A Blast! Two words for the first day of our 2016!


We went through a lot last 2015 and we have nothing but good hopes this coming year.  It was welcomed by our annual Diaz Reunion. 

We started to have themed reunion this year and it kicked off with the famous Hawaiian Theme.  Of course we will not set it aside -- Mama prepared our Hawaiian themed costumes and we all went and dressed up.




Yes while playing games, we were all dressed up. 




Mama explaining the mechanics of the game.



Okie, eto pala ang Longgan!



There were a lot of food prepared by Ninang Judy and all of them were bountiful! Thank you Ninang Judy for always keeping our stomach full!







We had our annual gift giving and this year Ate Nins gave it a twist with a Christmas story where we: 

- formed a circle holding our gifts 
- if the word "want" and "once" are mentioned, we pass our gifts twice to the right
- if the word "right" was  mentioned, we pass our gifts once to the right
- if the word "left" was mentioned, we pass our gifts once to the left
- if the word "cross" and "across" was mentioned, we pass our gift across the circle

The story I think has more or less 5 paragraphs and so it took us so long but at the same time exciting.  We can't hold on to the gifts that we are holding because we don't know if the story is about go end or not.  Exciting as it is, we were all happy with what we received.

We also had our yearly "Biggest Loser Challenge" and no doubt about it that Ate Nina was indeed the winter.  She lost 10 kilos and the second best was Gboy who lost 1kilo.  Ate Nina won Php10k and $100, really a great inspiration to lose weight! 



For the first time we were not able to take some family pictures!

Oh my! Impossible to happen but it did -- well anyways, next year will be more fun because we will have Gatsby as our Theme! Yey!

Xoxo
