It's that time of the year

I love Christmas.

I love arranging the ornaments on our tree (not putting up the tree though).

I love shopping for gifts (and haggling with the "ano hanap nyo ate?" tinderas)

I love the food that magically appears on our fridge everyday (a little melodramatic, but you get what i mean).

I love the surprise when I open the gifts I get (and believe me, most of the time I DO get surprised)

I love the bibingkas and putobumbongs.

I love the ube that our neighbor cooks the traditional way (grate,grate,grate and stir,stir,stir).

I love the time spent away from the stress of work.

I love a lot of things associated with Christmas.

Except one.

I detest being compelled to participate in the christmas party presentations.

I have never deluded myself that I can sing, dance or do anything related to performance art. But for reasons unknown, people seem to not notice.

Either they are way too much into the christmas fever - where even the worst voice is forgivable - or they are way too much desperate to fill the group.

I wish, for once, there will be a group of "non performing assets" at the party - where our only duty is cheer, clap and occasionally heckle. I can be a good heckler. I bet I can even excel at it.

Unfortunately, nobody has bought this idea of mine yet. I think it's an idea way ahead of its time.

So this year, I fear that I am doomed once more.

I really do love christmas!

Bible Reading - anyone?

Would this make you read the Bible?

Twilight

Late bloomer ako.

I saw the movie early this week with a friend. I knew the hype the book and movie was getting with the young adults, but I was not really itching to see the movie. The motivation to go watch was really the dinner and girl-bonding time with my friend.

We came out of the movie laughing at ourselves as we were more taken by Chief Swan and Dr. Carlisle. Daddies na ang attractive sa amin, hinid na ang mga boylets. Haha

Then my cousin-in-law emailed me the book.

Now I understand what the hype is all about.

Now I get Edward Cullen.

Nothing really compares to reading a book and making your own movie in your mind.
