Heyyyyy guys! It's been a while since I last posted a photo diary here on the blog. I've been really busy during the first two months of 2017 coping up with all the requirements in school. Anyway, I thought of compiling some of the pictures from last year's Christmas vacation just because I don't want them to go to waste (Sayang naman!). Last year's Christmas holidays had been pretty eventful for my family. It felt like I'm tired every single day arranging different parties and trips. But in spite all of those, I had a really memorable and eventful holidays with my family.

Tagaytay with Virtucio's. It was the first Sunday of December when we had a road trip to Nasugbu-Tagaytay. I played a nanny the whole day because I babysit my godson. Haha! We heard mass at Caleruega, ate lunch at a random restaurant along the high way (they sell the best bulalo!!!), went at Picnic Grove for the horseback ride, bought some fresh fruits as pasalubongs and lastly went to see the dancing lights at Nuvali. I got to experience holding a snake and playing with it for the first time. I was hesitant at first because I have to pay 100 pesos just to have pictures taken with it until the keeper ran after me when I was about to leave and told me that I can take pictures with it for only 50 pesos! I think it's a good deal already! Yay!!!

Late night spontaneous trip. I believe that the best moments are the unplanned ones. It was a random Sunday afternoon when my cousins asked me if I would like to go with them to Alabang to attend a Christening. I decided to join them since I wasn't busy during that day. When we were about to go home at around past 7 already, David joked if we could stroll to Mckinley Hill. I was quite hesitant because it was raining a little plus it'll still be a long drive to Mckinley then to Batangas. My ninong took it seriously and drove down to Taguig. After 45 minutes of getting lost from Alabang to Taguig we finally arrived at Venice Grand Canal mall. Hindi uso sa kanila mag joke kase tinototoo nila. Haha

Pre-Christmas Family Dinner. It has been a tradition in the family to have a pre-Christmas dinner every year. This year, we had it with my Tito Gerry's and Tita Alice's families. I got reunited with my equally big sisters. (I mean tall sisters. HAHA!)

Christmas 2016 with my family :)

Dela Roca's Christmas Party. This year's party was a memorable one! There were more foods and a photobooth decorated by the Bustillo sisters. I don't have much contribution except for putting decorations on the ceiling and high places (Haha) and being one of the photographer during the event. Everyone seemed to enjoy the whole event especially the teens! Hindi uso ang KJ! Party kung party! :) Looking forward already to this year's Christmas party with Dela Roca clan.

New Year's Eve. Welcomed 2017 with big smiles and positive vibes!!!

First gala of the year. Our first gala of 2017 was spent at Shercon Ecology Resort. We had our lunch there and I must say, they do have a nice restaurant with a really nice view! I highly recommend it! There are many activities to try too! If only we were booked and prepared, we could have tried the activities and went swimming. Anyway, we'll surely go back this summer vacation. :)

Let's stay connected through instagram (@shairangelique) and twitter (@Shairaaaaa) for blog updates! Till my next post! :)

It seems like you had an eventful Christmas! You are right to still share these photos, flashbacks are always fun. You're so brave to have touched that snake - I would have run away haha.
