I am home for Christmas... Happy X'mas All!

I got sick since three days ago. I wasn't hospitalized or anything bad, I didn't even go to the doctor since I thought I can get recovered soon after I had enough sleep. Tho' I wasn't completely wrong as I'm still feeling dizzy even when I attended my Christmas' eve mass in my parish but at least I still can go to church with my parents. My last Christmas' eve mass in this parish was like five or six years ago, most of the times I was in Singapore and last year we were all together in Shanghai. I was actually thinking of celebrating Christmas in Bandung with my friends and colleagues but it seemed God had another plan. Hehehehe. I have to be at home.

Christmas is always a wonderful time for my family... it is the time of the year when we all gather together and have some fun. We use to have vacation every Christmas, and maybe this year is the very first Christmas when we just go to church and stay at home. It wasn't because I'm sick or not feeling well but my mother still has to work the next day - she can't get day off this X'mas, and also my brother is running his newly-built restaurant in Puncak this holiday season. So this year is a bit different. The most important thing Christmas is the time for us to be in the comfort of our own home and grateful for what God has given us.

I might be feeling unwell but I do enjoy myself this Christmas holiday... I love this staying home Christmas... I love watching my mother preparing cookies in the jar... I love the way my father cleaning-up the house to welcome the coming of baby Jesus... I love listening to Christmas songs from our sound system... I love having my family around... I love every precious moments with them... and of course I love sending and receiving Christmas greeting text from my new Bold... *big grin*...



Thanks for this wonderful gift, God... I know You've been sending me amazing gifts not only on Christmas time but also every time of the year... Ever since I got back from Singapore, all I can see is Your super-incredible love to me... Thanks for this Christmas... Thanks for sending me home this time of the year...


♪♪♪ I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the lovelight gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams ♪♪♪


I am now at home...

Dining together in a big table with my family, sleeping in my very own bed with the hotel-like sheet and duvet, reading and relaxing in the most comfortable couch, counting the fish in the koi pond, laughing out loud with my parents, chatting all night long with my brother...

There is no place like home...

Thank God for my family who makes a home is truly a home.

It's all in the family.


"Have a joyful Christmas, everybody! Let us welcome our new life as we welcome
the coming of baby Jesus in the manger. God bless..."
