Yuletide Gushings

Last Saturday, I spent the night decorating the house with Christmas lights, decors and the Christmas tree. Unbelievable as it sounds, I've never decorated a Christmas tree so this one's my reluctant masterpiece. Our theme for this year was golden yellow and burgundy... so I kinda spent my Saturday evening jamming glittery and shiny Christmas balls into the poor tree. We added some simple yellow lights and mom made the finishing touches by adding ribbons to the tree.

Mom fondly told us that when we were little, she was always so hyped up on decorating the house during Christmas. She loved to see our faces smile whenever the lights are on. And those days, we'd have a competition who got the biggest and most number of gifts. We'd try to collect and count them and then wait for midnight on the 25th. And we always saved Santa's gifts for last. Coz they were always the biggest, heaviest and best gifts we ever got. :)

Last Saturday, I had a hardcore session on Christmas decors. I admit that I'm not domesticated but I guess it's not so bad to start now. Especially since I'm planning to get an apartment in the not-so-distant-future. Hello I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-C-E!

************************

I remember October-November last year... we were forced out of our house and then stayed at this old yet neat apartment in Makati. It was soooo much like in the 80s movies I see in Cinema One. The furniture was very old school and it reminded me so much about my childhood. It was a fun time last year. I got to commute everyday! It's fun at first but then it gets tiring, especially since I had to bring a laptop every single time.

At the very least, I find myself very much drawn to the mall across the street. I was in Glorietta every waking moment I'm available! The shops were so near... the cinemas were so convenient (one time, Mao and I watched a movie coz he had to wait for his gf to finish work.. the movie we watched was Cake) ^_^ oohhhh the memories! At that time, all you needed was money!

I have a lot more to gush about... but I'm to sleepy now.. I'll continue tomorrow.
