Ohhh... here we go with the ber months.... and before you know it, its xmas and its new year, your wallet's all wiped out and you have this huge credit card bill staring you back in your chubby, chubby face... you're broke and you're fat. Just fabulous....



But hey! Cheer up, christmas isn't supposed to be that way. Its the time of the year when you and your family hold gatherings and reunions (even if you're dreading to see that fugly cousin of yours, who's just gonna brag just how great her new job, new car & new bf of hers is...); an excuse for a get-together with friends, whom you only get to see during weddings, birthdays or funerals; and the time to spend all you hard-earned 13th month pay and bonuses... if your company gives such (you lucky bastard!).



For me, December is the time when I budget my 13th month pay, as early as October (yeah, the OC in me) for those that I will be giving gifts to, the amount allocated for each person, and what that person likes/ wants. It's also the time when me & my college friends have our "xmas party"... be it anywhere. Last 2005, it was held on our house because of my uhum, "sensitive state" back then (I was 8 months preggy).



Last year, we had our xmas reunion at Greenbelt... and God, it was then I realized that we were getting fewer & fewer each year! Maybe this year, it'll just be me, Eman, Karren & Rico & Gemma! Gosh, so sad...



Another thing that I also look forward to during this season is our company's xmas party. Its the time when I get to bond with friends from J&J. But this will be different, coz it'll be the last time I'll see them all. Ou contract with J&J is ending this year, so its bye-bye to my J&J friends. I really feel sad just thinking about this, but hey! Friendships don't stop there! I still keep in touch with my former colleagues from Movieworld and Chase, so it'll be no biggie.



And last, my favorite thing to do during the holidays... what else but shop!!! I so love shopping for xmas gifts, xmas groceries and stuff. Its the time of the year when I have an excuse to go to Divisoria and splurge on cheap but fabulous finds! I literally wipe my wallet clean whenever I shop on bazaars or malls during the holidays, and usually I end up owing my mom some money. I hate it.

So whatever your thing is for the holidays, enjoy and make the most out of it! This season only comes once a year. Make it enjoyable for you & your loved ones.
