i have prepared a oven-baked milkfish, beef balls with sweet and sour sauce and buko pandan salad for our Noche Buena feast. nope, no chicken today please!!! hehe. hubby and i had a quiet dinner together. we did not wait for 12 AM as we were supposed to attend the Midnight Mass at St. Joseph's Church. we went down our building around 11:15 PM and waited for a taxi cab that will take us to the church. since today is an ordinary day for non-Christians, taxis are not that abundant at this time of the night. luckily, we were able to get one at around 11:45 PM, just in time for the mass.

at the church, there was a huge crowd gathered at the grounds to hear the Holy Word. nationalities of all sorts, but mostly flocked by indians and filipinos. the weather was cold as expected. although one could feel the unity by having a common mass for any nationality, i still think that a separate mass for each laguage would be better to avoid such big crowd. anyhow, we were able to hear the mass proceedings until the Homily part, as my hubby felt so ill that we had to rush back home.

my hubby's karate club had their christmas gathering today at the corniche ground. i was invited by my hubby to tag along, in order for me to meet his karate friends and at the same time be their "photographer/videographer" as well. kaya pala ako isinama!!! =)

their stint started around 10 AM with individual demonstration of skills and then followed by group demo. they also had a fight match amongst each other. watching my hubby fight was kinda funny. hehe. he looked like a school kid challenged to a fight by a bully. =)

after all the karate show-offs we had lunch together with these karate guys. ang daming food!! we had different meat dishes, pancit, cassava cake, etc. with all these delicacies, me and "baby" in my tummy are happy eventhough we are just guests. hihi.
