HOOKED ON A FEELING

♬ I'm hooked on a feeling!!! The Christmas feeling that is. Our tree is up, the ornaments hanged (lovingly by my boyfriend and I, haha!), and the pine scent has been welcoming me to the office for the past weeks reinforcing my mood. Gatherings have also started and so has the Christmas shopping. It's really beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! 

In around 10 days, I'll be on my way back to Manila to celebrate the holidays with loved ones and I'm so excited to drown in Christmas cheer - the Filipino way. Christmas in the Philippines is a real big deal, we celebrate once the -ber months hit and don't stop til the Feast of the 3 kings (or til after the first week of the new year, haha). My Singaporean friends find it unreal that the last few days of the year are declared public holidays, but hey, we take the yuletide season very seriously and I personally believe that as ridiculous as it may seem to outsiders, there's nothing wrong with being granted a nationwide break to reconnect with things that really matter - family, friends, God, and even yourself. :)
