Viva La Vida

I've been listening to this track for like, forever! There's just this natural high when I listen to the violin with a mix of a church-ish bell and of course the voice of Coldplay. It always puts me on the right mood. I feel so much energy from the lyrics that I kept on discovering ways and meanings to interpret it. I love classic music with a play of rock, and this is exactly what it is. I just love it ... For some reason, I can't explain.

It's Christmas!!

Yay! It's Christmas! ...and, I have work. Sad. Sigh.

Oh? Bongga! Got to love SM. Ü

I LOVE CHRISTMAS! I really do. I feel like a child again, really excited when hearing Christmas. That's why it's sad for me to work. Well, actually I don't have work on Christmas Day but I have work on the 24th, which really blows because I love preparing anything for Noche Buena. But, itchowkey... I have to get a nice performance at work anyway. Ugh... Adulthood.

I feel very happy talking to baby Jesus in my prayers. I picture him very fragile and cute. I feel problem free talking to Child Jesus, it's like the world is so new again now that he is born. So advance Happy Birthday! I love you! hehe

Hi Baby Jesus!

Also what makes me happy every Christmas is Family. I love my Family! We are not the picture of a happy and perfect Family, but I love us just the way we are. Our Family drama makes it perfect for me to appreciate the small and good things.

[INSERT HAPPY FAMILY PICTURE HERE]

Of course, friends... They make me happy and blessed. I wouldn't be who I am now without them. What I love about them is that they're really understanding and sweet. Even though we don't get to see each other as often as before (juvenile times... woot!), I know the friendship is there and it stays... Just like Family.

BUT... what makes me happy (as well..) when Christmas is here is the GIFTS!!! (Yay!) I love giving gifts and having gifts for Christmas, that's why I have made a tradition for myself. Colleagues and friends usually give their gifts weeks before Christmas, some open theirs the minute they had gifts but not me. My tradition is I always TRY to open them on our Noche Buena Feast, it's something I look forward to when the clock strikes 12. Not weird, it just excites the inner kid in me.

Photo not me. hehe Ü

This Christmas, I have received a lot of gifts from my new office and friends. I left them still unopened and I can't wait for Noche Buena!

Another Christmas tradition of mine is to give myself a gift. I just think of it as a gift from Baby Jesus. My first gift for myself this year would be a planner. And this FILED Planner is so CUTE!!! I cannot wait to write on them and color the doodles! I discovered it at Saab Magalona's blog and she's having a contest for the planner. But I think I'm not the luckiest when it comes to contests and raffles, so I'll just buy instead. Here's their website.

Isn't CUTE?! there are doodles inside you can color.

It has a pen holder too. NOICE!

  Another gift I'm so obsessing about is the KOR Hydration Vessel. I love using tumblers, unfortunately my favorite one from Starbucks was gone. It made me really sad because it was a Valentine's gift from Honey. But itchowkey... I found a replacement! hehehe I'm  getting myself the small KOR Delta so I could easily bring it anywhere (and it's a cheaper! *wink). What I love about this bottle is this is not just a bottle... it's a hydration vessel! hehehe Seriously, i like it because its design, very futuristic yet chic. And I'm obsessed with any colored purple (it's not obvious in my blog design... right?) I wish I could get one before the year ends! Here's where you can order.

This bottle, because of it's price, would be my only drinking container for 2012. Choz!

Cute!

Another thing I'll buy myself this Christmas is the Swatch Bracelets!

Cute Right!? I want all five of them! (...as if I could wear them all at the same time?!?!) I just wish Swatch have them here in the Philippines. I saw it on their website and it's a bit pricey for this kind of bracelet. So if ever Swatch have them here I'm just going to buy the red one first... hehehe. My friend has a bracelet like this, a black one, but she found it in Greenhills Tiange. So if I can't afford all of these I'll just go to Greenhills. *wink 

I know Christmas is very near, like 5 days near - and I can't buy this in one spending galore just for me to have something on Christmas day. I'll just have them on my list and probably get a hold of them by the end of the year... or by the end of January... Or Feb. Arggghhh! I just want these stuff for Christmas! So If you are really true, SANTA?! This is what I want inside my Christmas Stockings, OKAY!? hahaha

Advance Merry Christmas People!!
