Whew! Finished raving the Christmas eve events.. and now, Christmas day! Yay! Still at Jorben Compound, Batasan Hills..

..I was awakened by loud singers from the neighborhood. What time? 10:00 something in the morning. Boohoo. Puyat! Ahahaha! But it was worth it waking up and having the chance to read those replies from your friends and loved ones..especially those church mates of mine from Youth Alive Ministry. They're one heck of funny Kuyas and Ates and of course those who are younger than me.

Jeah: "Kuya Jem! Kuya Jem! Matagal ko nang gusto 'to sabihin sa'yo kaso.. baka lumaki ulo mo. E since Birthday ni Jesus magpakatotoo na tayo. Malaki talaga ulo mo. At isa kang malaking blessing sa aming mga kabataan..You're a great leader and a minister as well. My God shower you with more blessings kaso sana lang 'wag kang mauntog! Kasi pag nauntog ka....YOU DESERVE IT! Hahahaha! I love you Kuya, Merry Christmas to you and your family! ;)"
KuyaJem: "Uy, Jeah... kasama mo ba si Janz? Wala kasi dito e.. sainyo ba nag pasko yun? di nagpapaalam.."
Jeah: "Ay.. di po e."
Kuya Jem: "Woo tampo na.. hahahahaha! Joke lang yun! Merry Christmas din di mo lang alam qualified ka na maging leader though malay natin hindi pa ito ang God's time.. May God use you not only efficiently but effectively. Okay parang pareho lang yun! Sige luvu Jeah! Si Janz ba wala talaga sainyo? hahahaaha! God bless!"

Jeah: "Kuya Andoy! Andoy Briano Ragualio! :))) Hahaha. Kuya Andy Brian Ragual, kita mo naman kahit Smart ka nagpPM ako sa'yo. Matuwa ka naman. Regalo ko ha? Hahaha. E since special kid ka, tinetext kita ngayon. Haha. Merry Merry Christmas Kuya! Kahit lagi kita sinsapak at binabara Kuya ka padin. Hehe. Leader ka at staff lang ako. Daya! Haha joke! Basta sorry alam ko minsan super kulit ko di mo na ako masaway. Haha. Kasi, pikon ka. HAHAHA! Regards kay Allen ah. Bless you all! Love you Kuya Andoy!"
Kuya Andy: "Hoy JEAHNG MAMA! Wag ka nang magabala nag regalo ka pa.. kaw talaga! Kahit wag na.. (iabot mo sakin sa mamaya ha?) Hahaha! Merry Christmas din sainyo..God is still molding you to lead and I'm blessed kasi sa age mong yan you can lead people to Him.. continue to be a blessing. MAMA!!!!"

Haha, babaw? I got up, prayed and thank God for everything then suddenly I heard footsteps. Tiny ones. Woooo! my favorite cousin, Kyle rushed to the door wearing a cute smile and hugged me.. His father is Lebanese while her mom is my Daddy's sister. I gave him the ampao greeting him Merry Christmas. He is such a sweet kiddo. I freshened up then went downstairs (the coolest thing in my Dad's house is that he designed/built it together with Tito Boyette his brother, also an architect, with so many bathrooms. Woo!) I forgot to brush my teeth but I am actually holding my toothbrush, so I went through another bathroom and there.. done brushing! Signs of aging, tsk! Hahaha!

I can't actually believe it but it's true, Tito Boyette is sleeping with a PSP on his chest. Hahaha. That made me LOL-ing. Haha! I woke him up by a kiss and greeted him a sweet Merry Christmas.. I found out that he was just napping. Of course, older people get up early, right? "Gumanda ka lalo! Haha.. musta si JP? Hahaha!" -Tito Boyette. Loko yon!

Bonded with Tito Esau, who just recently recovered from an operation. His appendix just went out from his system. Coooool! And and some of my cousins like Carl and Kyle. Kim was not there but Tita Mae is present. And since Tita Mae knows almost every kid in the compound, she enlisted everyone and prepared an ampao for each of them containing P50.00 na malutong! Haha! Almost 50 kiddos received an ampao from Daddy. Haha. And yeah, they call Daddy as "Daddy B" and if only my Mommy is here, she will be called as "Mommy Eps" 'cause her nickname is Eppie. My cousins, friends who are really close to us call them as such.

Ate their Noche Buena as my brunch. Breakfast and lunch at the same time. Talked about the Word of the Lord. Tito Boyette, like Dad, is forcing me to be involved in a Leadership Training for Discipleship. I think I really need it. It will help me a lot especially when I minister to the youth. Discipleship Training is a lot different from Worship and Church involvements they suggest.

DVDs!
Tito Esau recommended this one from Nicole Kidman. It's funny, though some of the scenes are kind of explicit but it's part of the movie. Haha! Stupid swindlers!

..after which I started looking for a great movie from the pack of DVDs there.. I played a Samurai/Chinese/Flying Fighting girls movie and found out that there's no available subtitles. Ahaha. My Titos are so good in making people laugh! They made up their own stories by dubbing some scenes in the movie. Haha. Kulet! And that made me remember that yesternight while waiting for Daddy, we watched this very funny video from YouTube, "Visaya version-Harry Potter"HAHA! I finally got the chance to watch Hillary Swank's Freedom Writers! I cried. Watch it.



My 5 days unlimited just expired. Haha! Eat lots'a foods and bonded with them.. Kyle has his own cellphone and the funny thing is he can really send messages and call any one! *fast forward here* before we actually leave the place, Kuya Ton, Tita Bevs and Darlene came.. Wee, my cute niece. Too bad we're about to leave that time. Home. Kuya Beso's home, alone. Daddy showered and left for an appointment. Shobe and I also took a bath, then left for church.

5:30 PM - Candle Light Service at Word of Hope Church
The preaching was entitled "What Makes Christmas Special?"
--and hey! It's the promise of eternal life when Jesus was born to save our sins! Think about it!

Lighting of the candles. It was the coolest part. Pastor Dave explained that we do this every Christmas to be reminded that God left us with a very big responsibility. That is, despite turmoils and chaos, to be the light of the world. He entrusted to us a mission to be fulfilled: to remain Holy despite impurities.. for we know Jesus, the son of God is living in us and we must reflect His light to others especially the lost. The ambiance was nice when the lights went off and all you could see are lighted candles. We sang Light of the World and Amazing Love (where I found myself crying) and afterward, the service ended.




We greeted every Corban Wheels Ministry Members and almost everyone we know from Youth Alive Ministry. Woo! Haha! Jed gave us his gifts from Blue Magic. Thanks, Jed-dy Bear! Haha! We love you! Laugh trip until we left the Church. Haha. Kuya Jem and Kuya Otet harassed me! It started when I called him and shouted "HOY! BONAK!" (okay decode that "bonak" thing. Haha!) Dahhh. Scratches from nails were all around my arms. Grabe. Kiniliti nila ako hanggang maglupasay ako sa sahig. Hahahahaha!

Kuya Otet: *locking my arms* Ano papalag ka pa?
Jeah: RAAAAAPPPPEEEE!!!
Kuya Otet: *released my arms* Mandiri ka nga!
Everyone laughed so hard.. Aw, bid goodbye to them..

Went to Circle-C. Shobe wants to check out if she can buy something there. I saw Jemimah from Glendale and greeted her as well. Home.

Really, UNCOLDITIONAL LOVE from above made my Christmas so special.
