before we return to normal mode

here's one last post about Christmas/birthday before i set my mode to regular programming (heehee - and that includes laundry, housecleaning, cooking, scrapping, and a lot more).

during the holidays (even when i was still a student), it is my self-imposed obligation to try and get everyone a present. be it a serving bowl for mom, a shirt for dad, stationeries for sissy and caps for bros and {being the crafty little me} i usually embellish my gifts to seem like they are worth more {whispering: 'but not really'}. this year, was not an exemption. i still tried to get everyone something and (still did that crafty thing to make them seem worth more that how much i got them). heehee.

well. i really don't always mind not getting that {double} number of presents (for Christmas and for my birthday of course), but this year, i was overwhelmed with my Christmas/birthday presents. because each has something that i love in it from the people whom i love. {doesn't that just sound mushy? heehee} . wanted to share a piece of my happiness last {Birthday}Christmas.


and it was this holidays that i was able to take a very wonderful shot of the 3 of us. {it is a first time - to have a decent Christmas picture that is}. TFL! and one last time, A Wonderful New Year to everyone.

super loaded tree

got to finish {almost} all gift-shopping yesterday. just need to buy one more. sometimes it's just so difficult to think of what to give someone who almost always get what that person wants. hmmm.

anyway, am so excited for jp. have his gift still kept in a cabinet. will wrap it on the 24th {just to be sure he wont peek}. he's been conning us to tell him what it is. he just have to learn the virtue patience. :-) hihihi.

hope you all have a happy holidays {merry christmas to all}
