Christmas is almost over from my side of the pond. I think this is one of my best ones yet. I did not sleep through it like I did last year and I got to celebrate it with almost everyone who is dear to me. I found time to party with my friends in Highschool, made it to my mom's birthday on the 24th and got to spend the remaining hours of christmas day with my work pals. I did not get any rubbish presents this year and I was able to give out as much presents as I can. I also received one from the dude and I have to say, it was well thought of, as far as his emotional range is concerned.

He got me a shirt that represents a piece of me. Its either I was totally transparent or he really put in a lot of thought on that present. I would like to believe the latter. Although, I was rather disappointed with the card that the present came with. It was just one of those very common christmas gift tags with my name right beside the word TO:... and that was it. He did not even bother signing it with his name. I know that this should not come as a surprise since I know that he's got an emothional range of a teaspoon but HOW CAN HE BE SO COLD??!!! Its christmas for crying out loud! Can't he at least pretend to have feelings even in writing??!! I'm not asking for a letter or even a poetic phrase; the card pretty much provided it for him, it being printed with MERRY CHRISTMAS and all. All I'm asking for is his name right beside the word FROM: just so I can prove that he wanted to give me the present and not because he just felt obligated to do so. Its times like this that I ask myself why I keep hoping that he would at least show platonic thoughtfulness towards me when I know that his heart is hard and cold as ice.

Nevertheless, I kept the card. I guess that's the most that I can get from him.

ok, I may be a little late in posting this but the biggest news is still about Ms. Jo's revelation that the headmaster is gay.

Its funny how a lot of people would say "I knew it" whenever someone comes out of the closet as if it really crossed their minds even before the big revelation. It happens all the time. When Stephen Gately (Boyzone), Lance Bass (Nsync) and Mark Feehily (Westlife) all came out everyone was like "duh?!" as if it was fairly predictable. Ok so maybe it was kinda easy to tell because boyband members have always been thought of as queers but did they really know which one of them had pink blood? I don't think so.

Then there's Dumbledore, a lot of people are saying that they knew it even before Ms. Jo revealed it but did they really know? How come none of these speculations were brought up on any forums before? Were they just afraid of defaming the headmaster?

The point is, children, one can never tell. Believe me, I have been duped lots of times before but that's another story.

Today father goose left for SG to work. This is the first time that he will leave us for a long time. I went to my folk's place to see him off but I was not really able to do so, see my clock is on EST and I fell asleep hours before he left. He woke me up to say goodbye at around noon and that was it.

I woke up at 12nn EST and watched the DVD's that were stacked on the shelf. I found that my brother pulled a Jack Sparrow at the flee market and got a couple of new titles. Found that we have a copy of Peter Pan and Superman Returns, it was an obvious choice of course! With all these existential crisis that I have been going through, the classic tale of being a kid forever is just what I need. Plus, I really HATE Kate Bosworth.

Popped the Peter Pan DVD and right off the bat I thought that the boy who played Peter was kind of cute. He and Wendy really had chemistry. After watching it, here's what I've learned;

- All boys want girls to be their mother.
- Never is an awfully long time.
- A kiss could save your life.

Today I had to live off of a 100 bucks (that's equivalent to US$2) because pay day won't be until monday afternoon. Twas a dang holiday last friday and the dang bank was closed.

Its times like this that one will realize the value of every cent. One would wish that one did not spend too much on expensive coffee and beauty products immediately after the last pay day. To make ends meet one will have to try to fight the urge of impulse buying. It is because of this deprivation and restraint that one's need for unimportant things becomes heightened. That one is me.

Isn't it strange that when you have just enough dough to make it through the day is also the time when you are in want for so many things that you cannot afford. But then when you get to have extra dough at your disposal you would either forget the things that you sooo wanted to buy or think twice before actually buying it.

Its 1998 all over again. My time machine actually worked!

I spent the whole hour getting ready for work while watching channel V and you will not believe what was on their playlist this evening, the Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys. Now if I could catch Dawson's Creek on monday night, then I'd know that I really went back in time!

I'm gonna go back to High School and pull a Carrie on the night of the Prom..bwahahahaha!

Just added another candle on my cake. Im 20-effing-5. I can't believe that I lived this long. Back in high school my bench marker was 21. I never imagined myself getting passed that age, not that I'm terminally ill or anything, its just that I haven't made plans for when I get passed 21. That's why when I turned 22 I didn't have a clue on what to do with my life. Now on the start of my 25th year I think its about time that I make some changes.

Its time to grow up.

As much as I want to hold on to the things that I have kept since I was a teen, I just can't relate with it anymore. All of a sudden my teenage angst are all gone and it feels like I'm seeing the world and all its possibilities instead of its restrictions. Plus the things that used to be important to me has now become superficial. My taste in music has definitely changed. I used to listen to a lot of angry music but lately I have been listening to a lot of songs outside that genre'. Its like I'm more into good music despite the category. Although -- no offense meant to the fans-- I'm still not inclined to listen to rap/Rn'B music. I just don't get it.

Here's to another year of drama, emo, lushness and sobriety! Here's to actually living life and writing about it! here! here!
