Today's an awesome day. It's Jesus' birthday, why shouldn't it be, right?  I had some peace... I freed my mind from all the burdensome thoughts I've been having. I had a calm and happy heart. ♥ Something I haven't had for the longest time.

Last night, my bestfriend called me on my cell around 1am. We haven't talked/seen each other for a couple of months now. I miss that guy. When I'm with him, everything's just less serious and less complicated. Though at times I get irritated with his stubborn and wacky antics, but he still never fails to make me smile. :) I guess that's just what I love about him. Its effortless. He gives me a natural high. I really had fun catching up and making up for all the lost time. :)

I got to chat with my Bishie earlier today too! She's been my highschool bestfriend. We used to be more like sisters. We wrote each other looong letters even if we were in the same class, not to mention, even seatmates! Since she moved to New York though, we sort of drifted away (communication-wise). College took away some of our time and we've met new friends. If there was a chance we're both online and not busy (rare), we'd IM each other to have our usual how-are-you's. :) Anyway, we did some catching up awhile ago.. :) I'm thankful. She's actually the one who got me into blogging, chatting.. all the internet stuff. Hahaha.. what a great influence :) I miss her! She was the closest one to me in highschool. I know a lot has changed. We have our differences.. but despite all that, I'm grateful we remain good, if not the best, friends.. in short, BISHIES. ♥ We'll stick by that. I'll be ninang when she has her kids.. Haha. Got that saved here! :) No escape! I'll be looking forward to it.

Look who I found underneath our Christmas tree this morning.. hahaha.. its Pepper! :) She probably thinks she's a gift. Hmm.. she's indeed a gift to me. For the past 5 months, she keeps me sane. uhhh, except the times when I find myself talking to her. Haha! She keeps me off the emo mode. :P I hope dogs dont have thoughts, she'd definitely find me weird. Hehe.. I heart pepper! She's a baby! A very spoiled one.

Today, my family went to our annual Christmas reunion, happens every 25th. It was nice seeing the entire clan. I don't even remember know the names of my other little cousins!! We're that big a clan! hahaha.. :) We had delicious food, we exchanged gifts, and played games. :) The hosts had all the families color-coded.. we were in green. After the party, I invited my family to Starbucks to grab some coffee. :) I had a coupon that entitled me to a free drink. I just had to claim it. Nobody refuses a free Strabucks drink! It was funny when we entered the cafe and we were all wearing GREEN! As if we had a dance number or something. :) Look at us! Are we cute or what? Haha! I looove this family pic! ♥ I'll probably have it printed. I love it. Anyway, another bonus for today is that I finally got my Starbucks 2007 Planner! wooohoo! :) This is proof of my caffeine addiction.. and my OC-ness. Haha! :) (I have an extra sticker.. so Elaine, remind me about it! Its yours!)

I'm happy. ♥ That's not something I'd normally say. It's not the material things. It's just that my family were all together this Chritmas day. :) In the past years, we had different places to go to... or we stayed home locked up in our respective rooms. I think the GREEN thing helped. Hehe.. :) I love my family. I really really do. I'll bet my life on it. ♥ We're not the close type, we dont talk about personal things much (or I don't), we spend little time together.. but inspite of all that, we're just one hell of a team. We have differences, but we manage to stick together. ♥ God is good.

Happy birthday, Jesus. Though I know its your birthday, I think I've had wonderful gifts blessings today. :) Thank You so much.

It's the simple things that make life worthwhile.♥
