“Here’s to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old; here’s to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we hold.”
“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”
~ Edith Lovejoy Pierce
“Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true”
~ Alfred, Lord Tennyson
“Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.”
~ Oprah Winfrey
More Photos Of My Flowers.
Dec 31, 2008 Uncategorized
I took quite a lot of photos of my birthday flowers. I’m sharing some of them. These are all SOOC, I didn’t have the time and energy to edit or even put watermark.
Freshly-delivered.
In the vase.
Santa didn’t send much gifts this year, except for some cash that I used to buy stuff mostly for DS. I got an offer for a very nice item from my wishlist, but I declined. I decided to have the money saved and wait some more time, until the price of that item goes down. Or I probably might not buy it at all. Or I can buy DS some nice clothes from the catimini collection from France.

And I missed those holiday shooting tips compiled by Photojojo. But I still have my tree up. Let’s see if I can squeeze in some time to try some of the tips.

My Trees And My Flowers.
Dec 27, 2008 Everyday
A few more days and we will be putting down the tree and packing away the ornaments, a task I am not so looking forward to. Maybe I will do a general cleaning while at it, as well in time for the New Year. I want a simpler and less-cluttered house. But for now, I will enjoy the view and busy myself searching for term life insurance quotes online.
Merry Christmas!

Good news from heaven the angels bring,
Glad tidings to the earth they sing:
To us this day a child is given,
To crown us with the joy of heaven.

Two More Days To Go.
Dec 23, 2008 Etc.
And it’s Christmas. We have guests in the house, my IL’s. They are going to spend Noche Buena here. As for our food, I am not sure yet. We might just order food tomorrow. DH also plans of bringing them to Tierra De Maria in Tagaytay tomorrow so we really don’t have much time to prepare. I wished we had a bigger bed, or the comfortable sleep number bed, so they can rest better. Maybe we’ll do that on their next visit.
