CHRISTMAS BREAK =) / DECEMBER 14,2007

There’s something about eating alone in relative silence amidst shelves and shelves of books. I took the opportunity to do so after going through the maddening crowd in Market! Market! in search of a last-minute bridal shower gift for my friend, Bu.

Walking back to the office, I decided to stop by Serendra’s tiny neighborhood book shop (no, not the humongous Fully Booked Flagship store; that is on Bonifacio High Street =)). I browsed through the shelves in search for a perfect gift for sis-in-law Momsy, and for friends Nikolodeon and Cheffy. Trying to make the most out of what precious little time I had to do this last-minute Bridal Shower and Christmas shopping, I pre-ordered my lunch at the in-house café.

Grilled Cheese Panini
Chips with Aioli
Ice-cold Coke Light

Perfect! ^_^

As my gifts were being wrapped, I took the chance to eat leisurely and to just sit back to people-watch. There’s something relaxing about just watching people come and go (some alone, rushing off to some place with their Christmas shopping loot; others in groups, laughing merrily as they rushed to meet their other friends who were already waiting for them in some of the outdoor cafes). It’s something I haven’t really done in a really long while, although it’s something I really wish I can do more often. Hay….=)


I originally meant for this to be a Merry Christmas post, but I am—once again—delayed. Ngyah. =)

So anyway, Belated Merry Christmas everyone and here’s my wish for another year filled with pleasant surprises!

May God be with all of us. =)
