It’s that time of the year—food, gifts, and lanterns. Some of the best Christmas holidays I’ve had were during my years in the university. This year is not an exception. From the huge help I’ve been getting for my thesis to the happy moments I’ve shared with my friends, this December couldn’t get any better.

Say hello to my shock absorbers, clowns, and sisters. I love these girls to bits. Thanks for making everyday in school special. Special thanks to Vistal for the truffles, Isa for the hipster girl necklace, and Ruth for the bracelet.

I also attended the UP Manila lantern parade for the first time!

Before heading to Diliman, I met my shiftee friends for our year-ender lunch. We were expecting twelve people but only seven made it. Later in the afternoon, I caught up with Rich and Lance in Diliman to witness the lantern parade.

It’s only half past December but the amount of happiness I’m getting is already overwhelming. I’m praying for the positive vibes to rub on 2012 as well. Happy holidays and God bless everyone!
