Got very busy for Christmas so I’ve no time logging on and blogging on. Anyways, these what happen during the week…

Noche Buena… I prepared my undying macaroni salad na muntik pang pumalpak. Buti na lang ate Lennox came to the rescue and it turned deliciously right. Kuya Jhay arrived 10:30pm along with his surprise. It was really a surprise when he came home with a girl, and what’s more surprising when he announced that they’re getting married soon. Well, you just don’t know how timid he is and I just can’t imagine how he able to get a girl. Anyways, we gave her a warm welcome and officially included her to our family. Kuya Noel and family dropped by at exactly twelve they went first to their in laws. While my other brothers spent Noche Buena to their own house lang.

Christmas Day… Who else couldn’t come…Kuya Roy and his family, malayo daw and its traffic na raw. They called up anyway. The rest of my brothers came for lunch and to collect their gifts and gave gifts. My cousins from Canada called up too and so my friends. Some of my friends texted me but I felt disappointed when I texted Jeremy and he replied : cno ka?. One month lang kaming di nag-txt eh di na nya ko kilala? O baka somebody else owned the sim or the one holding the cell was his girlfriend. Whatever! He didn’t bother to greet me then fine, he’s not the only friend I’ve got.

Day after Christmas… I felt really tired…so I just sleep the whole day.

Today… preparing for New Year.

The party I've planned turned great yesterday. It was the best family bonding we ever had syempre gifts were flowing and who else was very happy...syempre the kids. They collected a lot of toys and candies. I got a gell-soap, lotion and perfume from my monita and a blouse from my extra sis. After gift-giving, I served dinner and put out some san-mig light and turned on the videoke. Syempre the mic was always with me kahit na I always get a bad score...wa' ako paki. The party ended twelve.

I've nothing to post. I just dont have anything to do while waiting for my younger brother to petch me here in the office. He's not doing me a favor, its me actually who'll do the favor. Ewan ko ba kung bakit, ilang beses na kaming pabalik-balik sa mall eh hindi pa rin nya nakumpleto ang bibilhin nya. Kaainis ha! Ayoko sana pero sa sobrang kulit...sige na nga. So its gonna be another bloody shopping. Sta Lucia Grandmall is also crowded, been there a week ago and Im pretty sure it's double today. See it's Saturday and just two days away for Noche Buena plus Christmas Party everywhere, so I'm sure people are panic buying. Ops, think his here na...gotta go! Gonna kill him later.

Heading my way to office I saw a little kid crying-out-loud. I guess he’s about 2 years old. He wore only a spider-man sando, no slippers, no short and with dirt all over him. He was crying and calling his mother. Obviously he’s lost. I blame his mother for that. I don’t wanna be judgmental here since I don’t exactly know the reason why he was left. But as far as I know, mother should take good care of her children ‘coz they are angels. I worried about that kid, I just wonder what would happen if he didn’t finds his mother. Would he be one of the kalabit-penge-boys, or be another rugby-boys, or a future snatcher. OMG! I hope and pray that nothing bad will happen and please let him find his mother just like what You did to me.

Yup! I was lost too when I was four. We were in the market and my Mom thought that my brother was holding me, while my brother thought it was my Mom holding me. They didn’t know I was missing until they got home. She got all the blame in the world. While me, was crying and calling my Mom’s name. I let my feet find the way out of the market, and when I saw the exit I wiped my tears and run the way there but a doll vendor stopped me. He thought I’m gonna cross the street. Afraid that I might be hit, he carried me and let me sit beside his wife, a banana-Q vendor, and gave me some banana-Q. I didn’t eat it ‘coz I’m not finish crying but when I got tired I stopped for a minute and tried to eat them yet t’was hot. Meanwhile, my Mom decided to go to the police station. On her way there, she spotted me sitting in the banana-Q stand. When I saw my mom, I cried louder and harder as I could. She hugged me and kissed me, saying sorry and trying to stop me from crying. She was so thankful and overwhelmed with joy and gave thanks to the couple. Before we leave, the vendor lady gave me a newly cooked banana-Q ‘coz the one she gave earlier was already cold.

That was one of my unforgettable experience. And how will I forget, my mom always tell that story, not just to me but also to my friends. And she always said: Paano kaya kung di kita nakita, siguro taga-Antipolo ka na rin saka nagtitinda ka na rin ng banana-Q sa palengke. And I always answered: Kung di mo ko nakita e di wala ka sanang magandang anak …hehehe!! Whatever fault she made then, was already been paid. She gave the best care to the nine of us siblings. And still giving care to us and to her apo’s. In fairness ha, she’s the best mom ever.

My mom said that the vendor couple is now selling kasoy, kalamay, suman and other native food at the Antipolo Church since the old market was demolished. I can’t remember their faces anymore, but what they’ve done to me will remain in my heart forever.

Before I finally wrap all the gifts, I checked my lists for the last time to be sure I didn’t miss someone. Ok then…kids will have their gifts on Christmas and so the oldies. I’m almost done with my shopping spree. Yup! Almost…I accomplished the gifts but I still have few more things to buy for myself. I didn’t able to buy everything last Sunday ‘coz it was a rush and I have no taga-bitbit and no car so I just left the least important and promised myself to buy them after Christmas na lang. I thought my brother will come with me kasi, so I kept convincing him the whole Sunday morning to have his shopping that day, in the end he said “No! I have folder to finish”. “Ok fine! I’ll go by myself, I’ll just take FX na lang”. I just imagined how crowded the Megamall is…and me shopping alone…I don’t think I can make it kaya medyo tinamad ako non and just watched na lang SOP. It was already 4pm when I decided to go na rin, not in Megamal but just to the nearest mall…sa Ever Gotesco Mall. Its not that crowded so my shopping was fine. I got home 8pm. Now, my brother is calling me and asked me if I wanna come. “No thanks, I’m in the office and anyway I’m done…get me something na lang…hehehe!!!”

A Walk To Remember

I’m not actually a Mandy Moore fan though I like her song “Cry” and that’s the only reason why I grab the tape from Video City. Can’t choose a channel to watch so I just played the video and watched A walk To Remember. It was a typical love story and was commonly use in TV drama like in “Maalaala Mo Kaya”, I can say I’m a fan of this drama series, it always makes me cry. Anyway, I like the movie and it really touched my heart and I kinda had regret for not coming with my friend to watch it on big screen. Now I like Mandy Moore but I like Shane West better. Lei was right he looks like her ex-boyfiend and had the same character with Landon ( West ). I now understand why Lei suddenly miss him ‘coz I do miss him too. He’s really a sweet good friend, a kind of friend you’ll never forget. Yet I still don’t have a hint of what’s going on with him but I hope he’s in good health and I wish to see him again.

And oh! I remember … December is his birthday, just don’t exactly know the day but anyway … wherever you are … advance or belated Happy Birthday Boni!!!

SUNDAY....I went malling with my brothers and bought gifts for our pamangkin. What I got for myself was nothing but a headache and a body pain. Grabe ang kapal ng tao, good thing Im with my brothers, I able to survive. Well, ang importante, the kids will have gifts to receive on Christmas.

MONDAY...My sis and I started wrapping and we didnt able to finish them kasi wala na kaming wrapper and its already 12 midnight, super antok na ko.

TUESDAY...I cant wait for Christmas...

hello!!! I've got no post for the past few days because this PC was not cooperating. I always end up shutting this down. I've no PC of my own...kawawa naman me...but my brothers have. But right now they're rushing up for his Year Book project so I could'nt make singit.

Anyways, for the past few days I've been busy planning and collecting money for our family Christmas Party. At the end of the week I'm going to have a bloody shopping to buy give aways, gifts and other stuff for the party. Expect a lot of people there especially Sunday...my gosh...get yourself ready. But I have no choice, Sunday is my only free day kaya nga pati gimik ko wala na. Naiinip na nga ako sa bakasyon, I miss hanging out with my friends and Christmas break is the only time na nagkakasama-sama uli kami. Haay! Sana pasko na...Merry Christmas in advance !!!!
