Hi! guys! Yesterday I take a day off. I went on shopping..I bought all the things that I like to give this christmas. I just notice that price just rocketed..I almost over my budget 200% even the gift wrapper cost almost 25% of the value of some of my gifts.. Lolz..But, That's Christmas a time of sharing... So how about you? are you done shopping? .............. ............. Just reminiscing Its so fast..Almost I didn't notice its already another year pass.. I can't imagine..That Ten years ago I'm still in college doing crazy things..Now..I got fatty liver, heart problem, etc.. Lives moves so fast in a big city.. When I living in country side..A weeks is seems month and months seem years..But in the city..years pass like months..

Haha but beeing unemployed i try save a little on some aspects. And the wrapping is not the most important of the present, but what is inside, even though if it is personally crafted or costed a fortune...

Maybe but maybe not..its not what is worth of gift that you give but the thought of giving.. Me..May budget per person is only 30 to 40 pesos..I just spend whole day in Divisoria looking for the best buy..Me..I don't have much either..I just borrowed some money and make some best out of it..For me its more important to give gifts to show may affection..Is it nice to receive a gift..and open it..its a great feelings..Just buy something that remind you with that person without spending much..I sometimes buy as low as 10 pesos..

hahahaha I don't have penny to spend, not a single peso. I've been a prisoner of my own house for weeks now. I just ask money from my mom if i have important things to follow up. If ever she let me borrow P500, half of it will spend to cab. Well, I'm planning to paint and give it to them but still waiting for my momentum.

I went christmas shopping today, and I managed to buy most of the presents. At first I went to a big mall, it was very crowded because the weather was cold and rainy and many people prefer to stay inside when the weather is like that. After that I wanted to visit some shops that there weren't a part of the mall, so I went to the pedestrian area in my town. There are many shops there, and they were less crowded which was nice. I also went to a big IKEA shop in the same town. It is new and I hadn't been there before. I managed to find some nice presents for my friends in there, so I was happy. I went back to the mall to buy one more present, and that was it for today. Now I only need to find some presents for my grandmothers, I might make them myself, because they always appreciate that, but I don't know yet.
