Blogmas Snap #25 | Onesie Fun

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Oh em gee. It's the last Blogmas Snap! Here's me in a onesie and a beanie. I've been asking for a onesie for a while and now I've got one (thanks mom!). And the beanie, which is great, was made by my very good friend Elaine. I love them both because they were given to me by people I love and they'll keep me warm and cozy during the winter.

Yup. Rockin' that onesie. I'm actually in it right now. It's so comfy! I'll definitely be looking for more in the future. I really want one of those adorable animal ones.

Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in to these Blogmas Snaps! I hope you've enjoyed reading these posts as much as I've loved writing them for you!

Have a very Merry Christmas or if you don't celebrate it, then I hope you have a wonderful winter day!

Blogmas Snap #24 | Christmas Eve Mass Shenanigans

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Whoa! This marks the penultimate post of this year's Blogmas Snaps! And it's an early one too! This picture was taken at my church's Christmas Eve mass. It was crowded like it is every year, so my family had to go outside. When I saw these three pillars/columns and saw that me and my siblings make three, I thought that it would be cute to take a picture like this, which each of us behind a pillar in order of age. It didn't turn out quite like I wanted (me and my brother are a bit farther away than I pictured we would be), but I still think it's a nice picture.

This was a sneaky little snap I took during mass. We were outside and all the chairs were occupied. My mom had heels on so luckily, a chair opened up later and my mom was able to sit down. My sister sat on her lap and I noticed that they were both wearing pretty flower crowns. I thought that this was a precious mommy-daughter moment. I'm really like this picture and I'm glad I got to capture this.

What do you do on Christmas Eve?

Blogmas Snap #23 | Spongebob Gingerbread House

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Behold. The masterpiece that is the Spongebob Gingerbread House. Yesterday, I told you that I was going to have a party with friends. Well, this snap was taken there. One of us brought a kit for the gingerbread house and the eight of us did little things to assemble it. Here is my friend posing with the final product. Looks good right? Well, it probably doesn't taste as well as it looks. We didn't eat it because the icing had the consistency of Play-Doh. Yum. But it did its job holding the house together.

The friend party was so much fun! I had never done a Secret Santa with friends before. The person I chose was happy with what I got them and I was happy with what my Secret Santa gave me. I brought lumpia to the party, which are Filipino fried egg rolls, and everyone loved them! The party was from noon to four, so after lunch, we exchanged gifts. After that, we made the gingerbread house and played some Just Dance, which I love!

Today was a good day. :) Hope yours was too!

Can you believe that tomorrow is Christmas Eve and that there's only two Blogmas Snaps left? I hope you've liked them so far! I've loved blogging this month!

Blogmas Snap #22 | Wrapping Presents

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

I wrapped my presents today! Well, I wrapped two (technically four). The other two were just placed in bags that I later stuffed with tissue paper. Not gunna lie, I'm not a professional gift wrapper, but if you look at it from here, the stack of three on the left looks great! I'm rubbish at the side part of the wrapping. And my mom wasn't really home today to show me how to do it properly so... I improvised. The yarn really ties it together though. The stack is for my Secret Santa that I'm doing with friends. Our party is tomorrow and I hope she likes what I got her!

I have three more presents to wrap and a couple cards to write. Almost done!

Here's a cute little happy selfie with me and my sister. She likes to make her gifts, so as I was wrapping, she was crafting.

 And here's a goofier one. This kinda reminds me of that one emoji (you know the one) and Miranda Sings. Side note: How 'bout them holiday hats?

Are all your presents wrapped? Also, do you wrap them or stuff 'em all in bags?

Blogmas Snap #21 | Finished Christmas Shopping!

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

I will admit that today's snap is a bit boring. I didn't really do much today, other than go to church. These are the bags of all the Christmas shopping I've done. It may not look like much, but it's because I haven't had much money lately. I just had enough to buy presents for my immediate family and some of my closest friends. I love shopping for people during the holidays, but I never have enough money to get what I want to give people. Anywho, today I finished all of my Christmas shopping! This afternoon, I ordered my last presents online. Hopefully, they get here on time! I paid for two-day shipping so... fingers crossed.

Were you productive with your holiday shopping this year, or did you procrastinate like me?

Blogmas Snap #20 | Christmas Shopping With The Bestie

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

Today I went to the mall with my best friend to do some Christmas shopping. As we were walking in we saw what we looked like snow in the distance. Snow? In California? *cue the Ariana Grande song* But what we thought was snow was actually soap bubbles spouting from above. They had a little tube on the top of one of the buildings that was shooting out a steady stream of bubbles over everyone. When I found that they were bubbles, I started to catch them in my hands. My friend actually blew one and it blasted into my mouth. Soap in the throat = me coughing for the next half hour. It was ridiculous. I made her taste the bubbles too.

Here's my bestie. She's adorable and I love her. This was next to the Christmas tree at the mall we went to. Inside the tree is where Santa took pictures with the kiddies.

I had fun hanging out today. Going Christmas shopping together at a mall has been our tradition since 2012 for us. Hopefully next year, even though we'll probably be at different colleges, we'll still get to continue this tradition. Usually, we go to a different mall, but this year we tried a new one because one of her favorite restaurants, Tender Greens, was at this one, and she's been wanting to take me for a while now. Lemme tell you, it was delicious. I admit that I was a little skeptical at first considering it's a healthy eating kind of restaurant (which I'm all for, but ya know taste-wise it can go either way), but I ended up loving it. We both got the same order: a hot plate with Salt and Pepper Chicken and the Romaine Hearts Salad. There was also like garlic bread and mashed potatoes. I sadly didn't take pictures of the food or the places, which was really nice! Part of this is because we were highly engaged in conversation and part of it is that (let's be real here...) I'm not the best blogger. Sorry. Anywho, she's one of my favorite people to talk to. We're similar, but she has such a different, interesting perspective on things than I do. It's always a good time when we're together. She makes me happy :)

Do you have any holiday traditions that you do with your friends?

Blogmas Snap #19 | Competitive Siblings

Hi World!

What are Blogmas Snaps, you ask? Click HERE.

For about four hours today, my siblings and I played Wii Sports Resort. We haven't played this game in a long time now, so it was really exciting to pick it up again. The game is great and so much fun to play with family or friends. It's just a grand ole time!

Today's snap consists of my siblings dueling in the swordplay section of the game. It's one of our favorite parts to play. All three of us get super into it and it's actually quite dangerous to go near any of us when we're wielding our "swords."

Along with the danger of being in our proximity, my siblings and I tend to be really competitive towards each other. Here we have my brother intently focused on the game, contemplating his next strike against my sister. She, on the other, hand, is just laughing and smiling away... for now...

This is what happens when she loses. She collapses to the floor and just kinda stays there for a while. Behold my brother's pose of victory.

And this is what it looks like when my brother loses. He launches himself on the couch, while my sister triumphantly grins. We're all so dramatic when we win and when we lose that it's actually hilarious. We laugh at ourselves the whole time because really, it's all just good fun. I love my siblings :)

What fun things have you done today?
