Since it’s Christmas, being the busiest time of the year, Pixelbug Weekend will be on a Holiday Break!

Although, this is actually against my will but my schedule is getting crazier each day…. Pardon me for the late announcement If you are already done with your post, you may leave your link by commenting and I will visit each one within the week.

From my family to yours, may you have a new year filled with joy and harmony and a blessing of a hundred fold…I hope you all enjoy your family’s New Year’s Celebration! I will see you all on January 4…. Mwah!

“It is better to give than to receive.” Iyan ang motto ko at ng aking pamilya tuwing pasko. Kaya naman sa laki ng pamilya ng asawa ko ay mukha kaming santa claus tuwing araw ng pasko. Heto ang mga regalo sa ilalim ng aming Christmas tree, ang iba ay napamigay na. Ang mga iyan ay bubuksan mamayang gabi pagkatapos ng noche buena.

Pero syempre huwag nating kalimutan ang pinakamahalagang regalo na ibinigay sa ating lahat … ang pagdating ni Hesus sa mundong ito upang tayong lahat ay iligtas.

Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat at nawa’y patuloy kayong biyayaan ng ating Poong Maykapal!

Christmas is indeed a time for shopping however, it is also a chance for you to grab all the possible earning opportunities. This weekend, I was fortunate to get a place in a small bazaar. The prospect of earning a little cash was quite appealing. I thought of selling my baked goodies, maybe I can chance upon someone who may want to order for their Christmas gift giving, who knows? My kids also took the opportunity and wanted to sell their old clothes, or whats left of it –since most of it was donated to the recent typhoon.

It was the first time for me to sell old clothes since my hubby is not a fan of selling second hand items. His philosophy is to give what you do not use, which is a noble cause if I may say. But then, I was able to convince him telling him that I also wanted the kids to experience how to earn their own money. An entrepremom raising entreprekids.

So it was a weekend at the bazaar but instead of shopping for goods we were the ones selling. The turnout was quite okay for first timers like us. Most importantly the kids enjoyed the stint and learned a thing or two in selling. Here are my kids with my daughter’s friend and my house help.

LP : HUDYAT (A sign that Christmas is near..)

Excited ako ngyong linggo dahil nagbalik na ang Litratong Pinoy. Maligayang Pagbabalik, LP! Sa pagbabalik ng LP, Hudyat ang tema.

Ang malamig na hangin, ang mga kumukutitap na mga ilaw at nagagandahang mga Christmas Tree ang naghuhudyat na malapit na ang Pasko. Tulad na lamang sa aming tahanan kung saan maaga akong nagtayo ng Christmas Tree para sa mga bata… para sa akin kasi ang Pasko ay para sa mga bata. Ngunit paran sa inyong lingkod ito ang pinakapaborito kong panahon, kaya feeling ko pasko palagi.

(I am so excited this week because Litratong Pinoy is back. Welcome back, LP! And for their comeback, the theme is SIGN or SIGNAL.

The chilly weather, the beautiful glittering lights, and those lovely Christmas trees adorned with captivating ornaments is a sign that Christmas is near. At home, I always make sure that I put up the tree early for the kids. Christmas is mostly for children. Although for me since this is my favorite time of the year, I feel Christmas everyday.)

Weekends before a big exam are always spent at home, that is our rule. As a mom, I try not schedule any activity during these weekends so the kids can concentrate on reviewing their lessons. Although it is a long weekend, a road trip would have been fitting but I am not complaining. I also want this much needed rest to regain my strength and to prepare myself for a very busy month.

In the photo below, my son is doing a mock up exam I have prepared. LOL! The poor guy woke up very early last Saturday to finish his Kumon and do one of the mock up tests.

Weekend was not as dull as it seems, it was actually an exciting one for me. Hubs and I went out to buy his early Christmas gift for me…. my new TOY!

Now, I just finished transferring my files to my backup hard drive and enjoying my new toy. Super duper thanks to my Hubs! Mwah!

What about you? How did your weekend go? Share it with us …

Yes, Christmas will be here next month. We’re just counting days and everywhere you go, it’s really beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Just like the song — toys are in every store, Christmas trees in the parks and the hotels. And of course, the malls are already dressed up for the season, just like the photo below.

Christmas trees, ornaments, decors and Santa’s are already on sale…

As for me, since I do not work anymore, I am trying to beat the holiday rush by buying Christmas gifts very early. I have started to wrap some of those gifts and placed it under my Christmas tree.

Christmas is truly my favorite time of the year, and for that I consider myself a Christmas girl!

This weekend was a breather from our usual mall or trips, we simply stayed home. Although it’s not really a break from the busy routine. I took this chance to perform a general cleaning at home which prepares the house to be adorned with Holiday decorations.

Personally, the most important piece of adornment for Christmas is the Nativity. It reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas — depicting the simplicity of the Lord’s birth.

Last Saturday, Halloween celebrations in our village were toned down due to the recent calamities that hit the country. I just decided to bake Halloween cupcakes for the kids.
