Lanterns

helo torian!

i had an early christmas present for myself.

i bought a set of headphones from gilmore. costed me more than 300 bucks... quite costly for a device dedicated to music only, but it think it's cool, coz i bought the big ones, the really big ones that cover your earlobes for 300+ when i can only get something like that for 1000+ from the mall.

im going nuts with the headphones. they're big unlike my other teeny-tiny one... and the sound is better, maybe because my ears are completely covered by the heads so i can't hear much of the goings on outside... hah!

i actually shot photos of myself... i can be a bit manic sometimes. when im excited... haha!

haha! really funny, that!

awright! it's working well!

hmmm... i took my braces off, and got done with my retainers before i developed that dimple... abnormal.

hey. it's christmas season. well technically it's advent, and i can feel the chill in the air. i was walking a while ago in katips, and i saw the trees in ateneo in full splendor once again. i was walking from national bookstore, i looked to my left. it was raining, but the beautiful lights cannot be ignored. on the other side of the avenue shone lanterns of turqoise and gold... another one of ateneo's artful-classy-ambience-inducing-antics. i never took that against them. i remember last year, ateneo was also an eye candy. last year, thousands of gold and silver light bulbs luminated the atenean arbolade.

i hope UP becomes that too. but then UP is secular. Christmas in UP is a case under study, not a holiday, not a national event. Christmas ranks alongside Yom Kippur, the Ramadan, and Thanksgiving... Christmas in UP is but a detail of theology.

hmmm... but no one can deny the cheer when bells start caroling and when Christmas songs start playing in the air. aaaahhhhh...

Joyeux Noel!!

Still loveless. another white christmas (make it gray... coz rain is gray...)
