my answes:

1. having a household with four struggling cooks can be quite a hassle especially on occasions  such as the new year’s eve and whipping up a feast can be quite a daunting task. i terribly miss the good ol’ days when mama would cook up a fiesta all by herself, with little (e.g. chopping, stirring) or no assistance from me. i miss those days when all i have to do is clean the dishes after stuffing myself with all the scrumptious meals my mum had prepared…oh well, some things never change, i still end up doing the dishes anyway. so this year, to enjoy the new year’s eve with my son, i intend to order takeaway, less hassle and hopefully lesser dishes to wash.

2. i am 5 feet 4 inches tall.

3. it’s hands down to chocolate pudding but i’d love to try other flavors, too!

4. for now i am stationery, meaning bound to my ever-reliable desktop which holds house in my son’s room. so you can only imagine jared’s protest whenever i go online or try to blog during playtime or when he is watching his favorite pocoyo or barney vid. my attempt is normally greeted with tugs and pulls at my shirt or is sometimes thwarted with a quick stubby finger to the power button…hopefully i can earn or save enough to buy meself a laptop soon…hmm, maybe in 2011!

5. i’d have to say my dimples and my smile!

note: this post is several days delayed, pardon me!

my answers:

1. well, hopefully lots of food!the task of creating a decent noche buena (that is christmas eve feast in our vernacular) is quite daunting for us non-cooks! i remember when i tried to cook pasta with tuna and white sauce two christmases ago and the sauce turned into this paste-like, glue-like substance and everyone else refuses to eat more than a single helping. i vowed not to cook again. but of course, things changed when i had my baby, with cooking prowess or not, i must learn at least the rudiments to be able to provide healthy and hopefully delicious meals to my growing baby boy. now back to this year’s feast, we will be having the usual staples: pasta, barbeque, maybe potato salad, clubhouse sandwich, grilled hotdogs, my birthday boy bro is requesting for grilled prawns and other seafoods, so we will see how the feast turn out this year. plus we also have to include soup for the little boy.

2. normally i just can’t stand the ads and am a flipping-channel maniac that my father used to be very annoyed when we watched television shows together. but jared has taken quite a liking to shampoo ads that i can’t flip through the channels like a rabid and have to wait till those commercials are over.

3. just until the first week of january, then it’s boxing time for the lovely tree and i’ll try to store the trimmings in an organized fashion so i won’t have a hard time locating them next year…

4. i am really such a cry baby that a lot of movies i’ve seen either moved me to tears or actually made me cry, the latest of which was harry potter and the deathly hallows, especially that part when dobby die. i was sobbing so hard my friend has to ask me if i was fine….

5. yes, i’ve been on facebook for more than a year now, and i am online almost everyday. i was particularly addicted to cafeworld and is currently at work with my treat for kids catering task, anyone willing to give me mini santa’s?

my entry to this edition of meet me on monday….post yours now^^!

this is one of my most favorite christmas songs of all time. it reminds me of my parents when they were still around…my papa has a cassette tape (yeah, that old school!) of all his favorite christmas carols which he would play as early as the first day of december arrives…this will be the fourth year that we will be spending the holidays without my parents, i miss them more each year..how i wish they were able to see my son….it will be a perfect christmas if we can spend it with them…

i also wanted to get him some of these stackable toys. he is beginning to take interest in assembling parts of things and he was using his powder container, cotton buds cup as guinea pigs and i noticed he really digs this activity. 

i still have a few more days to go and a few more trips to the mall so we’ll see, if i see something that catches my eye and my son’s fancy, and if the purse will permit it, i might buy him something else.
