Christmas is good Life is great! Its all good.

Hmmm. . . where should I start? I really am not in the mood to write anything long or overly analytical. I just want to put this down before it again escapes my mind and I begin forgetting how great it feels.

In this moment, at this very second, my life is almost perfect. I say "almost" because as the old saying goes. . . "nothing is perfect." And yes, indeed my life is not perfect. I could use a couple of pounds less on me. . . and yes, I long for that great European tour I am dying to take with my husband. But how can I be so ungrateful when I am so happy as it is?

My old friend Anj has finally arrived. And unlike before, I made it a point to take the time to meet her before the very last minute. Can't exactly say that she is the same old Anj, as she has changed a lot since I last saw her six months ago. I guess working abroad really does change people. More mature and a hundred fold more "mataray" than I am, I don't think I could ever have balls to pull off snitching a uniform from a bitchy housemate's laundry! And who better to dance "Mag-exercise tayo tuwing umaga" than Anj in her colorul clown costume just so she can earn some unlimited access to an all-Pinoy forum. Mataray man o hindi, may topak ka parin Anj!!!! Mabuhay ang mga adik sa Pilipinas!

Ofcourse it shocked the hell out of me to hear news from my lost friend Rina. Yes, she is the same Rina I've been pining about for years, and yes she is one of the items on my unfinished business list. Anyway, all is well now. Truth is I was kinda worried meeting her again after two years of not speaking, worse being not in good terms. I told my friend Janice that there are times I'd think that it would better not to see her again at all. As I am already in that stage where I can remember our old times with fondness and a smile. It used to be really painful remembering her. But I knew this is something I will regret forever if I let the opportunity pass. This was not the time to be proud, there is no pride among friends, only honesty. Anyway, Rina is Rina as I've always known her. Not a thing has changed. . . well except that she is a million times richer and she drives her own car. It's so refreshing to talk to her as if nothing ever came between us, or no time nor spare has ever divided us. I missed this friend so much, and though I know it can never be the same as it was (coz she is now staying in NY), my heart rests at peace.

At this point, my Christmas is already perfect and complete. Truth is, Myke owes me no gift this Christmas as he already gave me a phone just this November. Hehehehe. . . eh uto2 eh! As they say. . . "bawal tumanggi sa grasya!" I will not describe how I feel now . . . I'm sure you know exactly how I feel now. . . .
