18 days, 115 days and counting...

So, I got really tired Yesterday, slept for more than 8 hours and the next thing I know, it's a whole new month! It's September, so what's with all the hullabaloo on this 1st 'ber' month of the year?!?!

I know I'm being a party pooper here but you see, 2 important things will happen/happens during this very important month. This was supposed to be an emotional entry but who cares, I don't want to bother you with my drama queen mode. I'd probably reserve that for my LJ blog where I could turn on the for-your-eyes/for-your-friends-only mode which this blogger account doesn't!

1st: if people in Manila are pretty excited with September1 (Boy&Kris, especially!), I'm not. I don't feel Christmas here and I fret (or more of dread) celebrating Christmas here for the 2nd time. I really hope our holiday plan to spend it in the another place less winterish (i want to put a glue on my crossed-fingers yikes!) will pushthrough. I'd probably start putting up our Christmas tree and some ex-mas decors in our pretty townhome. At least ma-feel man lang ni Ethan ang Christmas spirit and with the 24/7 TFC-mode in our home, I guess in a way we'd be able to celebrate Christmas the 'pinas' way.

2nd: I'm turning the big 3-0 18 days from now and as much as I want to avoid being asked the next time, how old are you? I have to start reminding myself that "I am 30ish" yak! I don't know with you but with my friend, Val and I, we usually get this depressing mode when our birthdays are nearing. I am even in an UNParty or UNcelebrating mood, maybe I'm having a 5-years delayed quarter life crisis. (or maybe this is the new quarter life age because 120 years is the average number of years a person like me would live, 30X4=120, labo!) Probably, a portable oxygen concentrator is a thrilling gift for my big 3-0! Hano daw? ewan ko, hehe pasensya na kumikitang kabuhayan mode! haha.

We'll see if this mood will change 18 days and 115 days from now.

One thing's for sure though, I already have a BIRTHDAY-DATE MOVIE with Stripe.
For those who are married/about to get married, click the link and watch it. For those not married and chose single-blessedness, watch it pa rin and see how hard, blissful and crazy marriage is. This movie makes me smile. Thank you Joy for sharing the link.

...and by the way, merry christmas!
picture below was taken last year, before we left Manila. My mom, Ethan's mommy tata had to put up that Christmas tree early to have a feel of celebrating Christmas with Ethan. They put it down the next day we left the country and put it back in November, I think.
