Crisismas

Time to make a Christmas list! May pang Christmas shopping ba ako?

Ever since I was a kid, I always saved up for Christmas. My sisters and I even had the "Frixie Fox Club" -- something that my Ate Lora came up with. We saved the barya from our allowances so we can buy Christmas gifts for Mommy, Daddy, our cousins, and other family members. I remember going to Alemars (the one near Rizal Theater) and having lot of coins to use for our Christmas shopping. Cute 'no? Little kid with jar of coins doing her Christmas shopping.

Ngayon, wala ng jar of coins. Wala ring wads of bills. Ngak!

So guys - stop complaining if you don't have a Christmas bonus. Ako nga walang 13th month pay. Worse, wala nga akong sweldo!

What about the parlor? Well it's barely surviving. What it earns go back to the employees.

Any ideas for Christmas gifts na really cheap (but nice). I'm thinking of plants. Do you know that our wedding souvenir were seedlings that we got from DENR for free? Hmmm... Pwede... What if GCs na lang sa salon? Hmmm... Print out lang yun.

Oh well. Bahala na.

Oh I was thinking of applying for a job today pero tinamad ako. Bed weather eh. So I guess I'll just have to embrace the fact na wala akong pera ngayong Pasko. Ngak!

So, do I make a Christmas list? Next year na lang.

Ayan! I'm happy you FINALLY did a blog!

Okay, next step... ADSENSE!

(Don't knock Adsense ha, I made USD 200 na din from that! 'Di napupulot sa kalye yun )

Anyway, let's all treat this Xmas as a real Xmas -- it's not about the money or the parties, anyway.

And I'm someone who still hasn't felt the Xmas spirit and has bought no presents yet. You are not alone!

Thanks for the encouragement, Rey! Wow -- you're the very first to post a comment. I'd give you a prize sana pero walang dats. : )
