My Space. My Life

Christmas, families gathering, food all around, people giving and receiving gitfs… It’s the most wonderful time of the year. For the most part I agree. But there is this one thing I hate about Christmas…

Insensitive people asking why i don’t have a baby yet.

I know some people mean well but somehow, it offends me. It’s as if we chose not to have one. God knows how much I want to have a baby; I want it - we want our little angel more than you will ever know.

To you who often ask me why we do not have a baby yet, the answer is I DO NOT KNOW! Please, the conflicting emotions are hard enough, do not make me answer that very awkward question anymore as it hurts me more than you know. It brings a lot of very very conflicting emotions.

God can only answer that question and maybe you should try asking Him. It’s only when He says it’s time.

Sorry for being blunt. I guess I just got so frustrated with people always asking. I guess most of you wouldn’t know my frustration of not getting pregnant, but at least now you know how I feel about it and maybe the questions would stop. =,(

Happy Holidays everyone! May you and your family have a blessed, peaceful and properous new year!

Commercial muna…

Narinig ko tong conversation na to sa elevator namin sa office…

Guy 1: Pano ba pumunta dun?

Guy 2: Basta kumaliwa ka tapos iderecho mo

Guy 1: Sa may LTO?

Guy 2: Oo dun nga, tapos sa dulo ng tubig na buhay andun yung pag-asa

X-D I couldn’t stop laughing. Panalo! Now you know kung saan hahanapin ang pag-asa

7 days ’til Christmas. What has happened so far? Hmm..

1. We’re done with our Christmas shopping, yey! Gifts are all packed, wrapped and ready to be given out.

Non-solicited tips

a. Keep your current Christmas list and just add from there. Hopefully, you won’t have to cross out anyone hehehe.
b. Starting January and the months before Christmas season begins, keep a keen eye on bargains or good finds. If you see something grab it. This is a great way to avoid the holiday rush and the throngs of people in the malls. But sometimes, there’s the thrill of doing Christmas shopping whilst pushing past people. Hehehe! Oh well, different strokes for different folks!
c. Buy your Christmas wrappers and boxes by bulk in Divisoria. It’s cheaper and you can always use the extra wraps for next year’s holdiday season. The extra boxes, you can use for other occasions.

2. I got my early Christmas gift. My very own Canon Powershot S3 IS.

I love it! I’m a certified trigger happy person nowadays You may visit my Photoblog here. I’m just beginning though, so please excuse my shots hehehe!

3. Last Sunday was another bonding day with my family. My mom had to meet a long time friend at the SM Mall of Asia. We trekked there to see what the mall looked like and all. It was huge! We had a grand time making chika while walking around.

The mall was huge kaya lang the stores and the restos are small. Nakakafrustrate maghanap ng makakainan! All the restos were full! I don’t know, maybe because the mall is new and it’s the holiday season, plus it was Sunday. It took us almost an hour to find a place to eat and another 30 minutes to find a free table.

After lunch we again made rounds but our feet gave up on us! We were supposed to go home na but my youngest brother who was in Pasay at that time texted us that he was going to join us for dinner. We decided to trek to Starbucks and just as expected, it was full to the brim. There were a lot of people just sitting there without any starbucks product. My parents decided to sit by the fountain area to relax their tired feet. They shared some snacks.

Hihi, they looked cute! Parang lovers in luneta ay Paris nalang para kunyari sosyal. hehehe!

After some time, my sister and I decided to go back and check out starbucks again. Gosh, the line was loooong. My sister was quick enough to snag some sofa seats after we got our drinks. My parents were like: “Thank God!” and slumped into the sofa. We stayed there and chatted for some time until my youngest brother arrived. We chatted some more. Who knows what time we’ll be able to find a place for dinner.

When we got out of starbucks, tons of people were rushing past us! Good thing there was a free concert by the Philharmonic Orchestra and San Miguel Chorale. They kept us relaxed. The Philharmonic Orchestra gave a great rendition of the Star Wars theme! Ang galeng! When we’ve had our fill of great music, we capped our MOA trip with great dinner and kuento at the Bangus restaurant. I loved their boneless bangus. Their calamares was good too! Setting the lovely day was a great view of the fireworks display! Too bad my camera was low on battery so I wasnt able to get nice shots.

Haay! I just love spending time with my family.
