FA LALALALA LA HAHAHA.

December 29, 2008

 

I apologize if this blog entry came later than expected because, well, Christmas is over (the actual date, at least) and we’re on our way to 2009 and we’re almost getting there. But still, I can feel the Christmas season just hanging in the air. That, i think, is reason enough to still be jolly and happy. 🙂 Not that we go back to being grumpy before. I mean, it’s jut expected of us. But wth, do whatever pleases you. HAHA.

Anyway, a lot has happened during the Christmas vacation and even though we’re not complete (you know who you are), I still am thankful because there still are phonecalls and that is as close as we can get to them. Faith, I think, will be our saving grace. 🙂

Anyway, the point of this blog entry is for me to properly wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 😀

This is a time to just forget everything else and focus on what matters most- our families and the love that we share to other people because contrary to popular belief, love (not money) makes this world go round. It’s certainly is the only thing we’ve got going for us at this time. So make the most out of it. Spread some love and good cheer. Everyone needs a bit of both. 🙂

‘Tis the Season

December 6, 2008

 

Seooow, I haven’t posted anything in a while, huh? For those who read my blog (not a lot, im sure), I’m very sorry for making you wait. Or maybe you didn’t wait. I don’t lead a rather exciting life anyway. HAHA.

But, in order to keep this blog active and for me to rant without being judged (to my face), I will post something here.

We all know that Christmas is fast approaching and Santa is porlly busy making all kinds of toys in the North pole while Mrs. Claus is knitting up a storm. I’ve been busy doing a bit of Christmas shopping as well. Yes, it’s the time of the year again where I get to buy all sorts of stuff without feeling a pang of guilt afterwards because it IS Christmas and you could use generosity as an excuse to spend money impulsively. Haha.

Well, I started shopping for Christmas gifts just this morning and I kept on buying stuff that caught my eye without really thinking who I’d give it to. Thankfully, I got to figure all that out when I got home. Whoo! I feel really giddy whenever I go christmas shopping, and I also get excited with the wrapping part too. I love wrapping gifts! I can’t pinpoint exactly what it is that enthralls me to wrap gifts but I just like doing it. I could wrap gifts all day looong. But, of course, I won’t.  Tch.

My family is really into the holiday spirit. So far, we have 5 christmas trees in our house. I wrote ‘so far’ because the number may rise as christmas draws nearer. God forbid it does. It’s not that I don’t like christmas trees but I think 5 is enough. Goodness, one is enough in most households let alone five! Anyway, one thing I found rather odd is that nobody has been going caroling still- even with 19 days left till christmas. I’m not complaining because it does save us the trouble of having to open the gate eveytime there are carolers but it would be nice to listen to kids attempting to sing (correctly) the xmas songs. I especially like Jingle Bells.

“Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way! Oh, what’s fun in the restaurant…”  :)))

Anyhoo, I will surely be missing my relatives who’ll be (yet again) away from us this Christmas. It would be great to spend the holidays with them. Oh well. There’s still the traditional way of greeting which is through snail mail and the great wonder of technology- email. And of course, you’ll be in our prayers every night. 🙂

I hope in this season of cheer, nations will unite, families will continue to love each other, problems will be  solved or at the very least set aside, every household will have food on their table however humble, every kid will be given a simple gift to brighten up their holiday and I hope, suicide rates will go down. Christmas only comes once a year and it’s the best way for people to help and give whatever they can. I have started and will continue even after Christmas. I hope others will do the same. 🙂
