and that would be olops the other reindeer by parokya ni edgar. hehehe.

ang pilipinas daw ang may pinakamatagal na pasko.. september pa lang, pasko na. tapos na ang new year, pero pasko pa rin. but i think a lot of people would agree when i say that the "christmas spirit" isn't too manifest this year. i think the recent typhoons [ and i heard another one is coming up ] plus the worsening economy [ and maybe even fpj's death ] are enough to drown everyone's spirit. everyone i know is thriftier this year - i think divisoria has become the new christmas shopping haven [ hindi na greenhills ]. plus, less households have decorations/christmas lights. i'm not saying that christmas is all about giving and receiving gifts and embellishing the household with parols and lights, but it plays a part in the whole christmas tradition anyhow. and the fact that people are cutting down on such is an indication that something's definitely wrong.

nevertheless, we still pushed through with our christmas traditions [ exchange gifts, christmas parties ]. we had lunch today at tempura with my law school barkada where we traded gifts, most of which were food [ not that i'm complaining. hehe ] we also watched bridget jones afterwards. and yesterday, we had the winlaw org christmas party in school.

and so begins my 3-week food binge.

things to be happy about:

• i received two cd's today! [ imago and switchfoot! nice nice ]
  
• i didn't study for agency and got away with it
  
• i'm almost done with my christmas shopping [ yu gi oh cards for our class exchange gift thing - check; mr. bean teddy bear for daisy - check..]
  
• good food
  
• no civpro tomorrow and saturday!!
  

oh wait, i still have labor tom. :P
