Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed 2008!





Merry, merry Christmas everyone. Receiving forwarded messages are a treat but there is nothing more than original thoughts and messages coming from the heart. Oh yes, this blog is all about Dianne Elise so here are updates on her...
She just finished another mall tour at SM Makati and this was the same day their new condo was blessed and formally "inaugurated" to family and friends. And because the condo was small - there were two batches of guests; family and relatives during lunchtime and friends during dinnertime. Dianne Elise wanted the whole band present but unfortunately most of the members had gigs and were not able to make it. Thanks to family and friends, Grandma Tita Palad; the Angcanans led by matriarch Tita Rose fresh from the U.S. and Kuya Edward, Ate Lin with son Marcus, Ate Che and whole family except for baby Sean; Tita Bing Talabis with her beau Rody Apolinario; the Eclars Auntie Malou, Ate Marian and cousin Jade, Kuya Brian with wife Eva and godson Ian; sisters Tita Marilen Ruiz and Tita Lydia Mendoza; condo neighbors Johnny and Lyn Gopez and the guards; Manager Henry Onglatco, with Lucille, Shooli and Franklin from the RTI family; Atty. Gadon who came with his lovely wife Beng; Jun Achura of the Bela family together with Katrina, Leo and Moi; guitarist Jun Manuel with wife Yayie and their daughter; Andy Reyes from U.S.; Vince Patron with Ryan in tow...hmm, did I forget to name the others coz I didn't mean to, and if I did, so sorry.
Going back to the SM Makati mall tour, Dianne Elise sold more than 30 CDs, the highest so far. Her Robinson's mall tour will commence in January, also the Ayala malls. She will have a New Year's eve gig in Batangas, this is the first time she will be away from family. And also in January, she will start shooting with her two new music videos featuring the songs "Easier", her own composition and "Swept Away," from Christopher Cross.
December 25 was of course the special day of Christmas, with the great family tradition in the Palad residence - half a day of non-stop eating, games and gift galore. Fun, fun, fun! This was of course attended by everybody, no one was absent. Dianne Elise enjoyed giving her gifts and watching her doe-eyed nieces and nephews (from her cousins) accept their presents from her and everyone. Everyone, ho, ho, ho....holiday cheers!!! And to all, a happy and blessed 2008!!!
