i always get excited when christmas is around the corner. i love the lights, the decorations, the christmas shopping (especially christmas shopping!), the cold wind, and hot coffee (with a splash of peppermint please). i love santa claus! i love christmas songs! i love the christmas spirit!
however, there's one thing i don't look forward to during christmas -- getting interviewed by relatives. by aunties and lolas, specifically. for the past christmases, there have always been questions about my "status".
"o ano, wala ka pa bang ipapakilala?", they ask.
why can't they ask "o, kumusta na ka na ba? kumusta ang trabaho? ok ka ba dun sa condo?" instead?
at one point, i told them that i'm ok with not being married ever. and i think that made them go to panic mode. hahaha!
"nako hija, wag mong sasabihin yan!!"
"don't nip it in the bud! malay mo baka may cute friend, diba?"
sigh.
don't get me wrong. i didn't say i don't want to get married. of course i do, someday. maybe. i'm just saying that i'm ok not being married either. hay naku. the pressure. mygaaahd. if they want cute little kids, i have other cousins who would do that hahaha! i don't get it why most people see not being married as something bad. even scary.
but anyway, that's about it. everything else about christmas, i absolutely LOVE!
eto na, i can feel the Christmas spirit already!

hay naku, yes tito. hahahah! patay nanaman ako nito sa pasko :)
hahaha.. :) i almost have the same sentiment, only yung sakin: "kelan ang baby?", dapat next year meron na!", "bakit wala parin? dapat meron agad" stress! :D
i also wish na sana iba nalang itanong sakin. yun laging unang sinasabi pag nakikita ako eh. haha. :)
@maan - kainis diba? tanggapin na natin, hindi mauubos ang mga tanong na ganyan haha! pag naman nagka baby, ang tanong naman "o, kelan ang kasunod nyan?" hay..
