the star

Today is Christmas Day. My second Christmas away from home. For the past few years, I haven’t felt the Christmas spirit that much anymore. Mainly because we can’t celebrate Christmas together as a family.

I miss those days when we laugh, talk, eat, and pray together even if all we had was a simple meal for our Noche Buena. I remember one Christmas when I was grumpy and sad because everyone was so tight with the money. Funny, now that we could somehow afford to buy something other than our basic needs; I somehow long for those days when we can’t, those days when we were together, when we were complete.

Well it’s true that money is the lifeblood of any organization, or of the society for that matter but I have realized this fundamental truth: it is LOVE that makes the world go round. It really is love.

As I lay awake waiting for Christmas Day to come to an end and still hoping for Santa to grant my wishes, I have come to my senses that the Christmas spirit is just right here with me all along. Love never disappears nor does it fade away with each mile that we are apart; it lingers on and it stays true to its promise that where there is love, there is genuine happiness. Christmastime or not, I have my family here with me, in my heart, for it is love that keeps us together. And that's all that matters.

the silly tattle ramble

My sister tagged me on a note in facebook and I thought of answering it as well. 
Here goes nothing:

What was the first thing you did this morning?
~opened my eyes. nah, just rolled over on the other side of the bed and slept right back again. hehe

What is your favorite cereal?
~i'm not used to eating cereals coz they're expensive. but yeah, COCO CRUNCH is yum yum. chocolatey!

Would you rather marry a millionaire that is unfaithful or middle class worker that only has eyes for you?
~neither. I already have a millionaire whose eyes are only for me. and i mean, a gazillionaire of love. beat that! haha

Would you rather have a job that requires strength of the body or the mind?
~neither (again). i would choose the job that requires the strength of the heart. everything else will follow.

How old were you when you had your first kiss?
~uhm.. let's see. first real kiss would have to be when i was 20 years old, more or less a month shy from my 21st birthday. ugh, i miss you.

If you were the opposite sex for a day, what would be the first thing you'd do?
~wear a brief/boxers! i wonder how it feels like wearing those. hahaha. the rest of the day would be spent with my boyfriend para bromance. hi, dude. we're cool right? :)

What is the scariest thing that has ever happened in your life 
(that you can share)?
~the scariest thing? to be in love. with life. with dreams. with you. being a lil' scared made me realize that what i have is something i value, something that i could not afford to lose. something and someone i won't take for granted.

Would you ever consider plastic surgery?
~why not? but if and only if i get into nasty gorry accidents.

What skill do you feel is stronger: your math skills or your english skills?
~oh bummer! i suck at both. but i think my english skills are better. just don't let me talk in public. hehe

Are you following the Presidential race?
~election diay? haha

Do you consider yourself more of a liberal or a conservative?
~liberally conservative. i'm willing to compromise.

If you could spend a day in another person's body, living their life; who would it be and why?
~"Intense love does not measure, it just gives." Mother Teresa.

If you had to choose, would you rather be blind or deaf?
~now that's tough. umm.. i'd rather be blind, i guess. i don't need my eyes to see the beauty of the world or see the goodness of a person. i feel it with my heart.

Who is the one person who can always make you laugh?
~myself. haha. i'm crazy, you know. hahaha! di bitaw, myself. coz if i hadn't allowed myself to be with other people in the first place, then i wouldn't be able to appreciate the gift of laughter.

What are you passionate about?
~LOVE. not just the romantic type. but love at its purest forms.

Do you believe in abortion?
~nope. as what Mother Teresa once said: "If a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me?" There is definitely nothing in between. Pro-choice, yes. I won't condemn you if you choose to do it.  

Imagine you're an inmate waiting on death row. What would you request for your last meal?
~i'd probably go on a diet. i haven't tried that in my entire life! hahaha

What is the one trait that is mandatory in a potential partner?
~HONESTY. not just the i-haven't-told-you-a-single-lie type of honesty but i want him not to keep anything from me. choosing not to share something may not account to lying but you are not totally being honest either. did i make any sense? lol

Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
 ~happily home. wherever home may be.
