Christmas! It's Christmas!

The past two weeks has been a whirlwind for me. I was so busy I didn't realize I haven't been blogging and December just crept up on me. I only realized it was December when I remembered Sunshine's birthday yesterday. My Mom's 75th birthday is next week and I'm glad my sister is here -- we're planning a simple birthday party for her (shhhh she doesn't know yet).

Inasmuch I started preparing for Christmas early I haven't made a dent on my Christmas list. I said earlier that I would make most of my gifts -- some are already 'growing' and some I have to work on in the evenings. Hopefully I'll be able to successfully make my home-made gifts. Career yan ha!


I was getting something for visitors yesterday at SM Kultura and saw a section called "Gifts for a Cause". They had some awesome stuff like bags made out of recycled newspapers (I like!) and doy packs (Zesto!). I'll probably come back to buy some stuff there. I remember my Mom got me a storage box made out of Zesto doy packs last year and it's quite sturdy and easy to clean. All my wedding related stuff is in it.


Anyway, I'm pretty sure a lot of you are freaking out with the heavy traffic all over the metro. In case you encounter a bad taxi driver you can report it via SMS to the LTFRB hotline - 0921-4487777. (It works!).

Can't Stop Christmas!

Brrrrrr!!!

That was my first thought when I arrived the other day from Baguio. I thought I already escaped the cold Baguio weather. And I soon realized after seeing all the blinking lights and the red, green and gold decor at the Gateway Mall that Christmas is just around the corner!

I have a confession to make... I have not even made my Christmas list and have not started shopping for anything. I have, however, managed to put up a mini-Christmas tree at my basement (okay... so it was actually Miguel who put it up, but hey at least I made him do it, hehehe) and since my Mom wanted a new tree Sweetie was really kind enough to accompany me to find one, so last weekend we ended up at this huge store in Sucat and found this really scary Santa -


Much as it was inexpensive I didn't want to scare myself and the kids who'd be visiting home, so I dropped the idea of buying any decor at that store. Perhaps it'd work for a Halloween Christmas spoof eh? LOL.
