I write this blog using free wireless internet in Starbucks at Astor Place. David and I decided to spend the day studying (yuck) since we are still in the middle of Finals week.
The Christmas-y feel is very much in the air already. I drink my Peppermint Hot Chocolate from red cups now. Fridge-weather is back again, and people are bundling up in multiple layers, and wearing irritating mukluk boots. Everybody is in a shopping mood, and the holiday music is everywhere.
Spend spend spend. Jingle bells. Toast toast toast. It's great. But it's actually study study study for us.
It has been tradition that people gift-give during this season. And gifts come in many packages (material or immaterial). Back home, my family has organized a "secret santa" thing and I am part of it. The thing is, the budget is only Php100.00! That will be extremely difficult for me, since that amount of money can only buy the morning paper and plain coffee here. ;-) It's time to get creative then!
Speaking of going overbudget with gifts, my loving bf just gave me an early surprise of the season! After losing the iPod mini he gave me last Christmas in Spain...
he gave me another new one! ;-)
Now I am going crazy putting Gwen, Billie, U2 and Moby in it.
