shopping holiday and other tidbits

i wanted to take advantage of the long weekend to start/finish my christmas shopping... and it did! well, im 90% done. i just need to head to national bookstore to get gifts for all the kids in the family... laking national points, here i come! hahaha!

major bonding time with mom and miah... shopping is such a spiritual thing. and im more than happy with each thing that i bought. next in line: wrapping.

lola toyang was laid to rest yesterday... she was 101. ive never been close to that side of the extended family, but i couldnt help tearing up. something about the intense spirituality of the family struck a chord... i wasnt turned off by any of the professions of faith.. on the other hand, it kinda felt warm, and familiar.

got acquainted with the longest line of second cousins and uncles and all... haha. ill try to remember where everyone fits in the family tree, but its a big family after all... and everyone looks alike! (side hirit: bakit ba mas malakas ang lahi ng tanchoco sa sison! hay)

----------------------------------------

i have officially given up on doing anything "karir" for the christmas party. started thinking for options early, but those didnt work out. and as i found out this weekend, my back-up plans aren't that reliable too... in fact, wala nang naiwan.

so with over 2 weeks left, parang ayaw ko na isipin. ill just grab things from my closet... tas yun na yun. haha!

i have also given up thinking of how to celebrate my birthday. i was hoping to make turning 25 special.. but ive run out of excitement to plan anything. i DID buy 2 buckets of freezers at the bazaar yesterday (straw-raspberry margarita and cosmopolitan)... just i case i want to get drunk. haha.
