Giving gifts

Are you guilty of giving generic gifts?
Generic gifts meaning one same gift for all. It may differ in color but still the same mug, ballpen, pouch, bag, etc. etc.
Well, I'm quite guilty of it. Only quite, of course, for this season for all my god-children; dolls and toy soldiers.
For my officemates, hierarchy of working relationship applies here... hehehe! don't get me wrong, it just follows.
The degree of friendship counts. And so at this stage, each friend I buy specific special gift. That's why whenever I do my Christmas gift shopping, it has to be on different dates or else 24 hrs wouldn't be enough to find what I'm looking for.
Thank God for this years' blessings amidst recession and calamities. I still have enough to share for all the people close to my heart and even for some who are in need.

It's better to give than to receive...
Enjoy the cool wind and warm hugs this season brings... (^_^,)

Christmas Emoti-songs

Admit it or not, this season is heightened by emotions... Whether you're feeling blue or red or yellow or pink... the air is infectious... And for the lonesome hearts... (including mine, yep! since me and my beau are miles apart), I wanna share some of my all time favorite Christmas emoti-songs as I called it. That whenever I hear it, I can't help myself but to sing all along with much reminiscing and hopefulness, (perhaps) but not actually saddens my heart instead brings a tiny smile while going back down the memory lane.

4. Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways,
"Merry Christmas to you."
- the melody is just so soft and inviting...

3. Perfect Christmas
My idea of a perfect Christmas
is to spend it with you
in a party or dinner for two
anywhere will do
- yeah! i still wish for a perfect christmas...

2. Christmas Won't be the Same Without You
Christmas won't be the same without you (without you)
Christmas won't be the same if you go
All I need to see standing by my
Christmas tree (is you)
- haaayy!

1. Sana Ngayong Pasko
Sana ngayong Pasko
Ay maalala mo pa rin ako
Hinahanap-hanap pag-ibig mo
- oh well! this song said it all...

Kiss

Happy birthday to my Loveko...

Missing you so much...

Mmmwahhh...

Christmas...

Wrapped in fancy, shiny paper, tied with gold-glittered ribbon... who doesn't expect to receive any gifts this season?

Well, somehow I do!
I don't know, after 6 years of celebrating Christmas away from home... I kinda learned to breathe Christmas air quietly alone... Well, I may sound sad and lonely, but I've worked it out after all this time, (believe me!).

Obviously, my company is my mobile phone... Of course, given are txt greetings from friends and phone calls. But, I won't be hiding the fact that I still wish to have "A Perfect Christmas"... but for now, I've settled myself to celebrate Christmas day with a mass, over pizza and pasta from a fast food, vodka cruiser, christmas carols on the background while opening gifts from friends...in my little abode.

But, Yeah! it may not be too much to expect a little surprise after all...

And so, I'll just sing my heart out...

...Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams...
