:!: its six, 6, sais, days to go - - - PASKO NA(CHRISTMASTIME)! :p watching tv showing the people rushing for last minute christmas shopping - i sort of envy them. traffic is horrible even here in tacloban city and watching on tv the traffic in imperial manila - its horrendous! last night and this morning, the husband and me was talking about our plans for the season. plans - since, we have no money. the bonus that our president promised on tv and newspapers remains at that - all on tv and newspaper only. this week is the examination week of the kids. tomorrow, one them will have their party and nothing... by friday another one will have their party and nothing...and on saturday one will come home and nothing... frankly, as a mother i'm panicking. this could be one the worst christmas we'll be having. i'm living daily - and counting. i thank the Lord, everyday that we can make through. the president said that the economy is going great! but where's that? the peso is strong, where's that? i felt so helpless. i just can't imagine how those less-fortunate-than-me spend their christmas. i felt like going back to bed and sleep through christmas :zz: . but i'm hoping and praying that everything will turn out right...tomorrow is another day and tomorrow brings new perspective...a brighter one, till the next and the next and the next. FELIZ NAVIDAD EVERYONE!!! :oops:
