Elo, kulasisi! Been very busy these past days I haven't got the time to drop by.. as you know… it's Christmas already! =)
Yeps! Christmas is just around the corner… Carols are being played regularly over the radio.. the traffic is worst.. The malls are always full… and my pocket is.. err…DRY! [Darn]. The only consolation is that the rain is gone yet the weather remain to be cool.. a pleasant event in itself. It motivates you to move around and visit place plus… the school is out for the Christmas vacation. Christmas Parties are everywhere… so there are lots of drunken people all over the metropolitan. I have done my Christmas shopping already, bought some clothes and some clips.. Bought some gifts too. Not expensive ones, I don't have the budget for grand gifts… Hehehe!! Anyways, despite the ache in my feet and my pocket-- I had a great time shopping! Yes! I do love to shop.. May I say that this is the only activity that makes me happy despite the pain it causes me.
While we [nanay, ate and me] were wrapping the gifts, we were watching TV [multitasking]-- Hehehe! And this particular topic in a certain show caught my attention-- there people who are going to have a sad Christmas [yet for different reasons]. So.. that made me realize that Christmas does not always signify -- Happiness… joy and peace. Sometimes, Christmas also refreshes the pain.. Opening old wounds… making you remember the pain that you once felt, making you aware that you are not yet healed. Somehow, we just know that this season is going to be different-- we are older, we have experienced things and we have gained and lost things or people we love over the year. We would never be the same.
My Christmas is somewhat to this effect - I don't observe simbang gabi but I love bibingka and puto bumbong.. I hate seeing hypocrite people who pretend that they are attending mass whereas in truth they're just trying to be with their GF/Bf or look for one. *Smirks* I love to shop for gifts despite the limited budget I have… I love preparing the table for noche Buena but I hate the part of the washing the dishes! I love seeing my relatives but then we always see each other throughout the year during birthdays and blah-blah… I do believe in Santa Claus! Yey! Yey! Every year, I still hang my sock near the window with the hope that someday, Santa would drop a car key to that sock of mine. I've never celebrated Christmas and New Year away from my family… been that way for 24 years now. =) I love to dress up during Christmas Eve. I don’t know why but I do.. hehehe maybe because I'm luka-luka. Anyway, 7 days before Christmas but I'm just about to mail the cards tomorrow. They'll be late for the holidays! Better late than never. Bleh! =Þ
