As soon as December stepped-in, Xmas parties started rolling. Dec 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15. One more, on the 19th, our first joint Kasambaho Christmas party.
The Women’s Business Council’s own simple celebration was held at the condo of Sabsy Palanca in Salcedo Village. I was late talaga because I had 3 stop-overs before proceeding to her place. Most of them had already eaten but there were still plenty of food. And, there were 5 more ladies who came after yours truly. Lorna Kapunan, Ambassador Delia Albert, Mylene Abiva, Ann Pamintuan, and the owner of Enchanted Kingdom.
Myrna Yao, Amb. Delia Albert, and Ann Pamintuan
Lorna said senator someone is corrupt and so is the one who want to run for something.
I didn’t know what this was but I ate it anyway, it was delicious.
Someone asked Sabsy if this cakes were for eating? Mga kandila pala ito. Parang tutoong cake kasi.
This Loreto Racuya painting was prominently displayed at the dining area.

Jeannie Javelosa and Ann Pamintuan are newly inducted members. They both have a long list of credentials especially in the field of arts.
Jeannie’s a writer and had written several books. She said what we are experiencing is a dying of the old world and an acceleration of a higher level of energy. The old world is dying and a new world is being born. She said something is really going to happen in Luzon in 2014 because we’re approaching the second year of intense energy acceleration. I am not sure if this has something to do with the planet alignments. She said we don’t know if it would have a tremendous impact on Luzon. I hope nothing bad happens to Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, to us, and to the world.
Myrna Yao showed us a video of an Indian prophet who allegedly predicted the Yolanda debacle with unbelievable precision.
According to the video, kesyo next year daw ay Luzon naman. Patay tayo?
At meron daw skin disease that would start in the Philippines. Kung patay na ako, I wouldn’t worry anymore about kurikong.
Omb, open your eyes.
My eyes were really red and puffy from crying a river that morning.
Ann Pamintuan noticed them. “Ann, bakit ganyan mata mo, umiyak ka ‘no?”
Instead of exchanging gifts, we donated cash. We raised about P35,000 during the lunch and donated this to the carrageenan farmers in Tacloban who were affected by Yolanda.
