Christmas day is finally done! It was more like a non-event. Not that I hate Christmas and all that, but I think the Christmas stress just gets to me. All that preparation, shopping, parties, traffic and whatever have you thrown in on or before Christmas Day. And after Christmas Day passes, you think to yourself, "That's it?" Sometimes all that hassle just doesn't make it all worthwile. Or maybe I'm just getting old. (Argh!)
But come to think of it, what can you do on Christmas Day that you can't do on ordinary days? Be nice? Be generous? Give gifts? Give love? Hey, if you want some loving, I got your loving right here! Try me, baby yeah! (offer good to the female of the species only). Bottomline, If you want to be a good person in His book, be a good person all year round. Not just on His Birthday.
Anyway, you know that weird habit of people sending text messages to everyone in their phone book starting 10:00pm of the 24th up to the wee hours of the morning of the 25th (sometimes extending to the late afternoon and even evening for those who forget to wake up for Noche Buena)? Well, it's starting to become a drag already. All those quotes and greetings forwarded, re-used, re-hashed... not one message really put a smile on my face. (Don't get me wrong, I do thank you all for remembering me). But message-wise, there was one message I got that really made my Christmas. I had asked for this person's permission to print the message here. The person agreed provided that I keep this person's identity anonymous. Itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang.... Randy. Randy Chang.
Message:
Potah pare! Ngayn gabi kami matutulog sa Sofitel. Nandun na kmi sa front desk, bags, water and all tapos di dala ng nanay ko yung certificate! Para kmi mga yagit na pinalayas! Juzko! Nakakahiya talaga! Merry Christmas to me!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ang cute 'no? Best Christmas message yet. Happy Holidays to all!

Merry Christmas Elishooooo!!!!!!
Serr, tahgay pah!!!
Mas maganda pa din Christmas greeting ko sa yo - Pakyu! bwahaha.
Bah! Humbug!
You're right about the stupid forwarding blah blah blah. You know that I do compose those greetings personally, one stupid friend of mine recycled it and forwarded it to our common friends verbatim, pati name ko nandon (as in Scrooge). Stupid plagiarist!
So, this year, I just sent a simple Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. At least if we get accused by Hallmark of copyright infringement, there is safety in numbers.
buo na pasko ko! nakita ko ulit si Ms. L.L. Liza.
namiss rin kita bernardo bernardo bernardo! i lab u!!!
alam mo naman na hindi kumpleto ang buhay ko kapag hindi kita nakikita sa screen ko eh........*sigh*
Ms. L.L. Liza, magkakilala na naman tayo so tawagin mo na lang ako sa nickname ko...Bernie Bernie Bernie.
Hmmm, and here I thought people expected those forwarded holiday wishes in text form. Ooops.
Ahh well, I hate those forwarded messages as well, but I forward them because everyone else does (how's that for sheep-like behavior?).
One year I didn't forward anything at all, and was later asked by a few friends, "Why didn't you forward anything?".... meh.
Try me, baby yeah! (offer good to the female of the species only)
Is the offer still valid? *wink* *wink* Hehe
Uhm... is there something wrong with your eye? heehee...
