As I mentioned in one of my previous entires, it is nearing Christmas… In our tradition, it’s the start of what we call the Simbang Gabi meaning those who would like to go to mass everyday, 9 days before Christmas, at early in the morning, they can. By the time this ends, what they say, the person who completed all 9 days can grant a wish. I don’t know if it is just a tradition of the Filipinos or maybe we adopted them from other cultures or something… I’m not quite sure…

But anyway…  It’s nearing Christmas and most of us still don’t have the spirit of Christmas… I know I do… It’s 5:15 in the morning and I’m not thinking of anything except of what I will do this break… Well, I am a bit determined to fix myself up this Christmas, a bit more than the ordinary me… Ordinary me meaning wearing a pair of pants, a blouse, my flipflops, my eyeglasses, hair flowing.. What I wanted this Christmas was that I would look far more that I usually do… I just don’t know what to do yet… But I am going to wear a skirt…

My mom said she doesn’t have the Christmas spirit in her as well… Even though the house is already decorated with all her Christmas decors (yeah, finally I was able to go home after a VERY long time), I don’t know why she still doesn’t have the spirit in her… My niece is already way too excited to open her gift even though she doesn’t know how cause she’s just 1 year old… But they do say that she’s already trying to remove the Christmas card that was in her gift… :sweatdrop: But anyway… I don’t feel Christmas but somehow I have the Christmas spirit… A bit… Cause my wallet feels it… -.-;

Anyway, I think I have to try to go to sleep now… I still have a long day ahead of me…
