Last Christmas

It’s a bit overdue but I didn’t have easy access to the internet when I was on vacation in the Philippines. We have decent internet connection at hand but our PC is still the old Pentium III and I didn’t want to test my patience with it either. So how was my Christmas 2009? […]

It’s been a while since I’ve last put up the Christmas tree at home. In fact, we’d never put up a Christmas for more than 5 years. Because of Shaynna and Kiera, my 2-year old niece, I bugged my mother until she gave in. Two weeks ago, Shaynna happily told me over […]

It’s almost Christmas! Many people are going to colder places to experience “white Christmas”. Others prefer something like myrtle beach vacation rentals. In my case, nothing could contain my happiness and excitement to go home to the Philippines.
I’ve spent the last three Christmas seasons in Japan. Christmas day there is a work day. To avoid […]

I’ll be posting photos of different Christmas trees here in Singapore. The photo below was taken at Vivo City. This huge Christmas tree had been there when we were on our way to Sentosa on November 1.

When I was a child, I loved Christmas because I love receiving gifts! I always look forward to what my parents prepared for me. Though due to financial constraints, I didn’t always receive gifts from my parents. But still, I was happy. My godparents live far from my hometown so I […]

Thinking of Christmas

Christmas Day is undoubtedly almost everyone’s favorite day. That’s why, I couldn’t help but think about Christmas even if it’s still July! I just hope I could go home this Christmas. I’ve spent the last two Christmases away from home. My father may have already left us, but the children at […]

A few more minutes and it’s gonna be Christmas. As I laid down on my bedroom floor, beside me were 5 empty bottles of beer, I thought of home…
Nah, I didn’t drink even a single drop of something alcoholic. First, I only drink when I badly need sleep, but I no longer do that. Second, […]
Christmas Eve 2007
Posted on December 24, 2007 - Filed Under Christmas, Friends, Things I love | Leave a Comment
I went out this afternoon, not with a Japanese guy, but with a Japanese gal and a friend, Akane-san. Since most of the Japanese are not Christians, Christmas here is celebrated not like the way I am used to.
Indeed, some Japanese families now practice gift-giving but for those who are single and/or available, Christmas day […]

08:00 - 10:00 I clean the house as ordered, and my mother leaves the house for other tasks.

Here my Christmas wishes for those who are closest to me:
1. A trip abroad for my parents. My mother have always wanted to have a passport and a “stamp” on her passport. Also, they haven’t been to a holiday ever. So this would serve as their 30th year honeymoon!
2. Little […]
What If?

This was a pre-Christmas tag from Rolando, then Sani just recently tagged me with it.
What are the 5 gifts you would buy for yourself this Christmas, if you had unlimited income?
Unlimited, you say? So here goes not just my Christmas wishes but these have been my dreams…
1.) Sponsor anyone’s education if he/she deserves it. […]

Time to self-inflict homesickness again, so I scanned through my memory bank for 13 gifts that I could still recall receiving. Truth be told, I haven’t received much “material” gifts from parents and family members because we didn’t really practice buying gifts for family members. But the love our parents shower us is […]
