feeling Santai am not done yet with playing Santa this Christmas. So, this is what keeps me busy and excited: packing more gifts for our relatives! This time, it will be for my mother's side. So, I'll be giving these gifts tonight... but there will be a twist since it will be mixed with a game. This will be fun! I am so excited!
so, I shopped and swiped again. i had fun shopping with my Mom and sis, except for the long line to the counter. Can you imagine without POS systems used in the malls? Thanks God to technology!
And I didn't even bother to check how much my bills na. Later, later, later. i don't want to ruin my excitement with worries. hahah!! well, the gifts are not that pricey actually, it's just wrapped beautifully by yours truly and Naksi. Ahihi.
at home... in our jersey shirts ;)there will always be a child in me who always wanted to see and open wrapped gifts... the feeling of being surrounded with gifts are just priceless... :)

yayayi am sick.
i am having fever and cough and i am having a very bad headache. grrr. probably it's the very cold weather here. or the dust. or i lack vitamins. :(
but, it does not stop me from being excited on what I am into right now. :)
---
i remembered my dream again last night.
there's this person who says sorry and who wants to be friends with me (since we are not really friends, i only know this person by name). we talked a lot. feeling close na sya coz this person kept on telling a lot about life experiences.
another scene is that i traveled somewhere with random people and i went to a very beautiful beach. it feels heaven to see the scenery. the beach is overlooking ( i can still picture clearly the beautiful scene) and I jumped from the cliff to the beach. i was scared to jump, but i did it and it felt good. felt true. i love the feeling.

this one is funnyi remembered this childhood experience while my mother is looking for money to give to the carollers outside.
i think i was around 5-6 years old then, when only me and my yaya was left at home and a group of youths had caroling at home. My yaya did not have any money, and I had 5 centavos in my wallet. And guess what, I proudly gave my 5 centavos! Hahaha! Can you imagine decent carollers (with all the guitar accompaniment and voicing chuva) will only receive 5 centavos?
It was a talk in our place I guess (especially to the youths) and when my mother knew about this, she hurriedly gave money to the group.
see, at a young age, I can give up my last penny if you are all worth it. ;)
to the year 2008. (I mean, days from now)
it was a roller coaster ride for me, with many ups and downs.
a lot of people say that it was a lucky year (is it because of the 8?) and I am not sure if I got lucky...
All I know is I am blessed. And I thank God everyday for the blessings He showered to me and to my family.
But, it was not all bed of roses. I got my own share of pain and disappointments. I had my own struggles.
And I want to say sorry to people I hurt. Especially those who witnessed how bitchy and sarcastic I become sometimes. I am sorry.
Thank you Lord for the year 2008... for the gift of people... the different opportunities, the laughter, the fun and even those hard times that challenged my very person.
I am not sure what to expect for the new year, but I hope to be wiser with my decisions and actions this time while still being the same me --- a child at heart who loves simple things in life.
And one more thing, I wish for more travels for the year 2009 too!
Happy New Year!
PS. I am posting this in advance, and I know not everyone will read this, but atleast, this is what my heart says.

because of my CC bills...i need to write this.
i've been spending, and spending the past days, and i have to work to compensate my impulsiveness. i'll be good starting next year. i promise that to myself. if i have to, i will cut my credit cards (i doubt), but in fairness owning one is such a big help.
aside from spending and spending, i have also been eating and eating. Lipovox ? Diet pills? Is there something I can take that a sinfully delicious sweets will taste yucky?
Ok, I am done.
i swear i intend to write a more sensible post, but I don't know where to start. I know I have so much to say, full of emotions, full of thoughts. I guess I just need to be silent. That's what I've been doing the past weeks, less talks... less mistakes... less pain.
Praying for that sunshine everyday!

holiday entryaside from the parties and dinner dates that I have to attend this Christmas, I have some to-do list that I need to accomplish before the year ends. and i am not done yet, and I only have less than a month to do all those things. it would be very nice to start a new year with a clean sheet of paper in your to-do list.. you think?
---
these parties made me gain weight! grrr. who can resist the desserts? now, time to read Hydroxycut reviews and other diet articles.
P.S.
A more sensible post next time. Pwamis.

solitude
It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts.

your game i want to playfeels like it's 98 years since my last post. so whazzup?
well, the biggest news so far was the victory of Paquiao over the Golden boy. it was an unexpected game. feels like time stood still during the fight, and a great festival came after. a mismatch indeed. those Filipinos who can afford had las vegas hotel reservations just to watch the game. the game indeed will make you proud that you are a Filipino. hehe.
so much for this old news.

forced.nonsense.sad to say, this one entry is forced. i don't want to write, i don't want to talk. but, when opportunity knocks, you can't say no. i am thankful. really. i don't wanna complain. i am planning to be on blog-leave, but I just can't. so, maybe, a seldom entry will probably do. so, what's worth thinking right now? a healthy grilling and some recipes i want to try.
hope everyone's having a great weekend!

the market
november 28, 2009
dao public market, tagbilaran city
dao public market, tagbilaran city
this is something i still have to learn... how to check the freshness of fish/meat. for the mean time, taga bitbit sa lang ko sa mga pinalit.
i probably did. and I need to stop it. it was all enough. but, yeah, i was happy with what i bought, and not only that, i made other people happy. that's important. made everything worth it. now, can i say I'm broke but i am happy, eh?
now, i need to think of more important things. free life insurance quotes are easy to get as i already have one, but, i didn't commit to it yet. i still have some monthly dues to finish before starting a new one.
time to be responsible, big girl!
