I badly need online backup for my pictures. As friends have told me over and over again, to date, I still haven’t gotten one. What else is new? I am Miss Procrastinator for nothing you know.

Anyway, let me share with you first part of our HK Trip pics. We started the year traveling, could it mean we’ll be traveling whole year round?

Our PAL flight last January 1 was at 8am so we were at the airport an hour and a half before that time. It was so hard to wake up as we stayed late for our fireworks.  We managed to not be late though or else the husband will throw a fit, hehe. Jon has this thing for being on time – ALWAYS.

Flight went smooth and we were in HK in no time.

My charge and his charge. Kanya kanya kami, haha!

Off we went to Marco Polo Gateway Hotel after…

As soon as we got home from Tayma’s (Jon’s lola) house for our Christmas Eve dinner, we made the kids open their gifts from Santa. Other presents were opened the next day before we leave for Pampanga. Sophia had all the stuff on her wishlist of course and needless to say, she was ecstatic! Here are photos of the kids in their pjs opening their gifts.

As for me, I guess I’ve been good all year round too as Santa granted my wish also! A home insurance finally! I’ve been wanting to get one for the longest time now. How about you guys?  What did Santa drop off on Christmas Eve?

Sometime last month, Jon took Sophia and I to his new farm – Creekview Stock Breeding Farm. Still a work in progress but there was a surprise for the little girl that got her so excited (and me too!) You see, Sophia has this fascination over tree houses so the daddy had one made just for her. It still wasn’t one hundred percent done by the time we were there but it didn’t matter, the simple the better, no Minka lighting needed actually. The little girl was ecstatic! Now she has every reason to go to the farm with daddy every chance she gets.
