Happy Holidays!

I'm back at work today from my christmas vaca. So how's everyone? Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

About a week ago, I doubt that we'll have a happy noche buena this year but I was wrong. My mindset was changed when I went to hear a mass and the priest said "Decide if you want to be merry this Christmas". I told this to my sibs and they too decided to have a merry christmas and not worry (just for one day) about our problems.

My older brother and I are the ones in charge of cooking. I created the menu and he helped with the cooking. We cooked chicken alfredo, mashed potato, fried chicken, nachos, panna cotta, ham, etc. The best part is sharing one table with our family and the newest member, little Akiko Savannah. She made our Christmas more special.

The next day, 25th, was our family's annual reunion/christmas party and as always we all had a blast laughing and playing games. My cousins spent the night in our house just like the old days when they used to spend the summer with us. Funny thing though that we (6 big persons) slept in one room, despite having 3 spare rooms, and kwentuhan til we fell asleep. This is how our parents brought us up because that's how they grew up. They wanted us to be closer and treat one another as sibs. I love them like my own brothers and sisters! Oh how I miss being young.

Christmas is about family. Need I to say more?

New Year's Resolution... NOT!

I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE ANY RESOLUTIONS THAT I WANT TO DO OR ACCOMPLISH BY 2011. Coz I always end up not accomplishing ANY from my "list". But this I promise, is true, I'll do better and be great this 2011 and the years after that. That's the only way I know how to live these days despite everything that's been happening around me.

2010 taught me to not give up easily, to have faith, to love and to be merry, to not judge, to not hate, to understand and to be great. 2010 is the worst year in my 21 years of existence, as I turn 22 next year, I still have lots of things to learn and experience. I'm taking it one day at a time step by step. Most importantly, 2010 has taught me to slow down and think every actions and decisions I have to make for it will decide what will happen in the future.

As Christmas is fast approaching, I can only thank all my friends, my family, and those, thru their simple actions, made me feel loved and appreciated. I hope I echoed that appreciation. I do wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. This is my gift to you, my sincerity as a friend, a relative, and as a good child of the Lord.

To Him, thank you for always being there. I used to question your power and existence but now I know that you have plans for all of us and I offer my all to you. Things happen for a reason and this is just your way of teaching us to learn from our mistakes. Thank you for all the problems, it made me stronger. It made me realize my shortcomings.

xxoo, _M

MY CHRISTMAS WISH THIS YEAR: A NOKIA C7

I know I already asked for a fossil watch here but since my brother gave me his old swatch watch (tonguetwisteralert!) I'm OK with a hand me down. But but this NOKIA C7 will make my 2010 year a little better.

Dear Santa, I've been a good girl this year and I deserve this C7. Please make me a happy kid this Christmas, pretty please?
It's my dream phone! I'm dying to own this sexy C7!

I love everything about it and it's about time for my 4-year old phone to retire. A cellphone perfect for my blogging because of it's 8MP camera (ya heard it right), updating my socnets (social networks) with it's integrated social networks feature and just to show and brag the beauty of C7 because of it's sleek design that is hard to not notice.

It takes my breath away. *drools* Can make anyone jealous!

New work x Love

Nice. That can pass as a clothing store name.  One month since I've started working here. So far so good. My officemates are nice and they welcomed me well. It's just a little lonely during lunch since I eat alone, when there's no intern. It made me miss my former officemates more. We were like family (crazy siblings) during lunch. We eat, laugh, tease, and get drunk together. Those were the days when it didn't feel like I was working at all. But I'm happy where I am right now. I need to be serious with work! So not me. LOL

My BOYS

Uhm not really. LOL

Been fangirling for a week now because of Sungkyunkwan Scandal's Lee Sun Joon (portrayed by Micky Yoochun of JYJ). A week of series and movies exchange with my boss and Shiri, my new friend. Then I realized that there's something in common with them...

Micky Yoochun of JYJ

from his twitter account

I really really like him in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. His character, is my type of guy.

He smiles with his eyes and lips and look at those cheeks! LOL

Yoo Ah-in from Sungkyunkwan Scandal

 Lee Min Ho from Boys Over Flowers

Jerry Yan from Meteor Garden

If you already watched the shows I've mentioned above, you have an idea what type of guy turns me on. Yeah, I like guys (or the characters that they are playing) that are reserved, clean looking, romantic, has a bad boy image, smart, has a lot of sense of humor, humble, will do anything to protect me, is comfortable of himself and of course, will love my imperfections. I don't like very pretty (prettier than me) looking guys and playboys. I had my fair share of playboys and it didn't go well.

I'm going gaga over Micky Yoochun right now. Watched all his videos last night in youtube and I'm in love. HAHAHA. This too shall pass. And this is why I kinda hate watching Korean drama esp that has a romantic comedy theme. I always fell in love with the leading man. I'm a hopeless romantic. *sigh* How I wish I can meet one of them (especially Micky Yoochun, I added him on twitter lolz)! In my dreams. I need to wake up soon but I'd rather sleep and never wake up coz Yoochun's in it! *evilsmirk

What stuck to me the most with what my boss' said about boys was...

Don't rush to marry or fall in love. It'll come your way when you least expect it.

 So Micky Yoochun, when I visit Korea someday please make it sure that our paths will cross. ;)
