HAPPY NEW YEAR!Started the day with mass, personally officiated by Archbishop Cardinal Sin. It's the first day of the new year and at the same time the day of Mother Mary. Planned to visit Alabang Town Center and got lost on the way :) Guess I can't quite remember the roads that much. Met with my Uncle Alfred and Aunt Mila from Pampanga. They were accompanied by James with his wife and two children, Jr. with his wife and one child, and Sheila. We were able to browse around, did some window shopping. Got home around 5 and caught the 113th Rose Parade on TV. The floats looked so grand and I'm continually amazed at how they were able to build the floats out of flowers and other plants. To top it all, Aunt Jeanne even called from the States. A good day filled with time with family.
