I'll Be Home for Christmas...

if only in my dreams...

I used to listen to that song over and over again once December starts. Sang by The Lettermen, I never realized the true meaning of the words until I wasn't home for Christmas.

This Christmas, marks the second Christmas that I will spend away from home and now away from P. This would have been our first Christmas as husband and wife but we cannot control fate.

With Christmas just around the corner, I am filled with melancholy. Christmas songs always on the radio and Christmas commercials on T.V. is something that can make one sick especially if they spend Christmas away from home.

It's not gift giving and it's not the food but it is the being in the midst of your family that makes Christmas a special holiday for all of us. It might be because we Filipinos spend it differently from others, although maybe it is not that different for those who know the true meaning of the season.

My mom and I have been planning what to do during the holidays. We won't cook and I'm sure we won't decorate at all; these are just reminders of what we would have had where all of us are together. Lonely eh? But I do know that I will spend my Christmas in my dreams.

May your holidays be merry and bright. Merry Christmas!

SCAREDY CAT!

I'm not in a posting mood right now... with the effects of alcohol still lurking in my veins and in my hypothalamus.. but I'm pretty bored with wifey far away so I would like to share this picture I took with my phone.. this post is just outside the window of wifey's house and whooahhh is that a cat? heheheh Shine, Sly and Raven chased this cat up this post the night before.. and when I woke up the cat was still there with the dogs still watching her below.. I'm pretty sure the cat did'nt sleep a wink heheheh but if you look at the picture more closely you'd see a bird on the electrical wire looking on at the cat... you could only guess what is on the mind of this bird... not to mention the cat... hahahah

Another photo opportunity presented itself to me when I was out in downtown L.A. last week.

Equipment: Sony Ericsson W810i 2 MP cam

Flowers: Pink Flower

I took this shot at the Universal Citywalk at Universal Studios in North Hollywood. I think I did a pretty good job with the photography, don't you think?
