Chateau Royale After The Holidays

Back in our college days, me and five other girlfriends formed a group called POWER of SIX. In whatever we do, we are always together. After graduating though, we took different paths and worked in different companies. We keep in touch and we have this yearly tradition of seeing each other at least once a year. We eat out or we go to Aimee’s house and we celebrate there together with our families and loved ones.

This year, we have not seen each other, as in the six of us are complete. Aimee organized a dine out last August, if I am not mistaken. I was really ready to go even if the schedule is in evening. But my youngest had fever so I had to pass the last minute. So to make up for that, I bought a voucher in a resort in Batangas.

Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club is a world-class hotel in the heart of Batangas. The voucher I bought gives us a log cabin for accommodation. They have many facilities like the swimming pool, jacuzzi, children’s playground and they even have an obstacle course.

Ah I cannot wait for the date but I have too. I have not told my girls about it because I am sure, Ayex will keep on asking me about it.

Calendar as Christmas Gifts

Every night, when the news is almost over, they would remind people how many days are left before Christmas. And my little will go, Mommy when they say 0, is it Christmas already?. And as I say yes, she would giggle out loud! I on the other hand feels a slight panic inside me because while I have created lists before, I have not started any Christmas shopping yet. I remember, this time around every year, the box where the Christmas tree is is already unearthed. We do not really mind if there is still Halloween. Haha! I should look for that box in the coming weeks, the girls will surely be delighted to have the tree up. Anyway, on with this post.

After Christmas, there will be New Year. Thus, some go with calendars for their present, specially for families. Personally, I do not mind at all getting multiple calendars as gifts. The more, the merrier as I am the type of person who likes seeing calendar in several places in the house. I hate forgetting the date, that is why. And so it got me thinking whether I should give out calendars too. If I decide now, I will be spared of having a hard time looking for calendar printing services which is what I like. I do not want to be involved in the crazy Christmas rush where everyone and everything seems to be fully booked. And we all know what happens most of the time when things are rushed – disaster.

I will also ask my family if they want to give some of their friends this kind of gift, specially my mom. She has a lot and will most probably need help with her Christmas shopping list.

Lost Gift

I just finished scouring through my office stuff for Neil’s gift to me last Christmas but I cannot find it. You see, I have an obsessive-compulsive side and it is acting up now. There is a loose network cable that is starting to strain my eyes here in our room and Neil’s gift is perfect to fix it. But I cannot find it anywhere. I have checked all the bags I brought from the office prior to my last day. I have checked my tool box. I have asked Neil if I accidentally left it there, which is impossible because I want is so much! I am sure Ate Meriam did not throw it. I have asked hubby if I gave it to him but he said no. Arrrgghhh!

Oh well, maybe I should just ask Neil where he bought it and get myself some.
