christmas love

Santa claus is coming to town!

Whoa, the news says… its 25 MORE DAYS to go and it’s Christmas!

I am down to my 5th year, celebrating Christmas here in Singapore. And frankly, I really do miss celebrating it in DAVAO.

While I am drowned with fabulous Christmas decors that glitter in whatever angle, I feel less. Less in a way that, it’s just a day off.
I kind of miss the feeling of bliss that lasts a very long time. Yes, I think that is what makes Christmas different in PH.
We’d go to a mall and all counters were too busy. The queue is just so long but as weird as it may sound, it makes you feel happy.
Why, the people are happily chatting while queuing up! The rush, the mind-boggling thrill on what gift to get for your manito, the gathering of old friends that you haven’t seen for a long time? It feels nostalgic.

Here in Singapore, we’ve been celebrating in a very low key. My very first Christmas, I celebrated it in a coffee shop!
My second, third and fourth, I celebrated it with my housemates. And this Christmas, I’m excited to say that I am celebrating it with my family!! YAYY!!

My parents are coming, so as my sis and her fambam. (ssshhh it’s a secret! My parents do not know about this! SURPRISE!!!)
I just feel elated at the thought.

Anyway, I am still preparing where to take them. As a cheery and aherm.. gorgeous host, I would want it to be special.
For starters, I want to take them to dinner with a scenic view, on where that is, I am still checking places. Also, I would want my nephews to experience the zoo. How does a giraffe look in real life? I’m sure Chino will be delighted!

I’m still planning. I won’t have much time though as I will be working and doesn’t have any vacation leave to spare… but I’m sure things will work out.

And as for Christmas wish, I’d ask WORLD PEACE in generality… and of course, GOOD HEALTH, HAPPINESS, and LOVE.
For myself, Santa, I’ve been asking since day 1, it makes me think as though, the gift I’m asking does not fit your sack or is too heavy for the sleigh. But whatever, you do know, don’t ya? Hihi.

More importantly, I wish Christmas would be an instrument to make people come together. Where love would reign, more than hate and ambition. 


Merry Christmas in 25 days’ time! ^8^

Friendship is spelled with END

As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
