and so this is Christmas?...........

_________________________


I donno what's wrong with me.Christmas is my favorite season of the year. T's the time kung kelan pakiramdam ko sinusunog ang puwet ko, sa excitement~~~~~literally ---.

But this year is different,
I know it's all around me,
in the Christmas lights in the street,
in the radio waves, in the blogosphere,
in television, and even in the beggars
in the street who are taking advantage of
the season for sharing and giving......

.....but not in me, not in my heart.
I am not feeling chrtistmas yet and I am
not forcing myself to feel it.

I just go with the flow,
the usual stuff, going around,
malling, looking
for possible good buys for
gifts and that kinda stuffs AND DOIN some self pampering.

________________________

finally had the time to watch twilight last Sunday. Teresa and her sister Sheila were so yellow....






I don't care if the whole world already seen it. I'm glad all I knew was that it's a love-story vampire movie. I guess it helped coz I enjoyed the movie. Now i am a Twilight fanatic.....

________________________________

Then this Saturday, we're in SM Mall of Asia to meet my brother's girlfriend, Ate LAIKA.





.....turns out to be a good timing coz after more than a hundred visits in this mall, it's my first to be here during a fireworks display which tales place every Friday and Saturday nights at around 7pm.

Managed to capture a few shots.....
















... I don't know what but something in me definitely died and I couldn't feel Christmas the way I used to.

About the fireworks, I hoped it was loud enough to spark the excitement in me again, but it didn't. Well, I guess I have to keep searching, but where do I start? Should I look inward or continue going around with the hope that the Christmas spirit gets me before the season end......

  11. I appreciated Christmas fully when I was 6 til 14 years old. somewhere there...

    Im shallow kasi, so I associated Christmas with gifts I received.

    Then I've gone matured and I have to buy gifts (to give)... Then I started to like Christmas less.

    ReplyDelete
  12. The charm of Christmas is no longer with me. Maybe because it is too commercialized. I still get a thrill when I send monetary gifts to people in Pinas who are in need, Christmas or no Christmas.I just wish I can do it more often with more.

    ReplyDelete
  13. OMG..Ur fireworks photos are really nice!! :D Are u using compact camera or SLR?

    And btw, probably when Christmas comes, you will feel the joy. Take it easy k? ;)

  29. Fireworks is something I miss in pinas maybe because Christmas here is observe differently. I mean I can always tell that when the month started to end with ...ber Christmas songs are heard in the air, colorful lanterns are hang, even imitation Christmas tree are lit up in the malls and houses and who can forget the fireworks? Fireworks here are save for 4th of July but at least we have a good dinner party other than that there's not much to say. MAkauwi nga next year...
