singles for christmas

as i mentioned previously, almost all of my friends stayed for christmas here in SG. i prepared noche buena and invited them all. friends from work, from previous work, friends of friend. we we're stucked with each other from dinner of 24th to xmas lunch.

me and my housemate prepared caldereta, kare-kare, pansit and macaroons. friends brought palitaw, cake and shepherd's pie. it was a festive moment with lots of food. and a time to reflect with the birth of our Lord, the true essence of the day. coincidentally, we also reflected on our singleness status. all of us except one are single, and i thought, wala ba kong friend na guy? waah!

someone said, even if we have a guy visitor sa dami naming girls baka tumakbo palayo ang guy hehe actually, i did invite a few pero nakatunog ata kaya ndi na dumating hehe

what happened between now and then?

after i got back from krabi, life has been quite busy here. i never even had a chance to admire the sunshine and smell the flowers, figuratively speaking. i was working 14/7 didnt have much time to do my christmas shopping but i got by. well, if it's shopping i will find the time hehe

so, what happened in those days that i was in hiatus. i burned my eyebrows working until the wee hours. never mind if it was weekends. we were on call during weekends so i had no choice. either i work or work double time during the weekdays. despite the seemingly complicated work schedule, i tried to squeeze in some time for socializing of course! but the least i could do was have a late night supper or watched a late night movie *sigh *sigh

not to forget my left eye which seems to have a heart beat of its own. im serious! really! for a wk, i was worried that my left eye was getting blind. i guessed it was just too much stress and lack of sleep.

the christmas shopping i used to do few weeks before christmas, i did one wkend before christmas. all in one go or i'll miss the opportunity to shop. i sent out my christmas cards, a few days before christmas.

i also have a lot of backlogs: movies unwatched, books unread, stuffs to write and catch up on my sleep. btw, im writing this in the office when supposed to be im on leave. pathetic noh? :(
