wazzup?

i realized that i've not been blogging for some time now. i got a lot of chika and pix to share but everytime i attempted to make a post, my fingers were already busy with something else OR i was already dead tired and my mind was no longer working. that's what i get for deciding not to have a yaya or helper (heaven knows till when) since we disposed our last one. making my situation worse, iñigo is at his naughtiest these days, AS IN! i wonder if this is just a phase... i do hope it is.

even weekends find us busy. we raid clearance sales which i got to learn from the forum i belong with, drop by malls and tiangge-lands in the metro, and visit some old friends who are here in the country for christmas.

speaking of christmas, what a way to celebrate it but have a mini-reunion with friends who we rarely see and i'm very excited as there are several dates (i.e. days-off) which is already in my calendar. jude is also extra busy as his friends in don bosco are meeting up regularly now to accommodate their balikbayan friends.

we're also busy attending christmas parties. for tonight alone, we will attend two (and shell out some bucks for the exchange gifts and foods--heck, it's part of the fun!) and by tomorrow, there's another two and one of these is the party of p&g for its employees' kids. then the christmas parties in our office next week... and another christmas party by the homeowners of our subdivision, where i will sit as a secretary of the board next year.

christmas is really a joyous occasion. i wonder what this season has to prompt us to reconnect with people who are/were dear to us, be extra generous, be more cheerful and kind. is it because of the cold weather? or the 13th month pay and bonuses? or is because of a yearful of blessings which make us pay back thru our loved ones and other people, strangers included? i guess it's probably one reason why christmas is on the last month of the year, to conclude the year with kindness and goodness.

thank GOD for this year, thank GOD for this christmas, and thank GOD for the coming new year, especially now that a very big blessing awaits us in 2009.

next year ko na lang ikuwento, baka maudlot... hehe.

hint: it's not a new baby... not yet. =)
