Family fun at Fil-Am Christmas Party

We had family fun at Fil-Am Christmas Party yesterday. It was our first time to attended this kind of Christmas party and we had a great time with "kababayan" and husband.We started our party by saying Graces.

AWAY FROM PHILIPPINES:

 Being away in our country ( Philippines) we miss Christmas in Philippines especially its winter and sorry to say, most of us is  suffering winter blues at this time-maybe because of  cold  weather or  the outdoor activities is very limited-suffering from cold,sinus headache,virus and flu.(Tell me about all of this and I'm the one who is suffering winter blues).

THANKFUL WITH THE COMMUNITY:

I'm very thankful that I joined the Fil-Am community, it's our monthly gathering-that we get together with "kapwa Filipino-celebarate birthdays every month,celebrate events, eat our own Filipino dishes.

NETWORKING or MAKING FRIENDS:

For me Networking or making friends  is always important, it gives you a source to meet people and make friends especially if you're away with your own country. I do believe "No man is an island". I'm thankful to ate Liz who I met first and invited to their community, from then If I am around I always joined the monthly activities and parties with my family  and make friends with other Filipinos.Without any question ate Liz is a God's blessings to me. GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.

EXCHANGE GIFTS:

Exchange gifts has been a tradition in Filipino's ( monito and monita) this is the highlights in our party yesterday. We did the exchange gifts in modern ways. HAHHAHAH all we did.It was really fun, where you have a chance to shop with all the gifts that are open already or you can choose gift that is not open yet. The most popular gifts will be shop 3 times only and that  gift is save from others except at the end the number has to choose to shop or enjoy her gifts.
