Good food! From top left to bottom: baby back ribs, Jed's shrimp, pinakbet,

cream dory, lumpiang shanghai, rotisserie chicken. 

The night before (the 16th), my parents fetched me from work and we stopped by Pizza Hut to pick up two boxes of pizza. Needless to say, Bitok and I pigged out til I literally collapsed on my bed and didn't get up until the next day. LMAO. Way to celebrate my 2-week hiatus from carbs. Haha! 

The restaurant was empty except for these two pizza-hungry kids. (Parents waited in the car.)

Reunion with close friends is fun, too.

On the 15th, I had a tea + storytelling session with Uffz. My goodness, how I missed her! She just has this really chill attitude all the time, which is one of the many reasons why I love her. We both agreed that it isn't such a good idea to work in the same place with your real-life close friends. HAHA! But we also said that we never had and probably never will have any problems if we worked together because we aren't so "clingy" to one another. LOL. Yay to the both of us for knowing how to be independent. =P

Similarly, later that evening, Mymy came to the office to bless us with her delicious cupcakes! She stuck around til 11pm, so I had a lot of time to catch up with her as well. It just felt really, really, really good to share everything that's been going on with me. If Aizel's my little sister, Mymy would be my big sister. Love her to bits. :)

With Joeyness. We're soooo red. Well, Mymy was wearing orange. But still!

Thank God for webcams and Skype, Richie doesn't seem so far. :)

Yes, he was wearing his helmet during most of our chat.

We watched stupid YouTube videos, like what we usually do together.

It was fun and funny.

King joined in on the Skype fun, too! ^_^

It was so funny how Richie kept calling King's name and he would look around for Richie. Awww.

Oh, and that's our cutie pie baby Aunt Rochelle. :)

Speaking of Skype, I had a quick chat with Aizel before midnight.

(Nasa ibang bansa? HAHAHA!)

Merry Christmas, friend! Single parin tayo! LOL!!!

Before chatting with Aizel, Bitok was teasing pestering me about being single. For some reason, he included Aizel in the discussion, which went like this, basically:

Bitok: Ano happen kung ikaw turn lesbian?

Me: What the f/ck. I like dicks, okay?

Bitok: What the f/ck.

Me: You stupid, dumb sh/t. 

Bitok: (laughs) Dude. Ikaw need to watch out. Kayo ni Aizel. Still single...(shakes head)

Me: Shut up. We like dicks. Screw you.

Yes, that is how we talk when it's just the two of us. No, we don't hate. Yes, I love my baby brother.

Bitok loves me and painted a photo of Louis Garrel for me.

(Which I made a quick post on.)

He started in the afternoon of the 17th.

And finished at 11 in the evening of the same day. 

Yes, my  brother is extremely talented and therefore cooler than your brother. (Okay, that sounded arrogant, I'm sorry. I'm proud, that is all. HAHA!) Thank you, Bitok!!!

I brought the car to work three days in a row.

The streets were sweet, calm and nearly empty on Wednesday. Traffic was building up a bit on Thursday (there was a slight accident in front of Ayala Alabang, too). I was nearly late for work on Friday. Thank God there was an empty parking space so I was able to park, get out of the car, run up to clock in, and go back down to get all my things. Haha! The whole Christmas rush thing is really crazy. Each year I vow to start preparing for Christmas by September or October so as not to get stuck in all the mall craze and such, but each year I continue to procrastinate. Haha, fail. Anyway, traffic, of course is a whole different story. 'Twas my first time dealing with real bumper-to-bumper traffic without Pops sitting next to me. (Drove to work by myself on Wed & Thurs, with Mommy Hope on Fri.) I passed. Sorta. Hehe. :)

From top to bottom: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -- along Commerce Avenue.

Waiting for a parking space is another story as well. Rommel sorta kept me company on Wednesday as he was waiting for a spot himself. I kinda got nervous when he started walking to my car and opened the passenger side. LOL! He sat with me and said the AC in his car was not so cool. HAHAHA. That lasted for about a minute because this guy with a brand new Subaru drove up right in front of my car to show off his brand new car to Rommel (apparently they know each other LOL) and this other guy from the AM shift. Haha. I will never understand guys and their love for cars. 

Of course I secretly took photos. They were so amusing to watch. HAHA!

Bored while waiting in the car? Take random photos of self & other things.

Yeah, totally lovin' my phone now. Camera on hand 24/7. Haha! But yeah, these are blog pics. I don't like tweeting photos for some reason. Probably because I miss using instagr.am. (Okay, getting another iPod Touch in the future FOR SURE. Hihi.)

Bitok and I like going to Toy Kingdom for fun. And playing with the toys there.

(More photos from ze mobile phone. Goodness, I'm addicted to taking photos!)

These Sylvanian families are the cutest thing ever!!!!!!! PANDA FAMILY!!!!

Bitok and I said we'd collect them when we have our own homes.

And we'll definitely have a glass case constructed for them.

These were cool. Of course I squealed when I saw the dinosaurs!

Then Bitok and I had a mini dinosaur battle. LOL.

Another Christmas in the office.

What a mess! I've purchased gifts and wrapping materials ahead of time, but never

actually got around to wrapping presents. LOL! Fail. The whole rush feel sorta blows.

The Daiso exchange gift was fun! Of course there were tons of eating (which I didn't

participate so much in, hehe). I baked brownies & pink cupcakes that look like puto. LOL

I baked when I got home Thursday evening. Finished at 5am. Slept at 6am. Woke up at 10am. Baked some more. Left the house at 1:20pm. Picked up Mommy Hope. Got stuck in traffic. Was almost late for work. Did more Christmas shopping during my hour-long break. Had tons of classes. Had exchange gifts. Ate dinuguan and Janine's super yummy potato salad. Had more classes.

Well, that was fun. :)

---

I came home Friday evening and was extremely sleepy but  refused to sleep.

And stayed online until 3am. Or 3:30am.

I love you forever, Internet. Haha.

Anyway, Toots and I were exchanging tweets in the wee hours of the morning and were discussing ways to get skinny. Like anorexic skinny. (Yes, it's still in my list of things to do. Sorta. Hehe.) She says she'll do the 14-day regimen that I finished. I told her I'd join in on the fun and hop on the 14-day zero carbs, high protein diet + walking yet again. I wonder if that's safe? Whatever, I'll do it. If it makes me skinny like whoa, I'll gladly do it. We start on the 26th. I'm ready, Freddy. :)

Christmas Eve (day) was pretty great. Tito Boy + family came over and we had awesome lunch together. I continued to bake more brownies all throughout the afternoon, too! Haha. Spoke to Tita Shan on the phone for a really, really long time. I wish I could be with her; I wouldn't mind all the Canadian snow and extremely cold weather! We talked about tons of random stuff and as always, we asked each other if we had boyfriends already. HAHAHA! I love herrrrr! Before passing the phone to someone else, though, she was all like:

Tita Shan: Chrisfel, magpakabait ka ha!

Me: Opo naman, Tita! Bakit, di ba ko mabait?

Me: Tita naman, mabait naman ako ah!

Tita Shan: Magpakabait ka!!!

LOL. Is my halo no longer visible above my head? Hihihi. I miss my tita so much. :') We also chatted with Richie through Skype, but he and Odessa were busy with Kinect. Why, Merry Christmas to you, too, brother from far away. Heehee.

---

It's going to be another busy day up ahead. I kinda just want to sleep because this period is making me lazy and sleepy. But of course that's impossible because we're expecting a whole lot of people to come by. :)

---

I don't know why, but I like this photo.

(Because Louis is reflected in the mirror? Heehee.)

I edited the colours, of course. Because I have so much time on my hands. Haha!

 I need to buy more dresses. Or learn to sew for real. Teehee.

Happy Birthday, Jesus Christ!

Thank You and I love You. ^_^
