I AM SAD.
I have to say goodbye to the pollution and hello to green all around; the noise in the house onward to the quiet of the dorm; the convenient bum life to the stressful, yet rewarding work life.
Okay, maybe I shouldn't be that sad. I go back here on Friday anyway.
Goodbye Manila, for now. Laguna, here we go again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!
We've got titos, titas and a cousin downstairs eating. They've been shown pictures of our outtakes in Tagaytay and our Christmas videos, among others.
Speaking of pictures, total pictures taken over the course of the Christmas vacation was 897, of which 525 were uploaded. That's 59% pictures up in cyberspace ... wow, I'm more diligent than usual. XD
I'm sort of relieved that the vacation is over and done with. It's the rhythm of getting back to work that's making me a bit nervous. Last time I felt this way was when I had the first job and I had to come back to it come 2007. Hay.
Ajja.

Here's what I've done with reading and watching, thus far:
Reading:
The Constant Princess
The Other Boleyn Girl
Watching:
Naruto Shippuden, up until Madara Uchiha explains to Sasuke the truth about Itachi ... and my evil mind was swapping Itachi for Seiran and you know the rest. XD
Inuyasha Kanketsuhen; the latest episode was quite delectable. Seeing Sesshoumaru in a raging fit and nearly throwing a tantrum over getting the Tenseiga was awesome fanservice
Meitantei Conan, really old episodes dating back to 1999, with the OP of Conan dancing. Oh gosh that cracked me up. We were actually imitating the dance already, and it was just, gadawful.
Avatar
Law-Abiding Citizen
District 9 (oh gosh, I really don't know if I liked it or what)
I seemed to have accomplished more with the visual. LOLZ.

My biggest frustration this vacation was this:
THE DRESS. IT'S NOT MINE. I WANT IT.
I didn't have a dress for the Candlelight service, so I borrowed one from the others who brought extra dresses. The one I wore belonged to one of their daughters who was like stick thin, that it was a miracle that it fit me just fine. Anyway, I WANT it. There were others who loved it and wanted it as well, but it was apparently a new dress, so, le sigh.

Oh, I have decided to name the S10 Olivia, after yes, you've guessed it, Olivier Mira Armstrong! I would have wanted Olivier but it's a guy-ish name, and I wanted a kikay name. So, Olivia it is! Huzzah!
