So what's your favourite holiday?

People have their own favourite holiday.

One of my good friends loves Valentine's Day.

Another one loves Easter.

And another one loves Hannukah.

My sister loves thanksgiving.

I love Christmas.

I love everything about it. From snooping around for info on what to get for my friends, relatives, etc.

I know I'm too old to believe in Santa but I still put a christmas sock on my window pane. Mum doesn't put treats on there but I love the fact that I'm still in touch with annoying inner self.

I write a letter to Santa. And I get upset when I don't get to help putting up a Christmas Tree.

I always look forward to fighting with my mum on where to put our Christmas Tree for the year.

I always look forward to fighting with my mum on which colour to use every year. This year we decided to use green and gold. Last year was red and green and gold. But we didn't get to appreciate it cos we spent Christmas in Manila.

Every year we fight on which kind of christmas lights to use. The big ones or the small ones. We used the big ones this year. And they are very pretty.

We don't have any gifts under the tree yet. But I will do my Christmas shopping soon. I promise.

I just love Christmas. And Everything that comes with it. I love texting people before midnight greeting them Happy Holidays.

I love watching kids sing the Christmas Carols.

I love staying up late waiting for midnight and I love the buzz that comes with the wait.

Every year my family and I would throw a bbq with the rest of our relatives in Manila. We would have a lot of food on the table.

We start to find out who our babies are for Kris Kringle.

And every year, one member of the family finds out that Santa doesn't exist. And we have to deal with that too.

With a lot of kids in the house, we have to shut up and not ruin their magical christmas.

Which I'm all for. I didn't find out about Father Christmas til I was twelve. And it made me happy as a kid. I wasn't gona ruin that for them.

I'm in high spirits knowing that Christmas is just around the corner.

I like kissing under a mistletoe.

I love everything about Christmas

I really can't wait for Christmas.

I really, really can't wait.


Let me introduce you to some of my pets

Our house is like a mini zoo. Or a forest.

Or whatever you want to call it.

We have over 60 fishes in our pond.

I have a big fish which I thought was sick a couple of days ago. Apparently, the weather was just too hot and it scratched itself from trying to jump out of the water. But everything is good now.

Uncle Lucio found a way to keep the temperature cool. By running the water pump for twelve hours straight and only turning it off for the night. Now, I'm happy to say that my fishes are happy.

We also have nine lorikeets.

I can't really name them cos they all look alike.

I don't like them a lot cos all they do is eat and poop. And I have to go and wash their poop off.

Something I don't really like doing but have to for us to be able to hang out in a poop-free garden-slash-backyard.

And we do have a couple of cockatoos.

I named them Simon and Garfunkel

Everyone meet Simon.

And meet Garfunkel.

Simon comes and goes. He basically just comes back every morning for his feed. But Garfunkel is good. He stays all the time. He doesn't poop as much as Simon does too.

We used to have a couple of rabbits but I think they ran away. But I remember naming them Laurel and Hardy.

And Uncle had a pet fox, it was over a year ago. I think I named it Lisa. She just stayed outside our backyard. Every morning she would be there just staring at you. Then one morning she never came back.

Sigh.

We have kangaroos hopping around as well. I never paid attention to it cos I don't like kangaroos at all. They almost made me crash Josh [my car] a few times after work. *

They just cross the road. Out of nowhere. It's crazy. They're a crazy bunch.

Actually I take that back. I like kangaroos and koalas. I like strange animals for pets.

What keeps me awake?

I do have a nice bedroom.

Did I mention I painted the walls by myself? Sure it took me three weeks but the colours are yummy. I could just eat my wall.

And I love my bed.

So why, why, why, can't I bloody sleep?
