Hooray for Christmas!
Despite everything that's happened, is happening, in my family, I'm still nevertheless thankful this Christmas. I know I never tell my family this, as I am bad at showing feelings, but I am so immensely, profoundly grateful for the fact that we are complete. I whine and grumble all the time but at the end of the day, I still feel honest-to-goodness thankful that no one's sick in my family and that we're all still together. We never know what will happen, so every single day that I go to bed knowing my family's all right, I can't help but say a quick prayer. So thank you universe, thank you Lord, from the bottom of my heart. Take care of them always.
Whew.
Ngayon, tama na ang emo, and let us get onto the fun stuff.
I got great gifts this year, yahoooo! I got Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood and Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake. Yey! Two books that are on top of my must-read list. I'm glad glad glad. I'm currently reading The Space Between Us, by Thrity Umrigar. I've a feeling I'll finish it soon din naman, as it's a page turner. So next up, Norwegian Wood at long last! Let us see what the fuss about Mr.Murakami is all about.
And I got a faux-crocodile skin yellow bag. Sa wakas! It's not the Aldo I wanted, but it's good na rin. I'm a fan of big bags so the yellow bag will suit me just fine.
One of my favorite gifts was this Moleskine calendar notebook from my brother. My brother's right, mol-a-skeen'-a pala ang pronounciation nun. Check this site. Haha kala ko niloloko lang nya ako eh. "Molah skinah molah skinah, mole-skin lang yan eh! Pinaglololoko mo lang ako!" But no, the ehem, learned pronounce it as mol-a-skeen'-ah. His card read, "Dear Mia, this is a reminder to treat each day as if it were your last... because one day it will be." My brother, ladies and gentlemen.
Other gifts that I like were the Mark's and Spencer's Royal Jelly and Pure Honey Gently Refining Sugar Body Scrub and L'Occitane's Super Rich Shea Butter Body Scrub. Yahooey. Ubusin ko muna yung St.Ives' Apricot Scrub tsaka na ko switch ulit dito.
My mom also gave me The Face Shop's Volumizing Mascara and MAC's Mineralize Satinfinish Liquid Foundation. Oh, love!!! I shall write an ode to MAC's foundation, pero dun na sa kabilang blog ko.
Yan ang benefits ng gumagawa ng Christmas Wishlist. I gave it to people (i.e my mom and my cousins hehe, bakit ba) so I was able to avoid more mugs, towels, picture frames. YEAH yeah it's the thought that counts... oh but no not really, haha.
Merry Christmas folks!
