i am now at home at my mom's house. this is christmas season so i went out on a vacation. however i only have four days break from school and from office works.. but still, i liked this opportunity to be here and spend some time for my family. it was realy nice to be at home with a family. we went out this afternoon and bought some food. and right now , i am really full with the food that my mom cooked for us. i also have my siblings with me. and i just liked being with them.. though there are again some fights between us, but that is just normal.. hehe.. how about you, are you on a vacation this season?

Hai there jingbautista.!
Yes I am. I get one month holiday, and now there are only 14 days left for me. I enjoy being home as I love to play with my youngest brother age 1 years and 8 months.
Besides, as I have a large family (12 siblings..big huh?), anytime we gather together, it is very fun and exciting. You will hear this one want to talk about this, and at the same time another one want to talk about different things. It just a happy moment to hear everyone want to share about their life with other family members.
I love being home! :)
Have a nice day.

Well jingbautista, it’s nice to know that you when out on a vacation during this Christmas festive season. We always would feel refreshed and energetic again after back from the vacation. I had spent a ten days vacation visiting Turkey with a big group of friends. We really enjoyed and learned a lot of new information during our long traveling in a foreign country where the climate, culture, language, lifestyles there which were very much different from those in my place.
We had visited many popular historic sites and unique natural landscapes, the Cappadocia Underground Cities and the Pamukkal (means Cotton Castle in Turkish) which were really attractive and etc. We watched the popular belly dance and enjoyed night swim in the indoor hot spring water pool. The water was believed could heal various skin diseases. We loved the famous local food, kebab and cheese served there
You are right, it's always a great pleasure to stay together intimately with our family. I'm really happy that my husband and I will visit our son who works in outstation and we would spend a couple of days together with him there.
posting and take care.

that is nice to hear from you my friend. it is really nice to be on a vacation this break.. no works, no struggles, no hassle, it is really free. but somehow, i could not help but also think of the works that has to be done.. but anyways, i have lots of time with myself now.. seeing the way i am and the way i am not.. it is really complicated. there are things that i wanted to fix and experience.. and i want to have peace of mind. and time with the Lord... thanks..

I had a christmas vacation last year, but not this year. Mother is going to cebu and siblings for the reunion and im stuck here coz i have to attend a wedding on the 26th, and i will have to force myself to work and work just to cope with loneliness. yikes, this is not the first time and Im coping well. Maybe if there was no wedding i could be enjoying a lot with my family there in cebu, but i have to be there on cathy's special day.
enjoy your vacationa and have a meaningful christmas.
