K lives in Hong Kong, who loves music, homes & architectures, movie trailers and all things . My life in this city project a lot of things - it's all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls. more »
Christmas trees are like snow forts or sand castles or art projects: the fun part, the worthwhile part, the creative part, is the process of getting the tree and decorating it. The finished product is not what matters.
I’m a minimal Christmas tree. I am not a total Scrooge, but I feel there’s no need to go overboard at Christmas. Less is more, and my Christmas reflects refined quality.

Surprisingly, the nice people from RBJ community LOVES me. Is this for realz? How charming!
But you know, I doubt it – it probably caused by my recent blog “maintenance”. I must have hit a magic link somewhere in my css file and made myself the instant top [...]

Before the end of the year, I’m going to try something new: I’m saving all my loose change in a jar so that by the end of every year, I can buy a small gift for my nephews. It’s not hard to do this really. Since the change will [...]
my XMAS tree sits right beside my TV all year round. 2 years na yata yun dun. Hahaha. It’s so cute. 1 foot lang. Hindi mahirap i-setup. Very low maintenance pa. LOL

Very ingenious Christmas three, congratulations.
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself. It is not a fashion, it is just a way to be.
No, no Ate Beng kids will not appreciate this as they still love Xmas tree with full of candies, boxes of gifts and flickering lights. I’ve seen a real tree and I actually love the “aroma” of it. Do you usually put a real tree ba?
Malen, in the prabins, during my childhood I remembered gumagawa kami ng Xmas tree na dinidikit lang sa dingding. We make soap hard bubbles as oppose to as “fake snows” tapos we splat them on the walls and form a tree. Eh mainit sa Pinas, so bago dumating and Xmas, unti unti silang natutunaw.
Belle, pasencia. When I’m bored, I’d sing just to pass the time. Honestly the community online karaoke is not just for the shower anymore – you can record and publish it online and sing like everyon’e watching.
Exactly. It has always been a favourite time of the year for everyone. And to some, it’s a time where we pretend that our good behavior for the day will carry over to the rest of the year. Good food, presents, Hallmark, no school- altogether, parties…. and oh new shoes. And I don’t think that anybody should be alone on Xmas.
Isay, so happy to see you “blogging” again. I moved but I continue blogging. Advance happy bday to you, malapit na. Remember, it was during your bday when we first met dun sa Tin Hau Tower mansion nyo. Sabay sabay kayong nag “blow” nina Soy ng….
Ambo, my CD is for charity – so bahala ka na how much you can spare.
I think I have set the posting date via american time kaya hindi pa lumabas sa commentluv, GMT +8 tayo so baka yun ang score. Nax, pero di ko alam, baka nag-crashed ang plugin kasi naging popular.
Ris, hahaha no obligation there, say or comment when you feel like. Mag katabi lang ng ilang oras ang country of origin natin – so you can save them next time.
I love books; this is an ideal Christmas tree for me. I do put up a Christmas tree every year and this year I decided for a live tree, everything just so depressing around me and I thought this might cheer me up a bit. I like you new Christmassy looks.

Sha, I can sing mostly anything (haneps) – if only I have a microphone as nice as Thess’, I’ll sing with “all that jazz”.
