this album will depict the christmas weekend - friday 24th to sunday 26th, that we had and how it temporarily took away our longings and yearnings for a home grown christmas while we drowned in the fun and laughter.
Merry Christmas!
worship @ ECB there were 3 services on the night of the
24th: 6, 7 & 8pm. all of us were on duty that day and we made sure that we
got off from work to make it on time to ECB through the friday rush traffic
candle lighting. when you know the exact reason for the
celebration of Christmas you will forever be humble.
tears flowed more than once throughout the ceremony.
from ECB to Central World Ratchaprasong... ...and this is
where the test of humility commences. most good eating joints were full. One
even refused us saying that they ran out of food due to the unusual turnout of
customers.
goofing around with some props... Kailee didnt know that all
the time she was running around with lolo in pursuit... she was actually
killing time, and I loved it. hahaha
finally after 1 hour and a half we get served at Manhattan
Fish Market. Honestly this was a marathon on patience and the delicious meal
was the price. Kailee won!!
..we can say grace. Kathy, Jag and Zaldy were part of the
family this time.
Saturday the 25th... at the river resort of the owner of
Yanhee. This place has been the official pinoy employees christmas celebration
venue for the past 4 years.
went around the place while the party was being prepared.
most of the employees were still in Bangkok. They would arrive after 6 pm.
some ants preparing for a party, maybe
christmas decor dancing around

met this spider oblivious of Christmas
that's the pathway around the farm
the sun sets and the mood changes...
Nativity scene with Mary and Joseph. the manger was an
igloo...
a special number... the youngest singer knew the lyrics by
heart and she was taking her role very seriously.
the shepherd with his 'sheep'
the whole Bethlehem scene.
a dance number by the red team
sky lanterns culminated the party
Moreno family's latern ready to go
what a beautiful sight! after this a bus load of pinoys left
for bangkok... some had to get back to work. about 30 people remained.
and then the best part starts!!
we had a videoke and a lot of brewed stuff and spirits to
last till morning.
champ was the youngest guy up.
balong in a heart-rendering song dedicated to his
father-in-law.
the sound system of 4 big speakers was turned on full blast
to guarantee that all those inside the bedrooms could not sleep.
macho dancers and one fan.
4 am and you could expect some romance...
and some sleep dancing too..
that's when suppressed feelings are let loose
and the vision gets blurred.
the morning after. Thank you Jesus! you are the reason for
all our fun and celebration and we give you all the glory and the praise!!
