You can't have your cake and eat it too...
I believe there is some truth to it. I feel a twinge of sadness whenever the thought of not coming to Batangas with Gladz goes through my mind yet I feel a bit excited to shop next weekend with Augy and his mom. I am a shopaholic who loves her friends and would do everything to spend time with them if the schedule permits me to. I am crossing my fingers that I can see my friends next time.
Augy and I have been through a stressful Monday with the flurry of text messages and angry phone calls. I have a stubborn streak and Augy can be pretty tough at times so one can just imagine the riot we had for one whole morning. I only had less than two hours of sleep before going to work and I deeply regret battling it out with him and then making up after a few hours. If I only spent all that time sleeping...but heaven knows I fought really hard for the trip to Batangas. In the end, we were able to compromise. I will go shopping with Mrs. de Villa and Augy will make sure I get my weekend in the beach by next month. We will get Gladz a nice Christmas present to make up for my absence (though nothing cuts it more than being there). I have something in mind that would make her heart do little flip-flops.
I have scanned several magazines and catalogues for stylish clothes and to-die-for shoes and I am so excited to go shopping. Augy and I will accompany her mom while she makes her own purchases then scurry off to buy stuff for moi after. Yipee!
Not only that! I get an iPod Nano for the grief I had to go through. Isn't Augy the sweetest? (I still miss Gladz though. Sniff...sniff...)

Our house is devoid of holiday decors except for our lonely Christmas tree with an angel on top and no trimmings. The renovation is done so I expect to be able to finish decorating this Saturday. We plan to make everything simple this year. Our hearts are brimming with happiness so we don't really need to overdo the decors.
My aunt and her family will come over on the 25th. I am wracking my brains for a gift for Quin. My lola told me I should buy her a dress or a pair of shoes instead of the Barbie she yearns for. Her philosophy is that we are spoiling my cousin rotten at the tender age of four. I can't help it. I don't want to disappoint her. I'll probably ask my mom to buy her clothes then I'll scan the toy store for an exquisite doll. I saw the price of one Dancing Princess Barbie and I almost fell off the couch. I hope I don't splurge all my moolah in one weekend. I haven't started with my Christmas shopping yet. Gem wants a Girbaud bag, Kit wants a video card for the computer, Smart Broadband and whathaveyou. I need to remind them that their big sister is not a multi-millionaire yet. Haha!

I won't have work on the 25th and the 26th. We're still thinking of what to do on the 25th when my cousins come over. I'll have work on January 1 and 2 then I'll have a three-day hiatus.

I saw a former co-worker this morning. The first thing he told me was that I gained weight. Augy told me the guy's nuts because almost everyone in Xbox told me I look slim (though I think the word slim is not apt to describe my body). I don't really care. I am starving myself to fit into the clothes I will buy this weekend. I am starting my so-called anorexic diet this very minute. I will miss my KitKat chocolate wafer bars.

My teammates noticed how I love to take pictures of myself. No doubt about it.
Here are more snapshots. Haha!
