Follow tonipino on TwitterDon't you just love parties??
Last night was our subdivision's annual Christmas party and it was a BLAST!
Good food + friendly neighbors + awesome band + free flowing red wine = GRAND TIME!
Exactly what I wanted to shake off all the bad vibes of 2009 and welcome the new year with sore muscles!
HA! That's what you get from dancing all night long. Haha.

Working the floor with the ever graceful dancer, Ate Gigi. She's so fun to be with!

I just love my sister's sexy-back lace peplum dress from Mango!
So classy with a sexy twist!

It was such a wonderful party, KMH band provided us with backtrack songs as well as recent billboard-topping hits.
My kid brother looking rather shy. hehe. He's our bunso* and we love him to bits!
*bunso = youngest sibling

I have so much to look forward to next year! I pray that all will work out just fine for me and for the rest of my family, of course.
I'm crossing my fingers now.


Nail Art by Raymund. Aint it pretty? :) I think it's lovely!

Oh and I've been DYING to own a sequin dress for weeks now and my heart just popped when I saw this on sale.
I was eyeing it for weeks! Ha! Finally! Weee! Haha.
Okay, shutting up now.
