Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat! The clock just struck twelve and everyone of us greeted each other and exchanged gifts. I personally got a new coffee mug and some saches of 2-in-one instant coffee and honestly, I couldn't be any more grateful. Especially for the fact that the eight of us are together, actually enjoying each other's presence for once.

I swear if any of you seven are reading this--

As the other men of us eight are drinking away in celebration, I'm just sitting here sipping some of my instant coffee with my new mug. I actually want to stay completely sober this Christmas for the simbang gabi later in the morning.

I have to go now and help the 2 ladies keep order in this crazy household. Until then, paalam!

Merry Christmas!

This may or may not be late, but im here in another coumtry celebrating the holidays with my family myself. And getting good wifi here is like looking for diamonds in a coal mine. :/

Also, I know not everyone speaks or understands Tagalog, so if you have want a translation to any Tagalog words in the diary, all you have to do is ask nicely in the comments :) I promise I won't bite.

Anyway, as always,

Ayye, thank 'chu and Merry Christmas! And if you don't celebrate the holidays for whatever reason, well, I just hope you find the quality time to spend with your loved ones. :)
