Papa Jesus and Ninong Santa

one day...



Ninong Santa: oh, anung problema Hesus? bakit ka sad?

Papa Jesus: nagseselos ako sa 'yo eh..

Ninong Santa: sa akin? baket naman?

Papa Jesus: eh kasi mas sikat ka.. ikaw ang inaabangan ng mga tao, eh ako kaya ang may birthday!

Huwag natin sanang makalimutan ang tuay na diwa ng pasko!

Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat!

pre-Christmas thoughts

ok. it's just 4 days before Christmas. i don't have any plans. i think about a lot of things. i have a lot of ideas and issues running through my mind. let me enumerate and expound on some of them.

should i shop for this Christmas? well, as we all know, a lot of people right now are being materialistic about Christmas. and i'm a little bit guilty about that. but it's not for me, i'm thinking if i'm still gonna buy gifts for my parents and siblings. though i still don't have any idea what to give them this year. last year, i gave my sister a badminton racket which she wished/asked from me which she still haven't used a single time, i gave my brother a watch which he only wore a few months, i gave my father a rubber shoes which he sometimes wear, and i gave my mom a computer chair (i shared with my bro), and all of these i bought on 24th of December. gee, i am still undecided.

gifts for inaanaks, i really never had any idea on what gifts to give for my inaanaks, puro naman pamangkin ko yung mga yun.. as always, i just give them money, but does it really matter to them? should i really give something? well, that's not the role of being ninongs/ninangs, but reality check, they expect you to "give" something... for the "spirit" of Christmas. but hey, that's not it. you should know what it is.

family reunion, what will happen now? will there be one? sa father side, i know, there would be... sa mother side??? hmmm... sana, nagkaron kasi ng issues months ago with my mom and my sick lola. the problem is with my sick, "im-always-right" lola... i haven't seen her since the issue happened... how bad of me... well, i think, believe and hopes very much that there would be a reunion. as always, we have a noche buena at my lola's house/boarding house. my cousins, aunts, uncles, etc would come early Christmas morning from Pagsanjan, then we'll have a party buong madaling araw. foods, kwentuhan, kantahan, sayawan, gift-giving, pila-pila sa bigay-bigay, laro, etc. then they would leave early morning, around 5am to 7am to go back to Pagsanjan to be with their other relatiives (other side).. then my parents and me and my siblings would go to LB. for another family reunion..

problem set, we have a problem set in one of our Masteral Subjects, good thing the other one did not make it to give us another one, the classes were cancelled so we did not meet. geesh, i'm still not in the mood of doing such.

gala/bakasyon, gusto kong gumala, magliwaliw, magbakasyon, either mag-isa, or may kasamang pinsa, barkada, family and the likes. basta, gusto kong mag-unwind. gusto ko san mag-tagaytay or basta out-of-laguna... hayy, maka-experience naman ng kakaiba, mag-hotel or whatsoever.. hayyy... i need a break..

reasearch, i had some issues with the research team, basta nawala ako sa focus gumawa, nawalan ako ng interest for some time, parang hindi aoko ganun kahanda, napagalitan/napagsabihan na ako, fine! handa naman ako dun, it's my fault. that's it.

officemates, i miss them, i miss playing trumps with them, i actually bought a deck of cards the last time we were together from festi, and we played inside the van, mga adik kasi... grabe, super miss ko na sila... wala pa akong gifts for therm, last year, i gave keychains, mickey/minnie mouse keychains, mahilig ako sa keychains, mickey.minnie dahil year of the rat, ngayon wala pa ako maisip... nadagdagan pa sila... hehe..

and a lot more... tinatamad na ako mag-isip at magtype, tapos na ang CSI.. ciao!
