Oh Love!

It's Valentine's Day soon and a lot of couples out there are planning laboriously on every detail of their very important date this 14 February.

I remember the time when my hubby and I used to date. We always go out a day before the big event because we just don't want overcrowded places and you have to deal with the traffic too. After many years of togetherness, we still go out, he still buys me flowers and sometimes gives me gifts. I often ask him not to since I am already contented with whatever I have and being with him is more than enough (wink!).

Now, I'm not saying we are getting old for this "love-thing." As a matter of fact, there's no age boundary in celebrating or observing this special "love" day with someone dear to you or someone you are currently courting.

No matter the age, I think Valentine's Day is one of the most popular occasions people observe. It's one of those days when you get to feel "special." So, to every one out there, single or hooked, dating or not, married or something else...here's wishing you a day full of love on Valentine's Day. Hope the love flows beyond Valentine's!

Christ in Christmas

You can feel it in the air. Christmas is just around the bend. This is my most favorite holidays of all holidays. I just love the feeling of peace, love, sharing and goodwill happening at this season. I enjoy seeing kids jump with glee when they see what's inside their wrapped gifts. I get excited too when I see my own daughter pace in anticipation few hours before midnight of 24 December, waiting to open her gifts and making a beehive around the Christmas tree. It's that season again.

Malls are decorated with festive ornaments to remind consumers of gift-buying. Minced pies are being baked again for bulk orders. Christmas Yule Logs will soon fill the shelves of bakeries and goody shops. It's that season again.

The weather is getting chilly. You throw in warm blankets and put in socks and mitts. You sit by the fireplace drinking hot cocoa and chat with family and friends over some fine wine and cheese. It's that season again.

Christmas is not just gift-giving, the camaraderie in the air, the joyous festivities we will all share with family and friends. It is the time for Christ as he is the reason for the season. Let's all not forget to remember to put back the CHRIST in Christmas.

Happy 4th of July!

To all my friends who are celebrating the 4th of July.
Have a good, fun and safe one!

Cocktail Party

Oh boy, I have to go to a party tonight and I have these butterflies in my stomach fluttering so wildly. I know, I know... My blog is named It's My Party...ladidadida... and yet I am not a party-goer. I have never fancied parties at all unlike my husband who is so much of a party-goer. He seems to immensely enjoy the company of new people. I tend to be a wallpaper on such events. Hence, I don't like parties.

What's a cocktail party anyway? According to Wikipedia, it is a party where cocktail is served, and people are dressed to the nines. I reckon that it's a socializing party where you meet new folks and get to exchange pleasantries. It's also a place for merriment.

I know, I know... I do not like parties like my husband does but I go where he goes, right? So, in the spirit of camaraderie and being an able follower (hehehehe....just kidding!), I will go to this cocktail party and try my best to enjoy. As a matter of fact, I am "slightly" excited because I get to buy a new dress! Not a fancy one, something I can wear again on other casual occasions. I just hope I don't end up getting stuck on a wall like a wallpaper does!

Wish me luck!
