Danabelle in Leftover Shorts

Hey hey.

Look at me, updatin' and everything.

Forgive me if this becomes very long and very weird... In case you haven't noticed I haven't "shorted" in a while.

Yep. "Shorted". I'm thinking it'll catch on as a verb.

"Where's Dana? Has she shorted yet?"

"Hey D. Whatchudoin'? Are you shorting?"

Yep. Short. Shorting. Shorted.

Ang kulet.

We were supposed to have lunch at Planet Hollywood, but we decided to go to Biella instead.

Yummy Italian Goodness. Mmmm.

After lunch, we went to choir practice.

After choir practice, we went to see "Encore!". Gaaahhh... I still can't get over it. Hahaha. Para lang akong tanga naka-stare sa stage with a stupid smile on my face the whole time. Blahahaha. At some parts naiiyak-iyak pa ako. Blahahaha. What? Yeah, yeah... Oo na. Mababaw ako. LOL.

Saturday was another series of unfortunate events...

Woke up, dressed up, and drove over to MOE for tap.

Ended up getting there hella late, hence no class.

...BTW, the AC in the Paj just up and decided to not work that morning.

Tsk.

We were supposed to go to choir practice that afternoon, but there was no way we'd be travelling anywhere in that oven of a car. So we ended up going home instead.

Which turned out to be pretty great, because I got to put up the tree and some of the decor.

Front door.

Funny, our neighbor's kid started playing with the end tails. LOL. He's so cute.

Ano kaya ang color theme namin this year...

Hmmm...

Parang ang hirap isipin kung anong color theme no?

Gusto n'yo clue?

Oooh! This Christmas, old friends have come back.

Lil Frosties. BTW, the knitted Frostyguy at the back, was the first plush I bought for Christmas here in the UAE. :) It was back in 2004. Hihi. The guy's 4 years old. <3

BTW, them guys weren't here last Christmas, because our theme was hella blue. LOL.
