shopping note

shopping for christmas is a test of patience, stamina, and haggling savvy.

but i guess that's common knowledge already.

after how many christmases i've spent shopping for gifts, i can't seem to get used to it. the long queues. they're horrible. i hate them! i just want to think that the effort i put in trying to acquire these gifts makes them a bit more special for me. so kahit maliit na halaga, nadadagdagan ng value dahil pinaghirapan kong hanapin at bilhin.

haha, rationalizations. one of my favorite defense mechanisms.

merry christmas world!
