Hello everyone... I've had too many attempts to create a post. All I can say right now is... I'm sorry I've been MIA. It's been a really busy and hectic and what not December! And though I'm sort of broke now (as if that's anything new at all!) it doesn't matter cuz I've bought presents for everyone and I'm happy and that is all that matters! I can't wait to see my loved ones' faces light up when I hand them their cute little presents! I especially enjoyed wrapping the said presents! Here's a sampler:

It's a pink-themed Holiday for me! :) I'm not gonna blab a lot today cuz seriously I feel like my brain is quite disintegrated right now. So I'm just gonna post up some photos from the "parties" in the past week.

First, we had our very own Dispatch Christmas Party - nothing really major. Just a small gathering and exchanging of gifts at the La Tegola restaurant. The food in that restaurant is superb at its highest level of superb-ness =)This is surely a must-visit, must-dine for the Italian cuisine lovers.





Unfortunately, no labels for the food :( They're just sooo Italian I couldn't even read them! Hahahah! More photos:


Camwhoring after dinner can be a substitute for dessert! :)

The dress girls and Gee with a crazy pose in the background.

The boys standing proud outside the restaurant.

Then here's me! I've got two new books from Paolo Coelho! Thanks to my manita Lois for being so generous and for making me happy! Now I will surely have something to read for the days that I won't have classes! :) HOOORAH!

Now we move on to our Department's Christmas party at the restobar, Formo. Black and white is the theme! And everyone did really enjoy that night even me who lost the gift my manita Julie was supposed to give me. Because I was sooo excited and giddy... I left the TopShop shirt in the cab :( *sniffs* Well... I'm not really sad cuz I lost that shirt, that particular shirt that I've been wishing to have... I am sad cuz Julie is one of my special friends and the fact that the gift is from her and I lost it... breaks my heart. *sighs* I just couldn't get over it until now... whenever I look back and remember. Isn't that sad? But I think the lesson that I've learned that night is that if God takes something away from you He's bound to give you something greater --- probably not the one you really wanted but something that He knows you deserve to have. I WON THE GRAND PRIZE FOR THE RAFFLE DRAW OF THE NIGHT! =) Julie's prayers were heard! It's still a happy Saturday Party Night after all ;)

And the pictures:

Me and Gelou checking out our outfit before heading out for the party.


L-R: Julie, Gelou, and Mae Ann getting ready to party =)

There's the outfit. I look fatso-tic. Hmpft.

Assorted hot shoes =)

And the hot girls who wore them :)

And the boys being gay! Hahaha!
Almost perfect!
Changed our outfits. Getting ready to hit the stage for our presentation! We danced to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. ;)
Ainie's hot outfit! :) I especially love the shoes! And if only the dress was shorter I would've fallen in love with it, too! :)

Lastly, the after-party photos. Some were really scandalous I couldn't bear to post them here! Hahahah! Even though it is not of me or my friends ;)

Juno dancing with the Tourist-turned-Congressman. Hahaha!

I changed outfits three times in one night! :)

=)
After one bottle of Beer with Green Tea -- I was like "I've got to go guys!" And off to the hotel I went and slept. Almost got in trouble with The Boyfriend because I forgot to text him that I got to the hotel safe and sound cuz I was such a Dizzy Girl!

And here is my favorite picture of that night:

The classic black and white photo in a dance floor. Find me! :)

And here, let me leave you with a...
