There are a lot of things that came into my mind when I think of Cristina. My friend who celebrated her birthday last weekend. I was of course invited. Actually there are many famous person that had her name like: 

Christina OnassisChristina Onassis (December 11, 1950 – November 19, 1988) was an American born Greek businesswoman and heiress to the Onassis fortune as the daughter of Aristotle Onassis and Athina Livanos. Initially one of two heirs she became the exclusive beneficiary to the Onassis fortune upon the unexpected death of her brother Alexander Onassis. She is also the late mother of Athina Roussel. ( Wikepedia)

Another famous person with the same name is singer-songwriter Christina Maria Aguilera.

And it reminds me also of Jesus Christ. I wonder if her name originated from Christ's name. 

Meet  Cristina!

Anyway, who is Cristina for me? She is for me a sweet lady. Hardworking woman with two jobs at the same time. She is a lady who loves to clean. She sings very well too and an excellent cook. And she have two adorable daughters. A twins! This is an old picture. They are in adolescence years now. 

Well taking picture before I leave the house is a must:) So this is me again before going to the birthday party posing for my husband. Taking picture before all the make ups dissappear:)

Cristina was  preparing the food when I arrived. Sorry for the blurred picture. My camera failed.

                                                   With a good help from Cristy:)

The sisters: Vivian and Opehelia waiting for the food to be served.

                    Another sisters: Nelda and Camilla after eating the foods:)

The mens corner! The husbands of some of the guests and Cristina's partner. Mine was at home. He prefffered to spend his night with his daughter.

Meet the happy guests with Cristina!

Who loves to pose for the camera!

again and again:)

beautiful young ladies:)

After filling our stomachs with the delicious kaldereta, fried chicken, pancit and rice, then it was time for dessert. 

But Cristina was so nice to everybody. She thought of our waitslines and  didn't prepare any desserts. She wants everybody to be always sexy. We were already sweet anyways:) 

Just joking. She served cake and coffee and tea after:)

And for the gifts, she got money, money and wines:)

I believe this flower arrangement was a gift too!

I love this corner!

Well, a group picture is a must before I leave! I wanted to spend the rest of the night  with my hubby and daughter, so I went home early. 

One last picture. Can you believe this picture was taken through the glass window. I tried to capture the moon outside, but the ceilings reflected in the shot as you can see. I think it was special.
