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

Merry Christmas! Hohoho... :P

I felt like Santa during Christmas day while giving gifts to my god-children. I definitely enjoyed capturing the funny moments. All my cute nephews, nieces and grandchildren (Oh yes.. the horror... I'm a young grandma) were so game to pose for the camera. ;)

Good thing that I was okay during Christmas, because last December 23 I had a fever. It went down the next day but it came back to haunt me today. :(

I wasn't even able to go to mass. I was really hoping to hear the mass with my nephew and niece and then strolling in Market Market as soon as I'm finished with my volunteer work. But noooooooo... I'm down with a runny nose, tonsilitis and coughing like crazy every few minutes. I blame Manila Bay. Why? Because I couldn't say "No" to the cute kids asking me to come with them to SM Mall of Asia. (You try doing that.. I'm telling you, "No" is not an option to them. @_@)

Ate Amphie was going to meet Ate Grace (a long lost friend) and her kids there. So I went to MoA and woah! There was this pretty nifty place near the Manila Bay where a playground and lots of food stalls stood. It was really nice. Anyway, long story short... I ended up baby-sitting three kids. It took a whole lot of energy to play with them. We played "Simon says...", "The boat is sinking..." and "Agawan base". I had to entertain them for 3 hours... really long bonding time for Ate Amphie and Ate Grace. By 11:30pm we finally found them hanging out at one of the bars and listening to old songs. I was soooooo tired. I barely had any energy left but the kids were chanting "playground!" so off we went. Around midnight they finally decided to leave, but Angelica and Mikaela (Ate Grace's kids) were poking me and clutching my arms, asking to play with me. @_@ Er... am I some sort of toy? Anyway we chased each other as we walked to the jeepney stop. I like those kids, they were so friendly and active. Maybe if I was feeling a bit better we could have stayed longer. :)

By the time I came home, I felt like my throat was burning. But I couldn't sleep because Kuya Edu came and we were bonding over stuff at the province and stuff at his shop. By the time I went to sleep, I kept waking up every 30 minutes because my throat was super itchy and I was coughing so much. It was very, very hard to sleep. :(

So here I am, sitting in front of the laptop. My cousin bought me dalandan to help fight the sickness. My boss wants me to report at work tomorrow. And the kids want to play.

I just want to sleep, sleep, sleep. :D

Ooooff... and Kuya is home! Yaaaay! My present was a bag of Kitkat. Yum! :9

Do you know the feeling when you're about to snap and so stressed out?

Mom said I should just suck it up and be glad I've got part time jobs. But I think, sometimes I spread myself too thin. WAAAAAY TOO THIN.

But having some money is good.

So.. hmm.. I guess this is how it is when you work and get to go back to your own home. I didn't feel too much stress during the OJT days because I had enough rest. I only felt homesick back then.

Right now, I only sleep an average of 6 hours a day and work 6-10 hours a day excluding the travel time... and the travel experience... urrrrgh. There was a time I had to shout "OMG! I CAN'T GET OUT!!!" in the MRT because the doors were about to close and I couldn't get out of the MRT in Cubao Station, people were entering while I was still inside. It was horrible. T_T

My laptop is heavy and I get paranoid whenever I'm commuting. Gah...

O well... I just have to keep reminding myself that having some money is good. ("Some money" because "too much" = "too bad" for me. Hehe..)

I smell Christmas. Oh happy day~! :D
