pre xmas blues

As much as i wanna go ahead and enjoy my christmas break to the fullest, i have to go to work. i can smell the christmas air. i received my cute christmas presents today, one cute mug from my boss, and another cute stuffed toy from a friend. i really won't mind if i will receive any christmas presents because for me, my idea of the yuletide season is not really about gifts but togetherness with the family, to bury all the hatchet for those people who had them this year. time to forgive and forget perhaps as another year is about to bid adieu. 

off to the north.

i arrived in baguio one hour ahead of schedule. the bus  i was on almost missed our house. i arrived around 4am and yeah it was still very dark. scary. i missed noche buena but i'm glad to arrive home safe and sound.

xmas rants...

this past week wasn't good to me. i was so stumped at work and even during break time i'm still doing admin stuff and i hated that. i really need balance in my life right now. i'm a bit worried lately, my hair breaks pretty easily i guess due to stress and chemicals.  i also thought, maybe it's due to hair re-bonding since i had my hair re-bonded three times already and the recent was last month. so, i bought myself this hair treatment pack with keratin and promised to at least take some time caring for my hair /go for hot oil treatment whenever possible. maybe i just relied to much in salons to take care of my hair and i failed to do my fair share in caring for it as well.

i'm a bit feeling bad because i won't be able to go up north this christmas. as much as i would love to since i don't have work from christmas day up until the 28th of december because i just can't leave my sister behind since she has work after christmas. maybe, we'll just figure something better like watch movie or cook some pasta for noche buena. sob. i feel so sad about it. why does it have to be that way? my elder sister told me she loved my gift for her, this m&s' hand lotion since it's really cold where she's based and the weather makes her hand so dry. our niece baby gab also loved the clothes i bought for her and that the little fella screams every time she would take those clothes away from her! t'was funny, i really don't know if she already knows how to appreciate it or she thought it's a toy lol. it's hard to be home alone this christmas.
