Hello, Confucius

My domain finally expired last week. Should I get a new one? Or should I stick with Blogger?

I’m going home to Bacolod in a few hours. We’ll be spending our first Christmas in our new home and we’re happy that some of our relatives will be spending it with us. Mom’s brother and his whole family, Dad’s two sisters, my kuya and Jigo… yes, it’s gonna be one fun Christmas.

Finals starts on Thursday but I don’t have any exams until Monday next week. So I practically have half of the week off to do some last minute Christmas shopping. There is nothing much on my shopping list but it seems that with every phone call from my mom, something gets added to it. But hey, I’m not complaining because shopping’s fun.

Just like last year, we’re having a pre-Christmas (last year it was post-Christmas) lunch at home with some close family friends and the neighbors. Mom’s thinking of making it a yearly tradition now, some sort of a thanksgiving lunch to end the year. There is nothing more special than spending the holidays with good food and great company. And yes, a bit of booze might help too.

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately because Finals Week is coming up and papers are piling up. I’m also worried sick because I’ve missed a lot of quizzes because I was sick for two weeks.

I’ve been out of the hospital for a little over a week now but I’m still having nightmares because of all the bloodtests that I had to undergo. If there is one thing I’m scared of, it’s blood.

I got an early Christmas present from the Boy two weeks ago. A DVD of the Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert came in the mail. Too bad it came while I was in the hospital which meant that I didn’t get to watch it until last week. All I can say is… wow. A big thank you to P for feeding my Les Mis obsession.
