Christmas in our Hearts

Christmas is coming in 6 days.

Where everyone's so busy preparing for christmas rush… buying gifts for friends and families.. there are some families grieving on the loss of someone special in their lives… trying helplessly to celebrate the christmas despite the very odd feeling.  I saw this in Rated K… a mom lost her favorite son, Charles.  When she was asked about this… she said…

 Hindi kumpleto ang buhay ng isang Ina… sa pagkawala ng Anak.
Hindi ko talaga feel ang Christmas ngayon…
pero magkaganunpaman, itutuloy pa rin ng aming pamilya ang Pasko. 

And I remember, my friend, Matto… who once or twice told me…

"Hindi ko talaga ma-feel ang Pasko ngayon. Parang ang hirap hirap icelebrate".   

How about Rowel's family in Ilocos?  How are they coping? 

May all those who are grieving find refuge in the loving arms of God.  That they be assured that the special people who will never be part of Noche Buena and Media Noche in the coming holidays, are happy celebrating in heaven.  And it pains them to see us not happy.

In our hearts, let's reserve a special place for them… Merry Christmas, Minette, Rowel, Theresa, Bombie, etc.

Prom on Christmas 2006!

This is our company’s theme for Christmas party.  We were delighted to see the kolokotoys and the timangs in their dashing debonair looks… ladies came in colorful gowns and the gentlemen (ehem) in tuxedo and barongs. 

“Parang hindi nagdaan sa itlog!”  Hahahaha

We had fun at the games they prepared, I shouted (and almost fainted) when I almost hit someone’s private part just to grab the rubber duckie tied around their waist.  I lost my energy in the “Dance the Night Away.”   So hard to party with that long gown and high-heeled shoes.

Actually I celebrated my birthday on the dance floor while “Happy” was being played at 12 midnight.  And I am.
