I don't know what to do!" cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; and making a perfect Laocoön of himself with his stockings. "I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to every-body! A happy New Year to all the world!
His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.

on the 24th, i told mark that he was the grinch who stole Christmas and was the bad guy in my story. in all my 26 years this was the first time that i cried my heart out and hyperventilated til i ended up sleeping.
i told him am not speaking to him again if i did hyperventilate. i did but, i still spoke to him. it was the first time that somebody boldly told me i cared & that he cared. i was blank for a moment. and then threw fits again.
i threw temper fits at him maybe twice this week.
i did care enuf that i showed up to the ball game sunday. and we had mcdo pre dinner and had another timothy-paul thingy thereafter.. it's fun when you learn things from someone lalo na if it's about faith. little did i know that i never "pugos" myself to change just so he'd see me like an angel. i did tell him i try to paint wings and halo so i'd be his angel, kaso i still have my pet sins. like swearing.
i'd never had an influence that is THIS POSITIVE. i told him that i write about him always cuz if one day memory fails me, i might know how i felt at that time..
i have the sweetest guy. haha. assumptionista.
can't help it. i'll post..
"sorry..
i like you just fine..
with the alien green eyes..
and the poopsie..
mid month PMS..
or the pimple IN your nose..
and i love your teeth.."
have a lovely new years everyone! tara na 2009 kaayo!

quite enuf.
zooey. day 12
3 installations.. maka sleep man gyd ko after reading mark's gunyt stories.. hehe..
davey and zooey returned to the village..
benaiah was waiting for her..
today is the start of the nuevo luna.. or new moon.. a one week celebration to celebrate the coming of the new year.
The festivities will be held at the village town square..
there were singing and dancing.. all kinds of food and beverages for everyone to enjoy..
music was playing.. a big band will all sorts of instruments..
wind instruments resonated the night sky.. toot.. tooorotooot.. acoustics..
percussion instruments reverberated from the trees to the ground..
dum da dum dum..
sequoia forest resounded with music from the sequoias' crest.. the music echoed thru valleys and mountains.. (12/26)
♥
dooong!
dooong!
booong!
a gong sounded amidst the festivities.. to gather the crowd's attention.. as the town watchman announced the end of today's celebration..
zooey danced and danced all night..
and she sang along with the band..
and tis the only week once a year that benaiah allowed her to drink under davey's watchful eye..
but, twas not the drunken revelry that zooey enjoyed the most but the sound of the gong..
(12/27)
♥
twas not the drinking, dancing and singing that zoeey longed for every night.. but, twas the sound of the gong..
time to rest after the festivities.. davey would lead her to benaiah.. and benaiah would carry her like a child cradled in his huge arms..
she felt secure.. peaceful.. loved.. it felt like home..
then benaiah would tuck her in..
rub her forehead..
he would gently whisper.. gud nyt macushla..
and would kiss her gud nyt..
this is wut she cherished the most..
(12/28)
tis the season

the holidays
A Christmas Blessing
During this Christmas season,
May you be blessed
With the spirit of the season,
which is peace,
The gladness of the season,
which is hope,
And the heart of the season,
which is love
Somehow, not only for Christmas
But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart’s possessing
Returns to you glad.
John Greenleaf Whittier
December 25's dinner with the sibs and in laws at the old pala pala. we had shrimps, squid, and tuna. :) then they had this all bacolod experience of the lagoon. which is chaka, but, for posterity's sake we took pictures.
then off to sorento for lychee margarita and people watching. then we took some more photos in front of smore landmarks in the city.
