Christmas Run 2010: PG and UST Friends

As any balikbayan and their family would, a vacation in the Philippines is not complete without the traditional Duty Free shopping. So there we went. 

When I was younger, I was always so psyched about Duty Free shopping because it meant that I could get my hands on stuff from the US. Boy, my brain was colonized. I still love Spam though. ;-)

After that, I had to run to Makati to meet...

Caitlin and JC to catch up,

then Ron, the Boyps and the bearer of my Christmas gift.

Last but so definitely not the least, my wonderful best friends in the whole wide world...

Bim, Cho, Ces, Lark, me, Eth and Cha.

Christmas Run 2010: GMCI Mode

I went home for the holidays. I'm very happy I did because I'd be pretty depressed if I didn't. I thought to myself I should've requested for a longer break but I'm afraid it will be harder for me to go back.

Anyway, that's another entry right there.

So here's how my Christmas Run went...

First stop was my GMCI Family:

 

Sara, Alma, me and Charl

Junie, Chen and me

So happy to see old faces and great to meet new ones of course. I was too busy being hugged or kissed which explains the lack of photos. Perfect way to start my Christmas Run.

It wouldn't be complete without the annual Trio Christmas photo:

We have a photo like this every Christmas, well, it just sort of started during our first year at work and we made it a tradition. Check out our gallery below.

Now, I'm sadder... but can you blame me, that's homesickness kicking in. 


P.S.
Please disregard our arms and cheeks.


Ta ta!
