‘Tis the season of Christmas parties, dinners and get-togethers! One thing I love about the holiday season, apart from the non-stop feasting (of course!), is the excitement of reuniting with friends and family you haven’t seen in a while or in a long time. I absolutely love this part of the holiday season — amidst the wild Christmas rush traffic, the last-minute gift shopping and the crowded malls.
In other news, I’m 35 weeks already! 5 more weeks to go before we meet our little girl. Definitely one of the best Christmas presents my hubz and I can hope for. It’s getting really crazy with the intense backaches, midnight leg cramps, incurable insomnia etc. yet my excitement seems to overpower it all.
So that’s it for this entry, ta-ta for now! I’m off to see my friends from college whom I’ve shared a semester’s worth of crazies and adventures in France three years ago for our Junior Term Abroad. Definitely moments of reminiscing and looking back on all our shenanigans are in the books for tonight!
P.S. — Face of the Day products to follow! I’ve also answered the Christmas Tag survey after the jump! Thanks to Elle Woo of LipstickndLace for tagging me.
What’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
Like I said above, my favorite has got to be the reunions, get-togethers, dinners and parties with friends and family members whom I haven’t seen in a while or in the longest time.
What’s your favourite makeup look for the festive season?
Smokey eyes and red lips! I also love sporting bright red nails for the holidays.
Real tree or fake tree?
The Philippines being a tropical country has a distinct lack in pine trees so it’s definitely fake for everyone!
Giving presents or receiving presents?
Although I like receiving presents, I definitely enjoy giving them more and seeing my family or friends’ reactions upon opening it.
Do you open your presents Christmas morning or evening?
Christmas eve. After Noche Buena, it’s a mad dash to the Christmas tree.
Handmade Christmas cards or bought?
Nothing beats handmade but I sadly buy most of the Christmas cards I give. This year, I’ll try to make handmade cards if I can.
What’s your favourite Christmas film?
Love Actually. Such a heartwarming film for a true romantic like me. Especially the ever-famous “To Me You Are Perfect” sign boards scene.
What’s your favourite Christmas food?
Lechon!
I tag… Janet, Katrina, Nic, Carina, Ara.
why so pretty ? 😉
I love what your top! Very festive 🙂
A christmas and new year baby! Awww
Best of luck and merry christmas!

I love your baby bump! It’s too cute! Photos like this make me go into my “baby fever” moments! =) I want to start a family so bad! My fiancee and I have decided to get pregnant in 2013. Hopefully I’ll pull through =) I love children!
I love the Christmas holiday too! It feels great to reunite with old friends and family. However, this year we live in a different state.. So we’ll be apart from our family.
I hope you have a great Christmas!
