Adele: Live at the Royal Albert Hall

Been waiting for this for months! Finally, I was able to get a copy of Adele's RAH DVD! What a way to end my 2011!

Since its announcement for a November 28 release, I couldn't wait long enough to get my hands on one. Come November, the dvd hasn't arrived in the Philippines yet...aaaarrrgggghhhh! I was heartbroken! I just patiently checked on the record bars every now and then until I finally saw one in Landmark just this December 28! 1 month of waiting but nonetheless, I got one!!!

This is definitely worth the wait! For just P550, you'll actually feel like you've gone to London and watched this live. Every song sends chills down your spine. She's a-m-a-z-i-n-g!

pretty adele on the cover

dvd includes: booklet, dvd and cd versions

So this is how I basically prepared for the new year, watching the DVD endlessly :)

Love this so much!

Militar Nuptials

Yesterday, I got a text from Banana saying, "pwede ka? Baka kasal ko this afternoon, witness ka."

OMG. I wanted to cry. Seriously. I know my sister and I are now wedding converts but this kind of things still gets me!

My banana getting married... It seems as if yesterday, she was only a little girl...hahaha!

More than anything, I just feel extremely lucky to have shared the moment and witnessed their union. It's been a long time coming and it's still as sweet and romantic as you hope it to be :)

To banana and matt, wishing you guys a marriage full of adventure, love and happiness.

Of Sunsets and Santa

For the annual company Christmas party, HQ thought of leaving the crowded metro and headed to sunny Batangas. With only 7 of us celebrating this year, it was more of a barkada outing. It's all about the r & r, baby! Definitely, the perfect way to end a challenging year.

Christmas Cramming

Every year, I promise myself to do better on my Christmas shopping. I hate being caught up in the whole shopping frenzy. The lines, the overcrowding, the traffic and the one time-big time spending! One gift at a time, I say, but still to no avail. Procrastination always gets the best of me and this year was no exception. I'm waaaaaay behind.

Aaaarrrgh! The madness of rushing to accomplish my list...which by the way is still an old school, kubrador kind of list my sister laughs at. At this day and age, I could have just noted it on my phone or itouch - I guess, this proves I'm really a pen-and-paper kind of girl. (which my sister points out again. She knows too much about me :)

What makes everything worth it, though is when I'm finally able to buy the perfect gift for each one. Nothing can be more rewarding than knowing you've exerted effort into the whole gift-giving process. It makes everything so worth it. From brainstorming the present to wrapping it up in the most special way possible.

Anyway, I just have to blog this to remind myself next year what a bittersweet experience it's been. For the meantime, here comes another challenging task...gift wrapping!

Happy Christmas everyone! Here's to hoping that beyond the material things, love and happiness are always at the top of our lists year-round. Let's get ready for 2012. LEGGO! :)
