7th Christmas away from home.

One of the many Christmas street lights here in Barcelona. Taken by Ate Bb with her Nikon D5100.

How time flies so fast! It seems like it was only few months ago when I wrote 6th Christmas away from home. And suddenly, it´s another Christmas away from home again!

It´s sad being far from my family during Christmas, but despite that, I am also happy coz my family are doing great back home and I know that despite the distance, we are still as close as ever and we will always be a one, big, happy family!

This Christmas is a bit sadder than the past Christmases coz I am away from my family, my Ate roommates are not complete coz Ate Ruma is in Pinas for vacation (I am happy for her), Ate Wil will be home in the afternoon of the 25th (so it´s only Ate Bb and the 3 other boardmates - Ate Jan, Lulugirl & Liana) and my dearest is not here, as well.:( But despite it all, the celebration must go on coz Christmas is not about me, but it´s all about Jesus´ birthday. It´s what we are celebrating on the 25th and hope that we didn´t forget the real meaning of Christmas. It´s HIM, the real STAR ng  Pasko.:)

And as always, no other country can beat the Filipino Christmas. Paskong Pinoy is truly the best!


Have a Merry Christmas everyone! Let´s let love, peace, kindness, forgiveness and joy reign this Yuletide season.
