Christmas Break 2012 (Part 2)

Now this part of the blog is the happiest. *more party poppers* because in this entry I will be writing and sharing pictures of our Singapore-Malaysia Trip :)

Christmas was different because we did not celebrate it at home in the province. No midnight mass with early seat reservation to be able to watch the panuluyan. No noche buena with lolo and tito and tita. Nonetheless, it was a happy if not the happiest Christmas, because we were all together. :) I think I made a blog about this a few years ago, on how much Christmas traditions change every year. But what really matters most is that we are always together on such special day :)

December 24: Flight to Singapore

We had a Christmas Eve flight. At first I thought, it was such a loser idea to have a flight where when 12 midnight strikes, we will be up in the air. The only consolation I had was hoping to see Santa and his reindeers while on flight. kidding.

But it was not as bad as i thought. Upon take off, I was able to see stars on the ground. With the many Christmas lights all around the city, it really seemed as if little twinkling stars were sprinkled on to the ground that night. I was not able to take pictures. but the scene was for me.. magical :)

And i was not able to see Santa and his reindeers. But I was awaken at exactly 12 mn by Santa himself. And the little kid in me went giddy with his Christmas biscuits and candies. :p Merry Christmas indeed :)

while waiting for boarding, im teaching my parents how to be vain, and i will surely regret it :p 

before take off, the seats beside me were empty, I was able to take the window seat. yay.

Santa on the plane!:)

I woke up for these. heee. Merry Christmas!:) 

At Changi Airport. We were picked up by my brother and Tito where we were brought home with a buffet of delicious noche buena waiting for us :D 

Merry Christmas in SG!:) 

December 25: Christmas Day

We started this day by hearing mass at the Divine Mercy Chapel near Tita's house. After breakfast, off we went to our first hotel, Marina Bay Sands :)

and things will start to change..

to start it all: my hair! haha. it's short now. like kindergarten short. haha. i like it. and i wanted to have my hair cut since summer, but because of grad pictorials, i need to postpone it. and grad pictorials are done - and i don't want to postpone it any longer. haha. so i had my hair cut yesterday afternoon after watching the Agnes of God play with my brother. (i have no decent pictures yet so you need to see me personally if you want to see it. i feel weird. i think it looks weird. haha.) and so everything follows. *** change is something inevitable. a natural phenomenon that would definitely happen in one way or another. we can't stop it (i think) but we can postpone it and i think i've postponed "that" inevitable change for too long now, and I have no other choice but to let it happen. i've already felt the urge to remove that something from my system at the start of the sem (as the change im talking about). well, i knew i need to deal wi...

thesis encounters :P

because i plan to ban my laptop tomorrow for the whole day since i need to study for chem125 and socsci3. kelangan ko ng magsulat at magupdate ngayon ng blog. haha. i would just like to share some of our (my thesismates and my) encounters with our so adorable thesis adviser, sir sumera :P note: thesis is much more fun because of sir sumera. hahaha. :P ON NAMES last semester sir: ano nga pangalan niyo? anne: anne po sir. sir: tas ikaw mr. guerrero (pertaining to og) og: OG po. kate: kathleen po sir. and everytime na nagkikita kami last year, ganyan ang set up. January 2009 sir: ano nga pangalan mo? angel? anne: anne po sir. sir: ah anne, e sino si angel? anne: (sino nga kaya sir? hehe) last week sir: ano nga pangalan mo? anna o crystal? anne: anne po sir. sir: ah anne. dumating si kate sir: ikaw crystal? kate: sir kathleen. sir: ah kathleen ka din? kate: (sino pa po ung isa sir?) :P ON SULFURIC ACID when talking about the prosposal...

a sad day.

i was a messenger last tuesday for my mom. she asked me to whisper a message to my tita. and just this afternoon, while i was in the lab for thesis, my mother texted me that tita lita is gone. it was quite expected, since this has been her third time in the past 3 months to be hospitalized. her third time that transfusion is needed. and of the three times, maybe this was the worst. *** she has given a lot to others. to her parents, her siblings and to us, her nephews and nieces. i was able to live with her for three years during high school and i have a lot of things to thank her for. I'm not that sure if she knows how grateful i am that i was able to stay with her during those times. looking back i would not have chosen any other place to stay for high school apart from hers. no matter how far paranaque may be in manila. i would never forget the mornings where she would wake up early too since i need to be at school early and she would stay late in pnu since our classe...
