It’s Christmas day.  I got up late today.  We have some small celebration last night.  After work, I rushed way back home to cook some meal for my other roommates.  And I never even have the chance to go to midnight mass last night.  Coz it’s almost Christmas eve when I finished cooking.  We have just  some drinks and funny games.  Some stories told how each one missed spending Christmas back home.  But not spoling the joyous  spirit of the season, we all try to have fun as much as we can.  Some friends of my roommate from their work drop by.  Bringing also some drinks to share.  Still feeling a little sober and got a minor headache but I still have to go to work today.  But I still can manage to do my work.  Maybe, I will try to ask permission to my boss to allow to take half-day work or even under time.

I’d call my parents back home last night, also my nephews and nieces and some friends.  And as expected you have to be patient to get a overseas connection.  Luckily, I got connected after 3 tries.

I really miss spending Christmas back home.  There’s no other place and celebrations that would be like it back home.

After work, I will definitely go to church for some prayers of thanksgiving.

Merry Christmas to all… from here in Dubai… to the Philippines…. and to the rest of the world.   Merry Christmas.
