Disneyland

As a present to my brother and his wife, they wanted all of us to go to Disneyland with them, and spend some good family fun together. It was a blast.......cold, lots of people.....but still lots of fun! How could you not have fun at Disneyland, especially during Christmas!.............Thanks Kuya and Ate for the great time.

Exciting!

Swimming

So today, I went to the gym with Steve and we swam for our workout. I swam about 500 meters, which equals to about 20 laps in the pool. What a great workout, need to work on my breathing patterns. Steve was very patient and encouraging. Can't wait for our next session :)

Christmas and Christmas Dinner

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hope everyone got what they wanted!
Maligayang Pasko!

Domesticated

Tried to make chocolate chip cookies today from scratch, first time. Steve and my sis says they are good, they kinda fall apart when you pick them up :). Well, i guess i'll have to keep practicing.

Dec. 22

Can't believe that we just got back on Thursday, and it's just a couple of days till Christmas! I love all the Christmas music, Christmas smell, decorations, etc. Too bad it's not snowing.

Back Home

Just got back home from Hawaii........really miss living there, I thought about missing our flight. But we got on, and we are back in the cold California. We accomplished all that we wanted to on this trip though, so that's a good thing. Lots of wedding planning, appointments, and decision making. It's a lot of fun though ( okay the financial part of it isn't). While doing the wedding stuff we were also able to see our friends, and hang out at old spots and reminisce. Had a blast!......now it's back to reality......and oh yeah.....Christmas is in a couple of days!

Bangkok/Hawaii

After losing in the quarterfinals, we decided that we didn't want to stay in Korat anymore, and have a day or two in Bangkok, and do some sightseeing. After our match, the next morning, we all took a 3 hour bus to Bangkok, checked into our hotel, slept, and the next day started our excursion day.
Our day started at our 6 am wake up call, breakfast, left the hotel by 7:15, and went into our hired van with a driver and drove out to the floating markets......Unbelievable experience! If you can see in the pics, we rode on boats, and went shopping on actual floating markets. Pretty unreal experience! After the floating markets we headed out to the Kings Palace, where if you were wearing a tank top or shorts, you had to rent out long skirts for the girls and pants for the boys. Palace was filled with lots of gold!......we also saw the emerald buddha. After the palace, we headed out to a market that was only open on the weekends, and did the rest of our shopping there. The day did not end there though, after the markets, went back to the hotel, had dinner, and tried to go out, but because it was election weekend, not a lot of "bar" type places were open. But we eventually found one, had a couple of drinks, talked, hung out, went back to the hotel at about 1:30pm, took a shower, packed, and headed straight to the airport. Our flight was at 6 am, with a 6 hour layover in Tokyo airport, and about a 6 and a half hour plane ride to Hawaii.
Yes.....we made it to Hawaii, we got in at about 8 am, had a cake tasting appointment at 12, and another one at 4 ( who never showed up), and now we are all in the hotel, and the gang is knocked out! I myself, am getting there. After this blog, gonna take a nap. Enjoy the pics!

NOT GOOD

Well, what can i say....We lost in three today against Indonesia. Not a good feeling at all. Indonesia played well though, and obviously we didn't play well enough. We lost in the quarterfinals which put us at 7th place.....Not exactly what we wanted to happen. I guess life goes on. What can i say, things happen for a reason i guess.
Thank you to everybody, for all the cheering and support you have given us this year!
It has definitely been a long season for us.....not exactly how we wanted to end the season, but regardless, it's time to take some time off, clear our minds, and get ready for the next year! Again.....Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!
