"The best of all gifts around the Christmas tree: the presence of a family all wrapped up in each other"- Burton Hills

MERRY CHRISTMAS BLOGGOSPHERE! MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS US ALWAYS AND LET'S ALL REALIZE THAT THIS IS THE SEASON OF GIVING, LOVE & COMPASSION (NOT JUST THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE EVERYDAY LIKE THAT TOO) SORRY FOR ME TYPING ALL CAPS. GREETINGS FROM THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD TO YOU!

Bring us back to happy Christmas days.

I have not imagined waiting for Christmas to be this lonely. I admit, I'm looking forward to Christmas, because apparently, the one we're having this year is a white one. I have to say that I REALLY (and I mean that in the most striking way) miss spending Christmas in the Philippines...Im not just saying that because I haven't spent one here but I know myself, and what I want is a Pinoy Christmas. Bring us back, please?

By this time of year, we're already shopping over at Divisoria, or maybe at some mall that has pretty much a holiday sale...even though the prices are still high, it's perfectly fine because we know that after that, money will go back. By this time of year, I'm pretty sure I'm already getting excited for Christmas, it's wasn't like because I'm gonna get presents and whatnot but it's because the Holidays are always that time of the year where everyone needs to be happy. Did I mention my grandmother celebrates her birthday same as the Lord Jesus Christ? I never thought I'd be this sensitive about this matter.

Next year maybe? I'm not sure. Please Lord, give us all the means to make that wish of mine happen.

Gleek out.

Ok, I know I didn't go with all the hype it had last year because I thought it was just PLAIN CHEESY. But then, for some reason, I turned back on my non-conformist personality to actually enjoy a good time that each episode of Glee brings! I never thought I would be THIS hooked to a show, like 90210 and Magkaribal but there's just something about this show that could bring out my inner rock star.

P.S- I tell you, brace yourselves for the comeback- because I will post things that I have missed.

On the verge of forgetting.

I apologize for forgetting that I have a blogger blog! I admit, I had writer’s block for like half a year- and there are reasons for that.

I was so uninspired for a long time, probably because I became work-absorbed, I miss my family back home, I miss my friends, and I think I hit a wall or something. Don't take that literally.

I’ve been keeping a notebook though…take a look what’s inside and you’ll find nothing in there, for real! Now I know that I’ve got to write more, even tho I dont read a lot of books/newspapers, it’s a way to release all my emotions.

Picture spam- Summer Inspirations

Haven't been blogging lately. I've been preoccupied with this thing called work, haha. Anyway just wanna let u know that we have moved to an apartment already! It's cozy and I know it's enough for us. Thank God for this.

Why don't I post something cool? Alrighty. Since it's summer in this side of the world, here are some summery photos.

I MISS LOTS OF STUFF.

Here's a list man, brace yourselves.

• I miss my nanay and lola (grandmoms) and everyone back home. Hope they're safe and ok.
  
• I miss my friends.
  
• I miss riding the LRT.
• I miss riding jeepneys.
• I miss walking at thatwobbly EDSA Taft bridge.
• I miss our house.
• I miss doing radio- or even listening to Philippine radio stations.
• I miss those tiny bits of inspiration from celebrities. Makes sense?
• I miss Thea.
• I miss going to SM Manila with no money in my pocket. Broke ass.
  
• I miss some things that I NEVER HAD, and people I'VE NEVER MET.

Caught up.

I promised myself that I will blog so here you go.

411? Okay so my big fat baby brother (whom I love dearly to the utmost) just went to summer camp, it's gonna be until August 15. I am not happy about that at all, but the thing is, he's gonna earn money out of it, because he's gonna work! It will pay off big time I tell you. He's with my uncle, I hope they both get along great though. I DON'T EVER WANT HIM TO GO THERE AGAIN.

Work? Ummm, it's fine, it's not like I have a problem with it but since we're moving out the house to an apartment, might as well tell my supervisor that I kind of need some adjustments with my shifts. I pray to God that she won't have a problem w/ it or anything.

How's life? Social life you mean or just life? I DON'T HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE. I'm fine with that, but I know I gotta make friends. I've been thinking about it lately. I know it's great, it will soon be better once we finally establish:)

The whole race thing.

The race thing is...when you do something offensive (or anything close to that) to someone who's not part of your own, it can be voluntary or most times not intended.

I have to admit, I've been hearing a lot of people trashing other races, and now that we're in a country of mixed people, it kind of makes me think about if those people who make criticisms are aware that it's actually a form of harassment. It's impossible to ignore because we all have our won views/judgments of everyone. When someone does that, I actually feel bad because sometimes I form my own judgments of everyone.

I will never EVER in my life treat someone badly because they're of a different race. I guess my senses came to me just now.
