An open letter to an airywoman

As Filipinos, it's been a tradition to give gifts to our loved ones, friends and what not during Christmas. It's part of the essence of Filipino Christmas that has been in practice for over a century, I bet.

Be it a little something or a grand big thing. But giving gifts just for the sake of giving is another story.

I don't understand what kind of thinking those people have in mind. Don't they realize that what they give is a reflection of their personality.

Let's put it this way: "if you give something trash-ish, then you're more like it than the person you're giving it".

Don't give gifts to belittle someone. Or cos' you think Its the only thing they deserved. Please have a second thought.

I personally choose the gifts im giving away. putting myself in their shoes to see if they'll like it or not. To received a trash-ish gift is like a slap on my face. I would rather not receive gift than having to have been given another trash to throw.

Gift

It's a trash.

Don't get me wrong. My happiness is simple. I appreciated the gifts that's been given to me, just so I know it comes from the heart!

I like to keep things left hanging, so this is a good mantra for me this year to keep me going.

Check ?

I sorta made my own checklist this year...

I love them piggies

“Friends can be new, friends can be old. But all of them are as precious as gold”.

Last hurrah with my piglets for this year. Who would've have thought a friendship like this will happen? I just known them for 5 months but its like I've known them more half of melife.

We've been through the topsy-turvey adventure you wouldn't wanna know... Shshshshshsssshhh

They have been part of my "life of a travel" and so many others of my so-called maturing life. Lol
