i had a very busy week. took lots of pictures but can't show them right now bcoz my computer can't install my bluetooth. i had the pc reformatted by Kuya Benj on the 2nd night of Simbang Gabi. Simbang Gabi was fun. This year's theme is "Christmas Around the World". each group was assigned with a corresponding country and should portray how that country celebrates Christmas. i was in Young People so our country is Japan. My friends are years younger than me and they were grouped in Junior Worship/Sunday School 2 and their country is China. the Seniors was Philippines, married couples was England, Sunday School 1 (kids) was Mexico. Our daughter churches from Laguna and Valenzuela were Korea and Indonesia. so it was fun. in our church, each group made a booth look like something about the country. the best booths there were China, Philippines, and ours, Japan. Philippines won best booth although a member from Laguna made theirs. The last night of our Simbang Gabi was also our Christmas party since Christmas is a Sunday. our members from Laguna and Hulo came for the final program. we were given a chance to perform on how the countries celebrated their Christmas. so it was supposed to be like skits or plays. China, Japan, and Korea prepared skits while Mexico and Philippines danced. England had a combination of a little acting and like a song interpretation. or whatever its called. Indonesia just sang. Winners are, England in 3rd, Japan in 2nd and China in 1st. it was ok that we only got 2nd place, we even thought we would be in 3rd and was ok with it. we really had fun that night. Yesterday was Christmas. we went to churhc early and finished early. Faith and I with our other cousins, went to our relatives houses and their relatives to wish them a Merry Christmas. after that, we headed back to church and had lunch. my mom left last night for San Francisco. late that night we had a party with church friends and had loads of fun. i was happy because i was invited. we played games and exchanged gifts and really, really fun. the kids ganged up on me and voted me as president for next year's event. Lmao. i hope i can make it work really fun like this years party. i don't want to disappoint them. but i don't have to worry about that now since i have a whole year ahead of me before that day comes. MERRY CHRISTMAS! ^^
