Last-Minute Christmas Shopping
I just hate last-minute Christmas shopping. It’s so stressful. A year ago, I made a terrible mistake of forgetting to buy a toy as a christmas present for one of my nephews. I thought my list was already complete (including my ever-growing-list of god children) so I was horrified when I realized that I had nothing for Mac-mac. His cousins would be receiving toy cars from me and it would be way too obvious that I wasn’t able to prepare something for him if I’ll just give him cash. Besides, giving money to a 4-year old boy is not exactly appropriate. His mom told me I’m going to make his son cry! Oh no! The last thing I would want to do on Christmas Eve is to break a little boy’s heart! So on the 19th of December, I braved the heavily trafficked streets of Manila and I endured the over-crowded mall of Robinson’s to buy a gift for my nephew. Problem with me is that I easily get impatient if the line in the counter is too long. Especially if I see that the person in front is fumbling for his money or if he’s undecided to purchase or not :( I wanted to sigh out loud. What’s wrong with these people? They perfectly know that everyone’s in a hurry and yet they act as if they are just walking in the park! Luckily, I was able to keep my cool 
told myself “hey it’s Christmas!” hehe. So this year, I’m saving myself from all the troubles. I made sure my list is REALLY complete and I even prepared some extra gifts. And also, I realized I should always keep my cool even if it’s not Christmas lol! Hope the same for all you guys
cheers!
