Oh Dad...
*Parents talking about this one gift we received was random*
Mom: I feel bad. She gave us something and we don't have anything for her. So random.
Dad: Don't worry about it I gave her a "thank you."
Me: OMG Dad.
Dad: What? It's a "thank you."
Day 24: How excited are you right now? Christmas...
Super sexcited :) Haha
Day 23: Are presents under your Christmas tree...
Sadly, I don’t have a Christmas tree this year. My dad recently had a cyst removed from his left hand, so he couldn’t bring down the fake Christmas tree in the garage. The presents are all under the fire place where we place all the Christmas cards.
Sometimes...
I just need to breathe. As much as I’m suppose to be enjoying break, I’ve been working non-stop: a lot of PDT stuff, then reading if I ever have free time. I’ve been working myself so I don’t stress out when we get back to school and back to my double-major curriculum. Even so, I end up stressing at the end of the day getting this shit done. I know I over-work myself, but...
Day 21: Have you been drinking a lof of hot...
I don’t know what this question has to do with Christmas. I drink coffee everyday how I always like it: any type of dark roast & black. Though throughout winter break, whether working on stuff or reading, I occasionally enjoy the peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks :)
Day 20: Christmas is right around the corner. Did...
Pretty much. I’m always broke around this season. So many people to buy gifts for and I always donate money to the Salvation Army, gift wrapping tables, and church. I always spend/give more than I have. It’s a nice feeling until I receive my monthly statement -_-
We're at that age aren't we?
You know what I’m talking about. The age where the real world is finally hitting us at the brink of our college career. The age where you finally see people older than you making their real-life choices such as “where does my life take me now?” The age where we even think about college choices or SAT’s was so long ago that we don’t even need to worry about making...
Day 19: 3 things you hope you get this Christmas.
My mom to finish up her projects at work. It sucks that she has to work on Christmas, so I’m hoping there could be some time allotted for her to spend time with the family.
Another successful family party on my dad’s side.
Enough gift cards for post-Christmas shopping.
Day 18: One person you wish you could see this...
My grandma. For the past few years, she’s been sick and been taken to the ICU a couple of times in LA. She’s a trooper, but I can’t bear to watch what she’s been going through. If there’s one reason to go to LA (although I HATE going to LA - I promise it’s not the area, just the fact that I’m always imprisoned in my auntie’s house for a week)...
Day 16: What's your favorite Christmas tradition?
I love it when my relatives bring pasalubong (Tagalog for “keepsake” or “presents”) from the Philippines. Every year when my family goes to a relative’s house for Christmas, someone always ends up going to the Philippines before Christmas and bring pasalubong to our family parties. This year my mom went to the Philippines and plans to bring some to the Christmas...
Day 14: Did you enjoy last Christmas?
For the most part, yes. I always enjoy being with the family, especially when the family makes bomb food! I have already crossed the phase where I don’t really expect anything extraordinary from my relatives when it comes to gifts because for the most part, I either receive money or random crap that’s been in their house waiting to be recycled presents. Each year, I just hate getting...
1 tag
Day 13: Who do you plan on buying gifts for and...
Mom: a cardigan sweater
Dad: a blazer
Sister: a thermal
I’m just going to say a few friends because I know some of you follow me on tumblr and I’m definitely not revealing what I got you guys.
Day 12: What gift do you reallyyy want this...
Any Hayao Miyazaki film besides the ones I have: Kiki’s Delivery Service & My Neighbor Totoro
Gift cards from the following stores: Forever 21, Victoria’s Secret, Urban Outfitters, Macy’s, Nordstrom
I don’t know if it’s cheating because I put two things, but really that’s all I want & what I mentioned on my Christmas list on Day 2.
Day 11
5 things you hate about Christmas.
Christmas rush - those last few days before Christmas when the malls are super packed. That’s why I most likely get it done during Black Friday - I might as well add it all up to get my free tote bag with goodies inside.
Receiving the recycled present you gave last Christmas - it’s like I’m pretty sure I got this for you last year and...
Day 10
5 things you love about Christmas
The feeling: I tend to be more generous in charity
The food
Peppermint hot chocolates
Seeing my family during this time being happy
Of course… the presents!
Day 9
What’s your favorite Christmas treat?
Gingerbread cookies & steamed vanilla milk… MMMMMM
Day 7
What does your Christmas tree look like?
Well I don’t have one here in Santa Cruz, but I do have Christmas lights around my room and in my living room. I don’t know if my family put up the decorations yet, but I’m assuming it’d be the same fake Christmas tree we’ve been using for years. The tree would be covered with the many ornaments we’ve kept since the...
Almost There
Tumblr hiatus was probably the best thing that happened to me. I at least finished two-thirds of my finals without spending time looking through tumblr. Besides the point, tell me why I kind of got sad it got to the point where I started talking to @krysteeezay about tumblr before our ochem lab final. Hahaha Facebook isn’t cutting it nowadays. I NEED tumblr too!
Anyways, I’m...
Good Morning
It’s 8AM and I’m NOT ready to start my day…
O chem review session at 10AM. I haven’t even started studying for it! I’ve been too busy with bio and I’m sick of bio!
I think it’s ridiculous that I have a final for o chem lab. Why does it have to be hard? It’s only two units! It’s the two units that keep me being a full-time student.
I’m...
Day 4
4. Which reindeer is your favorite & why?
Rudolph! Just because his nose lights up brightly and I don’t really know too much of the other reindeer except their names.
Day 3
I find myself being distracted from studying. Oh well, I know what the consequences are.
3. Do you still believe in Santa Clause? Personally, stupid question to ask. Not to ruin anyone’s hopes, but I don’t believe in Santa Clause. I pretty much stopped after I started Kindergarten when this kid spoiled it for us telling everyone that Santa isn’t real…way to ruin hopes of...
Day 1 & Day 2
Since I KTFO and probably won’t have time later today, I’ll do both days now.
1. Is Christmas your favorite holiday? Yes! It’s that one time of the year where I’m ridiculously happy regardless of whatever is going on. Just the thought of Christmas could make me smile for days.
2. What’s on you Christmas List? - Any Hayao Miyazaki film besides the ones I have (My...
