it is more blessed to give than to receive

my first birthday gift i received on the third day of october (my birthday is on the latter part).

my first christmas gifts (yup, plural) i received on november 28.

our first carollers came to my parents' place on november 2 (yup, all souls' day).  and then there was another set yesterday, november 29.  they were early not just in date but in time as well  ->  4:30 p.m.

it occurred to me just now the difference in my reactions to the two:

for the gifts, i squealed in delight going, 'yey!  so early!  : D'

for the carollers, i was like, 'huh?!  so early!  : }'

is it because receiving to me is more welcome than giving?  uh-oh...  baaddd...

my dad was excited to give to the carollers...  i guess i should try to be more like him...

the courage of a hero

bonifacio day...  that funny verse came to mind:

"andres bonifacio, atapang a tao
aputol a kamay, hindi atakbo
aputol a paa, hindi atakbo
apugot a ulo, hindi atakbo
aputol a <toot>, atakbo atulin."

kidding aside, in times that call for heroism, hope we all could be atapang, hindi atakbo...

God is good : )

good food (i especially liked the puto pao from biñan...  or was it cavite?)...  : )~
good friends...  ♥
good time (♩ ♪ song ♫ ♬, pics and laughter)...  : D

life is good and i am thankful...  : )

presumptuous

passed by the supermarket on our way to a mall.  friend checked out some lindt chocs.  i pointed to the almond one saying, 'this is what i buy...'

with that he immediately picked it up.

me:  'hey, is that for me?'

friend:  'no, for me.'

ahahaha... presumptuous me!  he did share it with me though....

my fave

i received a call from someone i've considered a friend for quite sometime now.

caller:  'you want leche flan?'

huh?!  with such a question the 'friendship' suddenly seemed questionable to me.  if he really were my friend, he would already know that the answer to that would be a resounding yes!
