Whenever I participate in my mom's Lupus club event, I can’t help but get a little bit envious – hoping that our Neurofibromatosis (NF) group can also have an event like that as well. And finally, after 2 years of planning and anticipating, my NF Friends and I had our 1st ever NFF Christmas party last December 15 at Tita Nani's home in Magallanes, Makati.

December 24

GYA Christmas is officially back!

"My childhood friends called the GYA Peeps and I successfully brought the Christmas spirit back in our community after seven years. We realized that we have to continue the Christmas party tradition started by my uncle and grandfather in the early 70’s. With the help of a couple of cheerful givers like the PJ Lhuillier and Office of the Mayor of Mandaluyong City, we were able to bring joy to more than 150 kids. We instilled in them the true essence of the season and showed them how to live their childhood life to the fullest. Just by seeing their happy faces, we were reminded of how great it feels to reach out and bring happiness to kids." - Celebrating friendships and reviving traditions in 2012

Breakfast at 9 am and then followed by games - traditional pinoy games.

       

       

Party in the afternoon until around 7pm. Clowns. Games. Prizes. Raffle. Foods & Drinks. Balloons. Gifts for everyone.

              

December 29

The camera rolled again before the year ended. Shoot an interview for GMA's upcoming show, Indio. It's for the special premiere, i think. It's going to be aired on January 13, Sunday though we still don't know what time it is.

   

Jonalyn, my neighbor NF Friend was also interviewed.

 

It was also GYA Peeps' Annual Yer-End dinner at Yakimix in Podium.

     

December 30

Post Christmas Get-Together with the Lopezzz

       

   

December 31

After the Christmas for the kids, we also revived the New Year’s Eve party within our compound, which we, the GYA Peeps, grew up to. It's one of the many reasons why we, the GYA Peeps, bonded and became closer together and it's time for the younger generation to have the same kind close-knit friendship like we have.

      

       

*sigh* I can now say my official goodbye to 2012. I won't be doing monthly recaps anymore instead, I will try to blog more often. Try? Okay, I WILL. ;)
