Two days left!

I don't know why, but the for the past few weeks I've been so busy with work and family stuff. I wasn't even able to go to the HS reunion the other week.

Such a busy bee...

Anyway, for some unknown reason, I feel really excited with Christmas!!! (Or maybe I'm excited to get Sansrival from Chokiss.. haha! Yay! Food! And the fact that I was supposed to go to work later, but it got canceled. Weee... I know these are just mundane things but it made me really happy. Finally a break! :D )

Okay so it wasn't any unknown reason at all. XD

The other day I bought Mom's present. It was in a huge box. And the store didn't have a bag for it. I didn't want the gift wrap ruined so I carried it around the mall and while going home. Phew! Did my arms hurt or what?! ;_;

Just one more day and I've completed Simbang Gabi... for the second time! :D

And another note, I haven't been able to receive text messages last night. Argh! People thought that I was being suplada and not answering but that's not the case. T____T

It's so hard to think of Christmas gifts, that's why here's my wishlist: (I know its a few days late.. okaaaayyyy weeks but you know I was busy soooooo... ;) )

1. Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella
2. Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho
3. White plastic box where I can stash books and stuff.
4. Post it
5. Coloring pencils
6. Sharpener (the one with the hand crank, oh! oh! and if its battery operated [w/o hand crank]then so much the better! I broke my sharpener/toy [because it looks like a car and has wheels and all xD] last year, so I need a replacement. :( )
7. Playstation 3 with Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (Well... save the best for last! XD)

Alright, I'll stop spouting nonsense. This post is so random. Hehe! I'm soooooo excited for Christmas. I just know its going to be so much fun! :D

Farewell to my old self...

For the first time since 2001... I wasn't able to watch UP's Lantern Parade. :(

Every year, I have religiously watched this special event. I've seen different lanterns, the happiness on people's faces, amazing choreography and much much more... but this time, this time it was different. And I know it would not be the last time that I will miss UP's Lantern Parade. *sadness*

How did I miss such a show? I was still working up to 7pm and I had a Simbang Gabi commitment with my Mom and Ninang. That and I haven't slept for two days just trying to finish different jobs in limited time. I was extremely exhausted... I even forgot it's Engg Week because of my commitments piling up before Christmas.

I feel sad because I'm no longer living a carefree life, I now have responsibilities to handle. My schedule is to work from 7am to 7am and sleep a little bit in between. I have little time to talk to friends and play with my dogs. I don't get to eat nutritious food because I'm always on the go and I just need to fill up my stomach with anything just to keep going.

I suddenly realized that I've grown up...

What am I thankful for this year?

I'm thankful for having lots of supportive and wonderful people in my life. They are the source of my strength. :)
