Shopping for christmas presents when the special gurl is around makes it difficult to buy gifts that render a surprise. I have to resort to anything creative to make sure she doesn't have a clue as to what she'll be getting from me.
Yea, there ought to be time without her, which she thinks is fine. It's just me. I worry how she'll get home and I don't exactly trust cabs.
Five. That's how many she gets from me every christmas. All wrapped by Pauline.
Hours ago we had our kris kingle. Tonight is family night. I've got my maternal relatives here at home.
As I'm blogging, my neice Trish is knocking herself out with the videoke. Again. She's got a good voice. Yea, it runs in the family.
If the family reunion isn't held here at home, then the folks at Ayala-Albang host it. This event is also a quasi-despedida party for Hoot who'll be flying back to the US next week. That's why christmas party is early.
Speaking of get-together, a few of my UP Manila "family" met yesterday at EDSA Shang for a mini-get-together. I wasinvited but everything's short notice.
Che smsd and sent the invites. She's based in Subic now and when she's in Manila, there's a lil get-together of sorts.
Those who attended were Eileen, Susan, Bien and Lzl. I don't know who else arrived.
These are the people who I grew up with, survived crossroads, questioned authority.
I can actually be naked with these people and, yes, I'd trust my life to.
Solid.

kids should know that...
The Christkind is a sprite-like child, usually depicted with blond hair and angelic wings. Martin Luther intended it to be a reference to the incarnation of Jesus as an infant. It is presumed by some to be so, but seems to be rooted in the Alsatian-born myth of a child bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. Children never see the Christkind, as parents will always tell them that the Christkind just disappeared before they came. (wikipedia)
