I have the worst luck during Christmas season that sometimes I am led to believe that I may actually be the spawn of the devil and therefore, I am cursed with bad luck holiday after holiday.
Exhibit # 1:
When I was around 5 or 6, I spent Christmas Eve at home because I was stuck with a 38 degree whatever fever. Believing in the power of cheap ceramic imitations of heavenly figures, I placed an angel figurine pin on my shirt to "take care" of me.
My fever went up to around 39-40 degrees. I think I was also sick the year after that.
I have then forever been traumatized by those angel figurines. Not to mention, I will forever associate Johnny Litton with dreadful Christmases. I was stuck at home watching an "Oh No It's Johnny" Christmas special that time (that's him right?). Ironically, I would meet him 17 years or so later at a party and we even have a picture together on Inquirer. Yes naman!
Exhibit # 2:
I spent my 2006 Christmas break doing thesis WHILE having PNEUMONIA WITHOUT REALIZING IT WAS PNEUMONIA. I seriously felt I was going to die. It was that bad that my parents had to drag my ass to the pediatrician. And hey look, I even
wrote all about it.
Exhibit # 3:
My stupid sick brother had to cough at my face as a joke (he claims), and now, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially sick, too. :(
NOT that I'm complaining about the year that has been. It's been terrific, actually hehe. ♥ I'm just hoping next year is better. :)
Merry Christmas everybody! And if I didn't greet you by texting this year, it's because my phone doesn't support multiple recipient texting and well... tamad ako magtext ng merry christmas paulit ulit ng isa't isa sa inyo. So if I did text or reply to your greeting, meaning nun, special kayo sa buhay ko. YEHESSS naman! :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :D
P.S. It's that time of the year na pala. MAGPAPAKULOT NA BA AKO ULIT? I watched all 11 episodes of Gossip Girl in 2 days and OMFG I WANT BLAIR'S HAIR. And wardrobe. Sa mga wala pang gift saakin...
