How many of you have already witnessed the Burj Khalifa fireworks up close? Oh, I see a lot of hands. I just did for the first time just last New Year's Eve! So how was it, you may ask. It. Was. Amazing!

It's the time of the year again. A time to look back to the year that was. I hopped into the best nine Instagram craze last year, and it brought back a lot of memories, so I thought of making it a yearly thing. :D

More than anything, my 2016 was exciting! Bumps were of course inevitable, but everything was worthwhile. I was able to get through all of them with the help of the people around me. And so my #2016bestnine revolves around the very reasons who kept me going through the past year—my family and friends. :)

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of love, family, and friends! I couldn't be more thankful!

#2015bestnine was all over Instagram since the start of this week. And yup, I also got into the craze. :p Mine was mostly about food and I am not surprised. But aside from all the yummy food, there's a lot more to my 2015, so I created my own #2015bestnine. :D

My 2015 was filled with new friends, new learning, and new experiences in a foreign land, and I'm more than happy that I'll be ending my year and starting a new one in my home, with my family.

There were some bumps along the way but everything was definitely worth the ride. Special thanks to Mark and my family for making it all worthwhile. Cheers to the new year!

Being in Dubai for the past year has also opened a lot of opportunities for me and for this blog. And it is very evident in the original #2015bestnine generated for my Instagram account. I couldn't be more thankful for the year that was!

Warning: This post will be picture heavy! :D

It's the last day of 2014! Yay! I know I'd been too mushy during Christmas Eve, well I'm just missing home so much so I guess that's alright?.

I'm still missing home, I don't think I'd ever get used to being away from home, but I decided to do away with all the sadness because as I tried to look back, 2014 has been so wonderful and there's a lot to be thankful for. I was blessed beyond belief!

Wishing everyone a blessed and prosperous year ahead!!!

Happy New Year!!!

I know this post is way too late, but January still hasn't ended so I guess I can still squeeze this in. :p

Another simple yet super fun celebration with the family transpired on New Year's Eve which started out on merienda. :) I was craving for pizza so I ordered from Shakey's.

Mojos

Jeff also came in time for merienda and brought some donuts.

We also didn't prepare much for Media Noche. Just like during Christmas Eves, we also usually have New Year's Eve dinners. Here are what we feasted on during our New Year's Eve dinner:

Tuna Carbonara

Pork Barbecue

Cream Dory

Beef Caldereta

Peach Float

Puto Cake

Chicken Macaroni Salad

After dinner, we had some drinks and chitchat while waiting for midnight.

Cheers!

We also started to light the firecrackers and sparklers that daddy bought.

The Mastermind :p

We also thought of creating a 2012 sign out of the sparklers. :D I took charge of taking the photos while Gia, Jeff, Jaoey, and daddy made the sign. After a few practices,
