1. CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS!- DON’T GET ME WRONG BUT IT’S NOT WHAT’S IN IT THAT I’M AFTER BUT IT’S MORE WHAT I FEEL BEFORE I STICK MY HAND INSIDE IT THAT JUST MAKES MY KNEES WEAK WITH EXCITEMENT! I TOTALLY LOVE THAT FEELING! PROBLEM IS MY MOM DECIDED WE’RE TOO OLD FOR IT SINCE ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO AND STOPPED THAT CHRISTMAS TRADITION. SOB !! I WANT IT BACK! HEAR THAT SANTA!?
2. PLAZA HOPPING- WE USED TO GO AROUND THE DIFFERENT TOWNS OF ILOILO JUST TO SEE THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN THE PLAZA AT NIGHT. THE BEST PART IS THE FOOD…ITS EVERYWHERE!! AND IF WE’RE LUCKY THEY ALSO HAVE THE CARNIVAL FOR THE FIESTA..RIDES AND COTTON CANDY, A PERFECT MATCH! OF COURSE THAT WAS THE TIME WHEN WE STILL HAD OUR CAR AND WE COULD GO ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME BUT NOW NO CAR… SO THAT CHANGES THINGS A BIT.
3. DINAGYANG PRACTICES- WE ALSO GO AROUND THE CITY TO FIND THE TRIBES THAT PRACTICE AT NIGHT. WE DANCE TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUMS. I COULD FEEL MY TRIBAL ROOTS SURFACING! AGAIN NO CAR.. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF A NEW CAR FOR CHRISTMAS? SLIM AS AN ANOREXIC MODEL …SIGH!
4. GIFTS, GIFTS AND MORE GIFTS- I KNOW I JUST PLACED THE QUOTE THAT SAYS THINGS SHOULDN’T BE THE FOCUS OF THE SEASON. BUT WHAT CAN I SAY, IT JUST AIN’T CHRISTMAS WITHOUT THE GIFTS! CUT ME SOME SLACK, I’M ONLY FOURTEEN, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE EGOISTIC!
