One Love At Christmas

Christmas Day is Reunion Day. Reunion Day is busy day. Busy though this day, tis a fun day!

For those really not familiar with the De Vera tradition, we don't have Noche Buena on Christmas Eve. We, actually they, all sleep early. We, actually they again, wake up soooo early Christmas Day to continue prepping for the luncheon reunion.


Here're my BIG bros: Marvin (2nd), Oneil (3rd) and Alvin (eldest)



Here're naman the girls: Moi with sisters-in-law Ate Pea and Ate Ivory



Here're the ancestors! Hahaha! Kidding! My parents...

Funny Papa doing smoochies on cam! Hahaha!


Many kids added joy to the celebration. May mga High School Musical addicts!

Here're my nieces and nephews Ice, Kim, Kianna, Tam-tam (bulol for Sam), and Joty dancing (and giling-ing) to We're All In This Together. Hahaha!


My cutie nephew Ethan was there too!

As part also of the Christmas tradition, Papa gives money to nephews, nieces, and grandchildren. Andaming nakapila this year kay Santa! Hahaha! When Papa left to get some more bills, we jokingly said "Offline na yung ATM! Cannot transact at the moment!"... Kuya Ramir even playfully quipped parang GMA Foundation pila for Bicol victims... hahaha!



What's Christmas without a family pic!

Aaawwwwww... ang cute di ba?Ü


I really really love Christmas!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!Ü
ONE LOVE!Ü

Christmas Caroling San Miguel Style

The San Miguel Foundation for the Performing Arts' Christmas Concert Series. We were able to watch last Saturday's show, December 23, 2006 at the Shangri-La Atrium.


Hindi naman sya standout sa kaputian diba? Yan ang labanos! Hahaha!Ü


Here's the San Miguel Master Chorale and the San Miguel Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Eudy Palaruan.



Haaaaay, super sarap talaga kumanta nang may orchestra! **dreamy dreamy** And yeah, they had a great encore! Boom Tarat Tarat Christmas! WAHAHAHA! At si Baldo suuuuper imbento sa lyrics! WAHAHAHA! Wag mag-deny, caught on video!


They have a new cd! Great OPM from the Movies! Bought one! Have one! Of course, had it signed by the great Mr. C!

Magkaiba pala kami ng tiningnan na camera! Hahaha! Mine's on the left, Winnie's on the right!

Nang Makita Kang Muli

DREAMY WITH A CAPITAL D-R-E-A-M-Y!!!

Haaaaaay Lord, ambait mo talaga!

Ooooops, talking in tongues na naman ba ako??? Hahahaha! Pardon me... After almost two years of not seeing my crush, I saw him last Christmas Eve during the Misa De Aguinaldo!!! MY GAWD!!! Ang gwapo pa rin nya... Sans the glasses na and now with more rosy cheeky cheeks... Haaaaaaay...

Maybe Santa heard my Christmas wish after all... He's not on my Christmas list but I guess Santa does know better...

Nath, after nang matagal kong paghahanap at pagtatanong, nakita ko rin sya! Wooohoooooo!!! And yeah, mukhang kaagaw ko pa si Bing and Allan! Buhay nga naman oh! Hahahaha!

To my crush na hindi ko alam ang name, Merry Christmas! Hahahaha! Sana I'll get to see you often na! Kung alam mo lang, nang makita kitang muli... wala lang... chos! Hahaha!


PS. Topher, ask mo kung ano name nya ha?Ü But don't tell na it's me asking. Hiya ako eh! Wahaha! **blush blush blush**

Kakalokang Kiko

MAYLENE!!!! MAYLENE!!!!!!

Lo and behold!!!! Hahahaha!

Here's Kiko's watch at last!!!!

Feeling model-modelan ang lolo! Pwede! Kaaaaaa!


Look closely! The watch is not working! No hands either! Just Kiko's picture cut to the shape of the watch's face! Hahahahaha! Now you get it bakit kami nagulat at nagimbal dito sa relo! In fairness, sosyal ang sinayang na relo! Sana pinang-regalo na lang nya! Hahahaha!

Sheer talent of a lubilubi! Hahahaha!


Ei Kiks, thanks for being such a sport in fashioning your watch! Kakaiba ka talaga! Kakaloka! Hahaha!ÜÜÜ

Breakfast At...

No, not Tiffany's... Ate Jane's. Wala naman kaming member na Tiffany eh! Wahahaha!ÜÜÜ

We went there after our thanksgiving Misa de Gallo last December 22, 2006. Lord, thank you talaga. Monsi, thanks too for acknowledging our efforts.

DC the best!Ü

Tagumpay Nating Lahat

Last December 20, 2006 was DC's best day ever! Why????

WE WON!!! CHAMPIONS!!!

Twas the night the Quezon City District 2 Chorale Competition 2006 was held. It was done in Batasan Hills National High School. Of the 15 church choirs targeted to join the competition, 12 only registered. Of the 12 who registered, only 7 showed up for the competition! Any idea why??? Kami rin wala, but I have an inkling. It was maybe because they did not know that the venue was changed!!! KAAAAA!!! Commonwealth School ang sinabing venue eh but it was changed to another! Luckily, I called the Councilor's office that afternoon to ask about other matters. That's when I learned about the new venue! That's when I had to text my choirmates about it! And that's the time I had to inform all the invited guests how to get there! Biruin nyo, buti na lang pala I called! Kaaaaaa, these people talaga! Oh well, enough ranting... we won! **worldwidest grin evah!**


Last minute picture!Ü

MC, Mel, Chie and I before going up the stage to perform.


Mel is unbelievable! Mirror image ba kami ni Mel??? Pareho ba kami ng bangs??? Mukha din ba akong Imelda Pappin??? Oh no! Wahahaha! You judge, people! This Mel is waaaaay ambisyosa!


After performing and eating dinner, VIPs went around for picture taking.

Here're Councilor Allan Francisco and Bishop Antonio Tobias with the Disciples Choir.


Grabe! Ate Honey was crying even before the 3rd prize was awarded (which I thought was OA... Hahaha!Ü) but when they started calling upon the 1st and 2nd runners-up, my heart was really thumping! Kabog talaga! As in! I was thinking, kami naman talaga yung pinakamatino yung tunog eh, kami pa yung walang conductor, kami pa ang may pinakamatinong costume (hahaha!)... Basta kami yung best I think... But the Ever incident (read it here) kept replaying in my mind, so I didn't wanna assume we'll win, I might get uberly frustrated again. The host was prolonging our agony, he was injecting some other campaign lines, reminders and what-nots in between the announcement of winners! And when he said, "Ang first place.... DISCIPLES CHOIR!!!", ay hello, sigaw to hilo talaga ako!!! As in! Hahahaha! Nandilim yung paningin ko nun kakasigaw! Hahahaha! MY GAWD! MY GAWD! Waaaaaaa!!! We wooooon!!!


Singin' "We are the champions, my friend..."

Such shhhhhweet victory!


At ulitin ko po, Lord ambait mo nanalo din kami! **worldwidest grin pa din!**


Here're some random pics...

Featuring: Battle of the Bangs, Inang Yaya and Kiss Me


Oh, I almost forgot! Pinoy Dream Academy Grammar and Diction Teacher Von Arroyo was one of the judges!

Oh ha, nagpa-picture pa! Hahaha!


Si Kuya Ron and Teacher Von parehong katera! Kami ni Jinna -- Yebbah! We won!



ANG TAGUMPAY NG ISA AY TAGUMPAY NG LAHAT.

NABAWI NA RIN NATIN LAHAT NG PAGKATALO NATIN! HAHAHA!ÜÜÜ

CONGRATS GOOD SHEPHERD!Ü CONGRATS DC!Ü

Baby Bash

Before going to the Pinoy Dream Academy Dream Night, we had a baby bash that afternoon. Twas Miyer Angelo Concepcion Bernabe's Christening.



Here are the Ninangs and proxies (I'm one of them!) Ayan, CO, gamit ko na yung gift nyong havvies! :D


Reunion of the Can't Smile Without You Stars

(Amaryn), Bing, Ardi and Allan...


Miyer and May, thanks for the invite! Good food, great party!

Welcome to the Catholic world, Miyer Angelo!Ü

Certified Chaddict

Let me start with this word: STARSTRUCK

You'd never ever see me dumbfounded with a Pinoy celebrity... Me? Hello? Nevah! Or so I thought... And boy, I thought sooooo wrong! Hahaha!

Once upon a December night (**wand flick sound effect** hahaha!)...


Yep! I was in Araneta Coliseum for the Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Dream Night! Woot woot woot! Buti na lang my bro's with Sony! I got sponsor ticks! **grin grin**


I was with my Cinderella posse -- Nath, Allan and DJ... Hahaha!

Starstruck nga kamo????? Look where it brought me...

This is Chad Peralta or should I say what was left of him... Hahaha! I was ready and all set to take his picture for he was to pass our way pero poooooocha nung dumaan sya sa harap ko I was TOTALLY, I repeat, T-O-T-A-L-L-Y STARSTRUCK! Pffffft! I wasn't able to take his picture! Di man lang nakaya ng finger ko i-press yung shutter! Nawala ako sa tamang hulog at ulirat! Hahaha! Ta***na! Natulala talaga ako! SUPER GWAPO NYA MY GOD!!!! My heart's racing... be still you fool! And when i came back to my senses, that's the only picture I was able to take... Hahaha!

Ronnie, Panky and the other scholars look the same on tv and up close... Pero si Chad, I never thought he really looked this gwapo up close... I mean, he makes me gaga over his kagwapuhan on tv pero DANG!!! may ig-gwapo pa pala sya! Hahaha! Dreamy dreamy dreamy!

And may i add, I sooooooooooooooo envy Panky when they were singing Gemini... Super fit yung song na "Parang ice cream na bilad sa ilalim ng araw..." Hahaha!

Reich = Certified Chaddict

True true... Haaaay, be still my little katera heart! :D


PS 1. Boo, wag ka na maghimutok na I wasn't able to invite you to watch... Pinoy Idol naman kasi usually topic natin eh... Malay ko ba! Hahaha!
PS 2. Yeah, James Angelo Lee was there too... of all people! Hahaha! :P
PS 3. SOOOOOOOOO not over Hilot Jay-R on frickin second place! Pfffffft! Kaaaaaaaaaa!

Talent Drives

Here're the Philippine Idol Big Three...

Jan Nieto, Mau Morales and Gian Magdangal


I know you know who won!!!!Woooohoooooooo!!!!

Buti na lang the Philippines voted right this time!Ü

MAUREEN MARCELO = FIRST PHILIPPINE IDOL


Nga pala Lord, I don't know how many times I've told you this but still I'll repeat it... Thanks for hearing my prayers regarding Ken & Miguel.Ü Now I believe that money really can't buy everything.Ü Ambait mo!Ü

Oh yeah, Miguel, great song! As in!Ü In fairness I got teary-eyed... Aaawwww...

And since we're talking about idols, I better share my views about Pinoy Dream Academy Honor List of 6...

Disappointing!

I really really really really really wished YVAN LAMBATAN would be included! It was kinda obvious that his fan base is weak but I thought people would appreciate his talent and vote for him... I was soooo damn wrong! He was booted out!

Magaling sya! As in! Have you been watching??? Hearing him even??? I know he's not the best but he's definitely better than most of them! Kahit sa mga bets ko! Kaaaaaaaaa!!!! >:(

Tears rolled down my cheeks when he was singing his final song. Sayang talaga sya... Sobra.... Haaaaaaaaaaaaay... I still am yet to recover from my disappointment and dismay...

I wished Irish was not there (bebenta naman sya kahit ma-expel sya eh coz she's pretty... pero naman... talent... hello?!?!?!) or Jay-R na lang... sorry but ever since that Hilot song came out... Dyosme! Cut na sya from my list!

Oh well, I have the same prayer for PDA as Pinoy Idol. Sana the Philippines would again vote right. As I see it meron talagang nangingibabaw among the scholars. Pero syempre playing favorites ako... GO CHAD!!!ÜÜÜ Hehehe...

O sya, I wish my brother would be able to haggle us tickets, sponsor naman sila eh.Ü

Can't hardly wait! **grin grin**

I Can't Smile Without You

According to a toothpaste commercial, you really can't smile without these... Hahahaha!

This blog post is brought about by a recent asaran in the choir... Hahahaha!!! (Teka, ubusin ko muna tawa ko! Hahahahahahaha!!!!)

It started when somebody brought up the text joke about teeth... "Ang galing naman ng ngipin mo, parang exam... one seat apart!" Patay tayo dyan! Nyahahaha... And here's a perfect example...

Ang shhweeeeet ng smile ni Allan!Ü


Ain't nothin' sweeter than revenge... Sagot tuloy ni Allan, "Eh yung sa yo, cheating!"

Nga naman, Bing! Kaw talaga! Hahaha!Ü


But if there are cheaters... there are good students naman... mga nag-review!

Why not, Marlone! **whistle**


O eto, she was not there but let's include her still! Ano to? Mga backstabbers??? Hahaha!

Joke lang, Ghem! Hahaha!Ü


And of course, kailangan kasama to! Hehehe... **blush blush** Chos!

Closeup smile ko yan! Kahit bacteria tulala!


Hahahahahaha!

But seriously, guys and girls, family and friends, I really can't smile without you... Aaaawwwwwww... Love y'all!Ü


PS. Hindi pa rin ubos tawa ko! Hahahaha!ÜÜÜ
