Maligayang Pasko!


Hello everyone! I know I'm like million years five days late with wishing you Merry Christmas, but it was really busy before, so I only got to stealing photos from Gerald, editing and posting everything now. This Christmas was really special for me because of two reasons:

1) My first Christmas after spending the semester abroad - it made me appreciate the holidays with my family muuuch more then before.


2) My first Christmas ever spent with my family AND my boyfriend. It may not sound like a big deal to some of you, but in my country, Christmas is a family holiday and boyfriends/girlfriends come second. But since Gerald is now on the other side of globe than his family, we were granted and exception and my parents adopted him for the celebration. :)


After picking up Gerald at the train station, my dad took his bags home and we made a short tour around Prague (told you, my parents are the most generous people ever)

Saint Wenceslaus, the patron saint of my country

The magical city of Prague
I have traveled a lot, but I have yet to see a city which could rival my hometown...

Since Gerald take pictures of anything and everything, here are some snapshots of my room :)



As always, I was in charge of decorating the table and transforming the yummy food my mum cooked into table-ready state. The candlestick was deco-ed by my mum though. :)


Haha, the creepiest picture of me I've ever seen!


I tried to make the salad look like Poinsettia, but failed. =D


Schnitzel, because we don't eat carp.
