Christmas 2009

um, how do i start? first off, i guess this year's better simply coz i got to attend more parties than i did last year. i was allowed stay later than usual. downside... the horrors of stressing due to lack of sleep and constant baking of batches and batches of cookies. everything's worth it though. ^_^

december 16, 2009, dmpi christmas party. the truth: it was boring more than half the time, but hey, i'm not complaining. still enjoyed myself. i know, i'm shallow. pics here. i think i got home around 1 or 2 in the morning. can't really remember right.

december 17, 2009, ericsson-dmpi christmas party. was not able to attend this. instead spent quality time... (yes, sadyang bitin) and prepped 4 batches of cookie batter, baked 3. 2 batches for core and a batch for nacm. the last one for habi peeps. still slept late. by late, i mean morning.

december 18, 2009, core networks christmas party. held at marilao, bulacan. kudos to the christmas party committee, especially to alex for planning and organizing the programs and presentations. would like to thank everyone for the "award" i got, too. (here it is... ang bigat ng binubuhat kong bangko... "most desirable queen") glad everyone loved the cookies. have uploaded pics, but too lazy to tag. see here. only part that sucked was the exchange of gifts. everyone was so busy with work that the wishlists came in late. as a result, we passed around P500 worth of GC and/or cash. T_T had a mini farewell for chad and ate nelle, too. not as teary as expected, but ok. left marilao at 1, got home around 2. slept at 3. i think.

december 19, 2009, woke up at 1pm, but pretty soon stress levels back at all time high. needed to wash clothes coz i'm about to run out. washing machine conked out. had to try and fix it... somehow did. simultaneously, i had to prep another 2 batches of cookie batter as ordered/requested by mama's hs classmate. also, in prep for habi christmas party, i had to bake the last batch of cookie batter made on the 17th... realized too late that lpg ran out. didn't know how to change to a new tank. too chicken to keep trying coz the gas kept leaking, and it makes this really loud and scary hissing sound. called jek to ask if i could bake at his house. jek's oven was a bit broken, but still usable. kinda had to estimate the temperature without any kind of measuring device, but hey, the cookies turned out ok. all's well. had a mini photo shoot c/o jek. was real maarte on my pic turn outs. hahaha. will have to wait for jek's uploads. anyway, got home, then had to bake the last 2 batters. real sweet of tan to stay up and wait for me to finish. especially since everything got done around quarter to 4. thanks.

next agenda... rest. ^_^
