A whole year had gone by and before I knew it, this year's Christmas had already slipped off. Food were everywhere. Streets were busy and shopping malls were jam-packed with people who had jiggled their way for a last minute shopping. Everyone was filled with Christmas spirit. Even strangers I had met along the way had looked up and smiled at me with a hint of Christmas greetings in their eyes.
We feel so blessed, happy, forgiving and kind. We forgot misdoings of people who had hurt us. And personally, I want this special feeling to last all year long not just on Christmas season. I want it to last 365 days and repeat the joy of giving, sharing and loving year after year after year. Imagine a place where everyone is kind and living harmoniously with each other, what a perfect place to live!
I hope everyone had a happy Christmas.

Chasing Holidays
For anyone wondering about my new job, well it's no longer a new job :) Been with the same company for 10 months now. Adjustment period was over but the busy days are not, projects keeps on coming so my hands are all tied.
As of now, I'm aligning myself tight with the project schedule. Today, just got a few minutes to hover online hoping to find a pleasant destruction from all of the stress I'm keeping inside. Received a comment from ricademus. The line 'new job' just beat some writing words off my head.
Oh, new job. Not that I'm not happy about it but when you're draining all you could say is 'ugh'!
Anyway, I should be happy and refreshed today because I just got from a two-day vacation. But remembering those two days, those weren't actually relaxing. I'm looking forward to another holiday but the next holidays are still more than a month from now.

My 2009 Sign Off Post
I know, this is an early bid for the year 2009 but since I will be going off to province to spend the holiday and will have a limited access to internet, I would like to sign off my blog with my 2009's last post.
This will just be a short one as I have lots of urgent matters to attend to. 2009 has has been a year of personal struggles and financial difficulties and I am so thankful that I've been through all that. I just realized that really at the end of the day, it's not your losses or troubles that you are going to count but the blessings that you'd received. And the best things that happened in your life are the ones that you will truly remember. I thank God for this perception for I will continue facing another year of yet another plight but now I know that the past one year of struggles had made me stronger to face the challenges ahead.
I hope that this coming new year brings renewed hope to everyone.
Happy holidays!
Now, what is your 2009 Sign Off Post? I am tagging RicAdeMus, jacky, yolanda, jenie, manju, romes and ems and every readers and followers of this blog to also blog and share their thoughts.
Come on, let us all end 2009 with a thankful heart.
Holiday Rush Gift Guides
With the holidays fast approaching, most of us surely are again into our own moment of listing down gifts and must-buy things we want to give away as christmas presents to our friends and loved ones.
Of course, with the holiday rush comes the difficulties of selecting what could be the best present. Here I listed some gift-buying-ideas you could follow to lessen out your anxiety.
If you're dying to give someone something they would not just stash in their closet, get or know their wish list. Scope some information from his/her friends or colleagues. Or you could get what he/she wanted straight from him/her. You don't have to ask directly. A little instinct and thoughtfulness will help you achieve that surprise look on his/her face when you finally handed out the gift.
If still you don't have no idea on what to give, follow these simple guides:
1. For that very special someone, be alert when you both go shopping. Your companion might have spotted thing he/she is dying to have but could not afford to buy it for a reason. Take that us a hint. Next time you go shopping (of course make sure you're alone so as not to spoil the surprise), you can just drop by the same store and get the thing. Your special someone will be surprised and will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness and effort.
2. For the always stressed out office mate, you can get a mini-massager that he/she can store in his/her office drawer.
3. For a workmate who always bring baon, get a hip lunch kit.
4. For the kikay friend make up fan, get her a vanity mirror, perfect for her dolling up.
5. For the shopaholic babe, a cute shopping bag will help her lug all her great fab finds during her shopping spree.
6. For a friend who collects bags, totes and purses, get her the ultimate organizer that will keep her precious position in prime conditions. I know there is one kikay bag organizer available in Avon and it only costs PHP299.00. Sometimes it is offered on a discounted price. Friends you can drop me a message if you are interested of buying this must-have :)
7. For the out-going-never-to-carry-big-wallet-type, give her a magic wallet that he/she could stash his/her cards and bills. I bought one last year that only costs PHP100.00. It's very hip.
8. For the beach bum, a catch-all-you-can-carry beach bag is perfect. Or you could for a kikay flip-flops. No need to be so extravagant but if you have money, you could opt to buy Havs or Ipanema.
9. For a fashionista friend, a practical holder for her baubles will be greatly appreciated. Get her an accessory organizer to make it easy for her to store and locate her precious trinkets. Again, this is also available in Avon. You can send me message if you like to own one.
I hope you find these simple guides helpful. So what are you waiting for, avoid the holiday rush, start your list and go for a shop. Remember to be practical when buying things. Make sure to buy something useful. After all, it is always the thoughts that count (not the price).
Happy holiday shopping!!!
