A Blessed 2011 year it was!

2011 was indeed a blessed year for The Family.  More Sunday masses with our
son, no major illness and most of all, more quality bonding time by The Family
despite demanding time from work.

As couple, it was always a Friday night out to rekindle the fire.  Talk of
anything over sumptuous food or just a walk in the mall.

For The Son, he has grown to be a bright and handsome boy.  Completed
his Kinder 1 as Top 3 on their class.  He is great in spelling, reading and
addition.  His new love - Taekwondo.  This made him fit, strong, more
balanced and focused.  The Couple is always looking forward to watching their
Saturday TKD session .  He ended the year with his yellow belt on.

 

 

At work, we were able to overcome pressures, learn new things, meet, new
people in the industry, and enhance our technical skills. 

A closer relationship with each other's family.  More frequent visits to both
my parents and in-law's house.  Spent holiday vacation with them from in and
out of the country.

The Traveling Family - started the 2011 with a New Year in Singapore. We
went to Universal Studio, Singapore Zoo, Marina Bay Sky Park and a stroll
in the Orchard road and malls.

Last May, The Family had seen the Seoul, Korea's best.  A stroll in the Seoul
street, had a taste of their street food and other delicacies. Enjoyed the Han
River cruising, played in the parks and went in the Everland, considered as
Disneyland of Korea. Safari world is also inside.  We'll surely come back to
Everland for the Carribean Bay experience.

A photo-op on the Gwanghamun Square. Marty as heir to the throne...

At the Han River - cruisin and passing through different colored-bridges.

With the addition of baby Reina to the Catalan Family, we went back to
Korea but this time in  Koje island to visit our lovely korean niece last Nov.
Quite a short stay but really enjoyed every second of it.

We also re-visited Clark and had a taste of one of their luxury hotels-Widus-Hotel Vida. 

Also stayed in the city hotels with the family to celebrate special occasions
- Fathers' Day in Astoria Plaza, Christmas in Rockwell Club and New
Year in Shangrila Makati with the Santos Family.

@ the Ayala Triangle Gardens watching the Christmas Lights show...

Not taking out into account, few bucks were saved also for the schooling
of my son.

As for my personal life, it was all about being a working mom.  Never had
the chance to catch up with old friends and no sports at all.  Maybe those
are the two things I also have to look forward to this 2012.

Over-all, it was really a BLESSED 2011 for me and for The Family.
For all of these, we gratefully thank the LORD.
