a belated merry christmas to all!

is it just me or does it seem like the older we get, the more we don’t feel the christmas spirit anymore? i guess it’s because amidst all the shopping and gift-giving, we forget the true reason we’re celebrating this, jesus’ birthday. anyway, lest i sound too preachy and all that, i confess that the only reason i didnt feel the christmas spirit that much this year was that i was working up until december 22. we left for bicol on dec. 23rd and so i wasnt able to do much celebrating in manila anymore. this year also marked my 3rd christmas with ton though we have yet to celebrate it together. being a grown-up also means that you’re now capable of giving gifts from your own pocket thus resulting in the near-depletion of my savings and the overuse of my cradit cards. also, your relatives stop giving you gifts because they figure that you can probably afford what they’re going to give you anyway.. which is totally not true haha.. it’s always nice to get something no matter how much it cost them. it’s always nice to be remembered. i still have one christmas gift to collect though so i’m counting on redeeming that gift during the mango sale haha.. oh and i still owe ton his nintendo wii… anybody out there selling one for only $250 or less ?

 anyway, much to look forward to in the coming days. i go back to work on january 4. that’s almost 6 days of vacation for me! good thing i have filed for a leave for january 2 and 3. i had a feeling that our freaking president would not be giving us another holiday for the new year.  ton and i are going to tagaytay on january 3 so that he can practice taking pictures with his new camera.

in happier news, the seamstress who is making our dresses for ton’s brother’s wedding said that i lost weight already.. and i went down one size.. i found this out after trying on a mango skirt that i’m still contemplating on whether to buy.

have a happy new year, you guys! i’m now going back to watching weeds (i heart conrad) and monitoring the lakers-bobcats game. my fantasy nba team’s standing depends on it:-)
