Maligayang Pasko 2009

Since this is my first Christmas in the kingdom, I'm totally missing out on all the simple pleasures of the season. My mind is filled with things like the love of my big family, the company of good friends, and the warmth of the Filipino people. I've been crying my eyes out whenever one of my family or friends call me on my phone to greet me, but I compose myself knowing that I'll be home to experience what I'm missing and to celebrate the coming of 2010 in a few days time.

May the warm, wonderful feelings brought about by the miracle called Christmas fill every part of your world with happy memories of hope and joy! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!ü
