GIVE LOVE ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Merry Christmas everyone, eat well and celebrate
What is the meaning of Christmas to you?
We spend the whole year out there with friends and other company. Christmas, to me, is a retreat. A return to spending time with family. In recent years, it isn't about gift-giving (there are only two or three Christmas presents under the tree)... but rather about feeding those who are less fortunate.
What is your ideal Christmas?
Being with loved ones. Enjoying good food and giving thanks for a year of challenge and success.

My dad, mom, and brother in front of Gerry's Grill.

My parents enjoying their dishes.
Went to mass at SM Megamall. It's aired on television. (Strange, even during the weekends I can't seem to find time AWAY from production cables and wires)
Went to Greenhills. Wanted to buy shoes and loads of other stuff (taking advantage that I was being in the comfort and security of my family). The place was closed. Darn. Ate at Gerry's Grill.
Went to Festival Supermall. Place was crowded and somewhat gloomy despite the Christmas hype. Had Peppermint Mocha frap to keep me awake. Nine stickers away from the limited edition Starbucks planner for 2006.
Dropped by the supermarket. Before going home, accompanied family in buying Sbarro pizza. Paul ordered the whole thing for take out (woah). Eventually ate only one slice at home. Was still full from Gerry's to enjoy my favorite baked ziti.
Showed dad the various shortcuts and routes I knew. He appreciated it.
Arrived home.
Avoiding the relatives? No.
Avoiding the barangay that accompanies the relatives? Sort of.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
