In about, hmm, an hour and a half Christmas is about to end. I think I gained 5lbs with all the food I ate today, that was aplenty. Gifts? I didn't get anything in my wish list! You fools, I posted a wish list for a reason! Loljk. I hope everyone had a wonderful time because I did, even if I had to work prior to Noche Buena. Good thing I was back right on time to attend the mass with my family.

I'd like to take this time to thank all of the people who made this awful year bearable for me. I love you all so dearly. Also, the universe, for making a stronger person.

Sparkly Tree from here.

I'm not an expert when it comes to the art of cooking but I quite know my way around the kitchen because our Mom raised us well, made sure that we knew how to cook if in any case we happen to suffer a Zombie Apocalypse or be alive to witness the "end of the world". Some weeks ago when the lover was sick, I cooked Shrimp for his brother and sister-in-law for they were coming over to pick him up. I can't say this dish is my specialty but I can say that I've mastered the art of cooking it thus I never go wrong with it. It's quite simple and I'll be giving you instructions on how to cook it, again, no measurements because I don't measure ingredients when I cook.

I know I've posted my initial wish list some weeks ago, and as fickle as my mind can get on the last minute, I had to add more feasible things to my wish list! Why? I know I'm oblivious but I can sense if people are trying to fish for information on things they can get me for Christmas! Lol. You asked for it, you'll definitely get it! This change may not be in time for your Christmas Shopping but isn't January also a nice month for giving gifts? *wink*

This year hasn't really been good to me. If not for occasional hugs from friends and lovely kisses from the lover, I wouldn't have made it through the year. Work was okay bordering on bad, my family has encountered a lot of changes this year--we're about to face the biggest one yet. We're moving out of our house. It's sad because I have separation anxiety, I cry over the slightest things. Now, imagine this house has been my home for the past 23 yrs and we're moving out. Sigh, I really have to learn the art of moving on. 

On to greater things, this year I have to thank for the friends I've gained. Friends who stayed through the worst and of course, the lover who was there throughout everything.
