My Special December!

Hello friends!

What a beautiful time to share thoughts of life, relationship and love. It is now a brand new year for us. It's the year of the Dragon 2012 and I am welcoming it with joy and thanks in my heart. 

Last time I was a bit overjoyed with the scenarios which happened in the month of December. I have been into a mood of enjoyment. Really, at this moment I don't know how to start writing or express my thoughts out. When we talk about December there is only one thing we can never forget, that is greeting everyone with "Merry Christmas"... Merry Christmas! This beloved and familiar greeting received more than its fair share of press this year as we found ourselves embroiled in a debate over whether to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays." Yet no matter which expression you choose, both promote certain hopes and expectations for the season. It's to be a time of merriment, of happiness. And for many this is true. Lights, decorations, parties, carols, gifts, feasts, special worship services . . . all of this and more adds up to joyful celebration. Yet for others Christmas isn't only a time to be merry. It's also a time of mixed feelings, a season of sadness as well as joy. If, for example, you've recently lost a loved one, you know how the holidays accentuate your longing, not to mention my boyfriend's Grandma who just died 10 days before Christmas due to some serious condition. I know it is a very painful season for him and his family and I sympathized them, I also understand the feeling of loosing a grandmother and I barely want to comfort him. Sad things like that! Or even, how much you'd love to share Christmas with one who won't be there this year, or any year! That would be a semi-lonely Christmas. Christmas, with all of its happiness, might also leave a deep, unfilled pit in your stomach.

With Christmas right around the corner, now’s as good a time as any to take a moment to step back (from that Christmas fire – hot!) and smell the Christmas roses, which some people call “Christmas Trees”.... My family and I just spent our twentieth Christmas. It was very true that every year I am hoping that I and my family will celebrate the season together as complete. It almost satisfy me, I know I can see through it. We had our simple Noche Buena, we rocked the house with Karaoke, we went to church then, and we painted a smile on our face as we walk home. The celebration continues after and I am so enlightened because I felt very blessed having my family though we are not that ideal, I still value being with them. Done with the surprises... presents... foods... etceteras. After the Christmas break here goes my brother's birthday, another big celebration. It was a bit busy and overcrowded in our house, my brother's High schoolmates and friends went here and they had bonded with the celebrant himself, doing movie marathon and chitchats. By the way it is his 20th Birthday Blast :) Belated Happy Birthday to my one and only big brother. I so love him much! I am so thankful for having him as my "Kuya" because he is the most protective and loving bestfriend I ever had. I'm wishing him total happiness and success in life. I hope he is happy with his birthday! 

Weeeeeeiiii.... Another day came and I never knew that this day will complete my entire December. It did, really!!! Second to the last day of December, I went to a place where I hid my heart. I came back and visited my boyfriend in the same place where we usually meet up. We embraced each other for a while and whisper our "I MISS YOU's" and "I LOVE YOU's" :) We spent the whole day together in the park, mall. We also went to a studio photography, down town. We visited Krystian Jade's late grandma and grandpa in the Glorious Memorial Park the first time. And we lighted pink candles in the church. And all the sweet things were also a part of the day! It was a very refreshing for us to end our year. Hopefully, 2012 will bring us more reasons to hold on to each other and fulfill our vow. Now that New Year is here, I am praying for my love ones in life, specially to my family that somehow they will have a great and blessed year. All of my wishes are casted in the stars, happy peaceful living with glory to God.


I am so overwhelmed with my year end, What would I ask for more? My Special December will be engraved here in my heart and mind forever! ♥
