids were there too. I bought home a 105-peso ice cream and the kids ready loved it. Papang was there too. Later, Mamang arrived and gave Dimple and Angel some nice outfits.
