And it only means one thing; that Christmas is getting nearer. Non Filipinos must be thinking I am crazy but the moment 1st September comes, we Filipinos start to feel Christmas and start the countdown. Well I myself is getting excited and I am feeling that warm feeling in my heart (no matter how mushy it may seem) at just the thought of Christmas. I love Christmas season, I love it more than I love my birthday.

I can already hear the Christmas carols in my head and I hope I’m not just crazy. Well I listen to Christmas songs the whole year. It gives me comfort just listening to these songs. How I wish it is Christmas season all year round but then I’m sure we will not appreciate it as well if it’s always here. So just savor the moment when it’s getting nearer, like now.

I guess it’s pretty early to start sending and receiving holiday invitations but we have already received some. Nice feeling that there are people who want to share the holidays with you.

Three hours ago as I was walking out of MRT, I headed to Ion Orchard Mall. Went to the second floor and who did I recognize there?  Jinkee Pacquiao! NOT! She turned out to be her twin sister haha. Oh and her sister is really nice too. She told me nicely that she’s not Jinkee and that Jinkee is inside the store (Bebe). I’ve always known that she has a twin sister but I somehow forget the twins sister’s name. (I googled it once I hit home and her name is Janet Jamora.) So I went my way and left as I was shy with all of them. I’ve always known I can’ty be a paparazzi hehehe….

So I was still roaming inside Ion Mall and after like 30 minutes I heard some loud voices. I automatically looked at where the noise was coming from and it was their group again. The sisters were heading in Yves St. Laurent if I remember it correctly. Then the entourage of men came after them with sooo many shopping bags. They used a cart for some of the bags. For ordinary folks like us, that number of shopping bags must be Christmas gifts, she must giving them as presents. But then Jinkee is not like us normal folks no matter how simple she seems to be. I talked to them as they seem nice and told them the sisters headed to YSL with the beautiful wreaths in the door as they were left behind. The group has nice PR I can say.

After I’m done with my appointment in Wheelock, around 2-3 hours had passed then I headed to Wendy’s and to my surprise someone was staring at me there and I realized it was Jinkee Pacquiao. So I smiled at her and told her that a while ago, I bumped into their group in Bebe and how I mistaken her twin sister to be her. She was nice enough to engage in a conversation and she pointed at her twin who was in Orange Julius. She asked me some questions about me too. And her other sister is really nice, she seem so warm to me. Then I said too bad I didn’t bring my camera then, the sister even suggested to use my celfone. Bummer.

It’s really nice to know that some people are not changed by money drastically, that they still have a hold of humility in them, to even talk to simple folks like me. Who am I anyway? A regular poor girl in her 20′s, while she herself is almost like a celebrity with her being married to the best boxer of this generation… And unbelievably rich too. Wow.

Yes we are moving again. The third move in two weeks. Hate it. All these trouble are because of people who are suckers for money but only want to have it by fooling people.

I’m waiting for Bee to come home from work and we’ll do the moving again. It’s so hard when you have a lot of things. The good thing is that we are moving somewhere that is closer to work. Just a few MRT stations away. It doesn’t have modern furniture but as long as the landlord is a decent man who keeps his words then we are ok with it. It is unbelievable how hard it is to find someone decent right now.

So good luck to us!

P.S. We are moving to a flat which is only a few minutes walk to MRT, like 5-6 minutes walk only and the best char kway teow (for us with foreign taste buds) is within walking distance! That is the kway teow taste Filipinos love, right Greta dear?
