>I really wish my parents and two siblings lives closer to us. I miss them so much especially when I am sad and need somebody I can lean on. I still believe that no matter what happened your “family” is the people you can really trust.

Anyway, since I can’t go home during this holiday season, I made sure to at least great each of them. I am still happy though as I can see them on web-cam whenever I want or need to. I am also happy that they can at least see or play with my Abigail. I just hope time will come that all of them will meet and hug my daughter, my parents’ only grandchild and my siblings’ only niece.

Despite of being away from my family, I was still able to feel the spirit of Philippine Christmas because I have great and wonderful Filipina friends here. Just like what I feel, they also misses Philippines and got no choice but send postcard to their family and friends.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my beloved mama and papa, manang and manoy and to all my friends. No matter where you are in the world, I hope you keep me in your heart and prayers!

>This is the first time I could ever remember waking up my little princess this early so she can open her presents. This Christmas is very special to me as this is the first Christmas ever that I have Abigail in my life. Thank you so much God for giving me such a wonderful and healthy baby.

Just four days to go and it will be Christmas, the day when Jesus Christ was born. I know that almost every family have each own tradition no matter where you from but here in the United States, Christmas is celebrated with lots of food on the table and lots of gifts to open.

Celebrating Christmas is one of the joyous yearly experience as you share it with the people you love. When I was a kid, we always go to my Aunt’s house. We always go to my aunt’s house eat great foods, play different games and open gifts. But one of the things I missed the most is my auntie’s Turkey and gravy.

As of this year, I am looking forward of making my own gravy. I am going to try what I’ve learned from the gravy tips video I watched this morning at ClubHouse website. I can’t wait to start my own tradition and have a taste of the gravy in the video.

If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe that still taste great then visit the ClubHouse website now or simply fill up this newsletter sign-up and contest entry to join the Club House and start creating your personal recipe collections!

>I am 26 years old now and all my life there was only few times where I lost my patience and said something bad out of my anger. It takes so long before I completely get angry and it takes a lot of pain, anger, disappointment and other mixed emotions before I lost the “Nice” of me.

You can never tell nor predict I have bad feelings for you unless I say so or show it. I just grew up with “smile” for everybody even to complete strangers. I even remember a classmate of mine in high school who told me (Annie you just seem to have no problem or any hardship in your life as you always Smile and look happy everyday)…

Where I was when it showers “rudeness” in this world? I don’t have a clue… But things change as you go older. The more experience you have in life, the more you learned. As I always believe, Life is a process of learning; it is a matter of “Choice” that only YOU who can decide on what to do NEXT… I understand the word “Failure” but it would only applies if you think of it, allow it make you so miserable and/or embrace it. I strongly believed that there’s “HOPE”, and “Being Positive”. You will “LEARN” in every single thing you do or done in your life…

Back to “Being Nice”, I am tired and sick of it. I’ve learned my lesson, as people tend to abused you when you are always “Nice”… they treat you for granted and forget to even consider what you feel or might feel… In people’s mind it is OK to do this or say this because “She Is Nice”…

I used to have difficulty of saying the word “No” to people. Before I say or do anything to somebody, I always consider what he or she is going to feel… but I realized how bad it is for myself. It is becoming unhealthy that makes me sick, tired, stressful and gets headaches thinking of so many things.

I found out I am right that “Being Nice” is really unhealthy. According to Dr. Vicki Rackner, author of “The Personal Health Journal”, being “NICE” can be hazardous to your health as it erodes your health and impairs your ability to get better if you’re sick”.

She said that “Trying to avoid or ignore conflict and anger is like trying to hold a beach ball under water. Unexpressed feelings can pop up as physical ailments, such as heartburn or depression or back pain”.

The term she used is “People-Pleasers”. I hate it but I think I am in this category… but good thing about me is I am aware of it, learned from it and most importantly I am open of “Change” as a matter of fact, I’ve learned to say NO…

I’ve been through a lot and I can say it really changed me as a person (big time). I have been tired and sick of so many things just because of being “NICE”.

I promised to take care and love myself First. I need to enjoy my life, be true to myself and be happy. I am doing all of this not only for myself but also for my little angel who inspire me so much since the day I found out I was pregnant.
