My feet are sore, my back is aching, my nose is freezing and my whole body's cold. I just got home after 5 hours of non-stop Christmas shopping and it felt so good. :) I know I've been bitchy about the upcoming Holiday lately but I dont know, I felt the presence just today. Maybe because I was able to buy all my friends some good stuff and maybe because I set aside the fact that though we won't be in the Philippines for this year's Christmas we know that we will always be in their hearts no matter what. ♥

Anyways, I get to wrap all the things we bought today and I am so happy because I could actually wrap a gift now without any help from my mom. Isn't that so cool? LMAO. Yes you read that right, this was my first time wrapping gifts for Christmas. I used to help my mom though but it really doesnt last because I'm busy doing my own work and I'm usually out. So this time, I made up to my mom and instead of her wrapping all the gifts I volunteered to do it. She was all "NO THANK YOU PAO you'll just kill it like you always do". hahaha. I can't blame her though, my role before was just to cut the scotch tape and that was it. But she was really amazed when she saw me doing all the work and I was enjoying doing it.

Tomorrow is techinacally the first day of Simbang Gabi and for the first time is several years, we won't be able to go. First, there's no mass in our Church and we have to go all the way to Stockton if we really wished to but it's a 45 minute ride. Second, my mom has to work the following day so it would be hard for her because she's a heavy sleeper. And lastly, we're doing our laundry today, I mean we're actually doing it right now, 12:16 am. Yeessss. We really doing it because we're leaving the week after and we still lack clothes to bring, so there. :) It's kinda sad though because we used to really go to church throughout that nine days but now, we couldn't just some lame old reasons. Hay hay hay. :[[ This makes me depress again.
