December 25, 2013 birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ and at the same time it is the 3rd death anniversary of our Kuya Ric. During this month all of our family members has their own way of remembering him the only common denominator we have is that it is still painful.
Truly Christmas was never the same without Kuya Ric. However, we cannot spoil this day cause we know when he was around he always wants it to be full of joy and love and it's Jesus Christ's birthday what's not to celebrate. So we decided to make this year a Merry Christmas in our own way.
As I will show you how we celebrated Christmas I will also tell you my grown up Christmas List.
We attended the Christmas mass first then we headed to our grandparents house and ate dinner and decided to took our Christmas photos since we were almost complete. What I mean by we were almost complete was all of my cousins who are in the Philippines are present except for my sister who had her church service during that time.
After eating we asked Nanay and Tatay to have a picture taking with us this is our Christmas pictures.
Of course we will never forget to do the famous look up pose cause Nanay and Tatay are Ryzza Mae's fan.
My First Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that these teenagers will be guided properly to dream and to make it happen. I pray that they will be successful in everything that they will do especially with their future career. I hope that they always know that we are here to support them and to guide them and to help them to be the man and woman that they want to be. I also hope that they understand that sometimes scolding is necessary for them to learn we only do that cause we love you and we want what is best for all of you. It is true that you learn from your mistake but it is wise to learn from someone else's. I hope that you all grow closer to God.
I took the photos of the boys with Haydee cause they are from the same age group :)
My Second Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that God will guide us to build our career especially now that we are on our 20's. I know that we are still testing the waters. I pray that we will be able to find our way to success and be more financially independent I know that we will be able to do this with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that we were able to find our true love may be you already have yours but for me I will take my time and I will take it slow cause I know he's worth the wait.
Of course the girls has their photos too. We are our Tatay Noling's princesses.
My Third Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that no matter what happen. No matter where life will take us. I pray that we always find our way back to this home where we first felt loved. Family will always be family even if there are misunderstandings I pray that we always find forgiveness in our hearts.
Then we had our group picture.
Another famous pose from 2013 "bawal ang sad dapat laging happy".
My Fourth Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that God will give us more time, more birthdays, more Christmas and more New Year with them. I am not yet ready to let go of them. Please more Lord God give us more years to spend with them. I pray that they will have good health and carefree days.
Of course Nanay and Tatay had their moment. We were teasing them saying "kiss..kiss.." and Tatay attempted to kiss Nanay but she was too shy to do it in front of us. But it is so obvious that Nanay and Tatay still has the kilig factor :)
Christmas Eve
My Fifth Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that my sister will be successful in her career. I wish her all the happiness she deserves and I wish to spend more quality time with her and my brother. I know that she is a wonderful young lady and she can make her dreams come true. I pray that God will guide her along the way and to not make it too hard for her. I pray that she will not learn things the hard way and that she learned from my mistake and not do the same mistakes I did. I wish that she is always safe especially every time she goes home late. I wish that she can graduate on time and that she will pass her board exam (take one).
Since she doesn't have photos earlier this part of my blog is dedicated to my sister. She made sure to take a lot of photos that night.
We even decided to make a music video cause we were so happy. I will post that video in this Blog soon.
Ricky Boy, Haydee and Harold stayed over that night in our houses and decided to have a movie marathon. They watched Insidious while I tried to sleep cause I don't like horror films. They did not sleep that night then they went home around 6:00 am.
Christmas Day
My Sixth Grown Up Christmas List
I pray that Kuya Ric is already with God and that he already find the peace he always wanted. I pray that you help us be more strong everyday. I pray you help Calvin to recover and Mommy Else to move on.
I woke up late that day cause I slept around 5:30 am. I visited Kuya Ric in the cemetery that afternoon and stayed there until 8:00pm
My Seventh Grown Up Christmas List
I wish that Mommy Else will be able to move on I know it is hard for her but I wish that God will give her strength to go on and be happy again. I hope God will give her peace of mind and good health and please Lord God I pray that you always keep her safe especially when she is on the road. I wish she finds happiness again.
Picture with Mommy Else :)
I am trying to annoy my sister because she's been taking a lot of selfies already. We actually call her selfielord.
" You are forever in our hearts.. We love you to the moon and back.. We miss you"
After our visit to Kuya Ric my mom wanted to go to the Municipal Hall of Cabuyao City to see the Christmas decorations.
This moment was worthy of a picture cause we were like sardines inside my dad's sedan there were 7 of us inside the car and Haydee was the only petite in our group :) You couldn't imagine how pissed my father was cause the car engine always hits the humps.

The Next Day

This one is for my parents for my mom and dad. I pray that they will forever be in love with each other. I pray that no matter what happen even if life is giving them a hard time I pray that they will always have each others back as they always been. I also pray for my parents health Lord God please give them good health and prosperous life. They deserve all the good things that are happening to them thank you Lord for those blessings you gave them and for the trials Lord God please give them enough strength to overcome those.
We went out the next day and decided to bring nanay with us so my dad can treat all of us on a movie date and lunch out. We watched "My Little Bossings" and we ate in Shakey's after that. This was a fun day cause we get to spend the day together and it is our first time to watch movie together.
My Ninth Grown Up Christmas List
Is for our family in Canada for my cousins and titas and titos. Lord please help them survive in Canada please give them enough strength to face all the challenges and Lord please give them your blessings this 2014 for they all deserve it. They've already worked hard and been through a lot in Canada please this time make it easy for them. I pray that my cousins will be successful with their future. Lord please guide them as they grow up and please help them especially when they are confuse. I also pray for Ati and Tita Ina who is with us in the Philippines I wish them both good health and please give tita Ina more strength as she is the one taking care of nanay and tatay and ati.
My cousins in Canada made this they edited our Christmas picture and added theirs to ours so it will look like as if we were together..I hope this year this will happen
