New Year, New Awards

No man is an island. We need companions, partners, family and friends to see us through life. No matter where we are and what we do, friends play a big role in our lives. And I am so glad to have found many in the blogosphere. I may have known them virtually but I am POSITIVELY sure that they are HUMAN and that they REAL. And I am so GLAD and HAPPY to have befriended them.

My pretty blogger friend Umma, who I get to know a little bit more each day through her posts and comments, bestowed upon me these two awards: the "Inspiring Blogger Award" and the "You Make My Day" award.

Thanks Umma for counting me as one of those people who inspire and make your day. Know that you do the same to me.

Now, I would like to give out these awards to my blogger friends who never cease to inspire me with their posts and whose visits and kind comments always makes my day:
Juliana, Enchie, Iceah, Pchi, Juliana, Niko, Cookie, Beth, Alice, Beth, Kikit, Baby Sam, Little Zoie

Happy New Year everyone!

The Goodwill Car Donation Charity

There is a saying that goes, "Start the year right" and what better way of doing it than to donate to charity? Charities abound for various causes and there is one that is quite new and unique. If you have a car that you wanted to dispatch, why not donate it to a charity of your choice instead? It sure is one good way to help persons with disadvantages and disabilities.

I surely would love to donate our car to a Dispatch Charity knowing that we would soon be moving to Germany and there just isn't enough time for us to look for buyers for our dear Lucy. If I try to think about it, the advantages are just too good to ignore: quick and easy dispatch of car, free pick-up service upon donation, and great tax deduction! On top of that, the donation is used to help persons with disabilities and disadvantages get good jobs.

If you are worried about how the process goes, it is as easy as one, two, three. All you have to do is make a call or fill out an online form at Charlotte Car Donation and expect to hear from the Car Donation experts within 24 hours. From there, you are on your way to changing other people's lives and save some money from the tax deduction which you could use to purchase another car or however you choose to do with the savings.

The Christmas That Was

It's finally 2009! With the flurry of things, I wasn't able to make a single post. I should have started the year with a new post but I guess, with so many things going on, blogging can wait until today. :D

So what did we do last Christmas?

For Christmas Eve, we went out to a yakiniku restaurant for dinner. This served as our Noche Buena... I didn't prepare a Noche Buena feast but opted to go out instead... I tried to keep things simple and practical for Christmas. Sam was very happy with her gifts though, which we opened when we got home.

While waiting for our Noche Buena feast!

Daddy as our official chef!

Baby Sam and her gifts!

Christmas Day saw us hearing mass at the St. Ignatius Church in Yotsuya. It's quite far from where we live, more than an hour by train but it was Christmas Day and we so wanted to hear mass that was celebrated in English. So off we went.

After mass, we went to Roppongi Hills for lunch and sightseeing. Would you believe that it was my first time to go to Roppongi Hills? I mean, I have been to Roppongi but never really got to go around the area since my main purpose for going there was to conduct business at the Philippine Embassy. In the evening, we went to Tokyo Tower and I had a blast posing at the Trick Art Museum.

L-Window shopping! ;D R-The famed Lehman Brothers building.

L-Pledges to help stop global warming! R-Daddy pedaling away to light up the trees!

The doComo tree... by day and by night.

Watch out for spidey!

A view of the Tokyo Tower at night... It was beautiful!
My baby even made it more so. Don't you agree?

It was a fun and exhausting day since we didn't bring our car with us (parking is too expensive in Tokyo!) and we had to carry Sam in her stroller while going up and down the stairs at the different Tokyo Metro stations. Gosh! Most of the Tokyo Metro stations don't have any elevators around that we had to literally carry Sam in her stroller. Whew!

Now, I am still tired and exhausted. What with the thanksgiving get together that we prepared for January 2nd. And THAT is another story. :D
