merry christmas!!!

Today is december 22, 2006. 2 days before christmas!!! Everybody's busy either packing their gifts or still shopping for one, haha!The season brings extra energy to every Christian. It makes them feel more generous, more patient, more loving and more kind to one another!

Actually, we are now having a party here in the office. Their having their wine/beer session and I have to stay back because, as you may know, I don't drink. Gone are the days when the Corplan staff just go out for a simple dinner and go back to office for the raffle. This Christmas, we have this 'dami' food and we invited guests. Its not the usual intimate christmas celebration but its nice din spending the season with many people. Maybe, it is just my personal preference that i like a simple one.

We will all be very busy the rest of the week till we finally get back to our old selves come January. But I have to tell you first my itinerary for these coming holidays! Tonight i shall have to go back early to Calumpit because youth have the annual caroling. Tomorrow 23,I'll be going out for my toy project. I hope it will be well, pls pray for it. On the 24th, syemps, everybody will be so sooo busy! From the church Christmas party to Noche buena then sleep till one inaanak comes to greet me and ask for aguinaldo on the day of Christmas haha! 26th is declared holidays! Yehey! Then I filed a leave for 27th to 29th. On the 27th, the youth will have its planning summit haha! On 29 naman would be the church's planning. In short, the rest time would only be 26th and 28th!
