Someday At Christmas

I thought I could have a very merry Christmas with special someone this year.

It was so close but it didn't happen. I can't blame since he wanted to be a dickhead and gone MIA.

Moving along - you wouldn't believe me that I don't have any plan for this Christmas right? Well, it's true and I don't even have a plan for the eve.

And for once, I'm not emo over it. Surprise right?

Even myself is also surpised that I'm not sad, I'm not emo nor I'm desperate to have someone special for this Christmas. I could foresee that it will be a lonely Christmas but I will be doing just fine for sure. I won't die just because I'm celebrating Christmas alone.

If you know me well, you know that Christmas is like a huge celebration for me since I hold it so dear to my heart. Since it was (and still is) so meaningful to me, so I always want to celebrate the Christmas Eve with someone special as that very someone special will be equally important to me as well.

But then again, as I acknowledge that love will always be hard to come to me, so I have to deal with you. My anticipation for Christmas Eve dies off as my faith to find a lover dies off. The romance and the sentimental values of Christmas seem like very hard for me to grasp. It's okay, I guess, as long my close friends have a meaningful Christmas, I would be happy for them too.

Nah, don't pity me coz I'm not doing self-pity here. Come on, at least I had romantic Christmas Eve dinners with my exes.

Until today, I still cannot forget one particular person who celebrated Christmas Eve with me without any planing many years back. I still could recall the feeling of anticipation waiting for him at the gate. I never thought I could have that privilege to celebrate Christmas Eve with him. I was the happiest person walking on the Earth on that fateful Christmas Eve. We took so many pictures over the dinner.

 Sigh, if I could only turn back time. Come to think of it, I miss him the most at Christmas time. You know last week, I walked pass the restaurant we spent our Christmas Eve together. I guess after all these years, there are no one can compare with you for whom could bring me so much happiness in my life. The memories  I had with you are vividly emblazoning in my mind as Christmas comes ever year.

Okay don't talk about the past - move forward.

I'm not sure there's such thing called Christmas Miracle. If it does exists, please happen quick, like make it happens tomorrow!

Before I end my note, have yourself a very little Christmas and make this season bright.

Those Christmas Lights

I thought I could have someone special this coming Christmas.

It didn't happen.

Christmas used to be my favourite celebration with so much anticipation.

It's already December and sadly, it doesn't feel Christmas at all for me though everyone has started to sing Deck The Halls.

Maybe I've given up on Christmas. I feel like it doesn't belong to me. They say Christmas is meant to be jolly but for me, it's a plain disappointment, again and again.

There's no one to be blamed as biggest culprit for my disappointment is myself. I know it sounds desperate but I always have this wish every year that my Christmas Eve I could have someone special next to me.



Maybe I watched too much romantic movies - you know those movies in which the guy will finally appear in front of the girl on Christmas Eve and they lead a happily ever after. I guess I won't have that luck to have that kind of spectacular happy ending.

It's okay, I'm not self-pity here. I have disowned Christmas so it seems. On the brighter side, I won't be having that stress on how to celebrate my Christmas. I don't even have to fight for a table at a fancy restaurant with its remarkably marked-up price. Yay!

For time being, I'm that strong to say that I'm okay to celebrate Christmas alone or forgo this celebration but when Christmas comes, I know I would be deadly emo scrolling those Facebook updates.


It's good to feel that you're special for special someone on a very special. I don't have that luck this year. For those who have that luck, please cherish it. I had that very special someone before but he got someone else that who is more special than me.


My chandelier of hope have long gone diminished. I've stopped waiting long time ago. But if I have any luck or any fate, I hope those Christmas lights could light up the street and lead you back to me.  I miss you the most at Christmas time. And I miss that very Christmas Eve night in which you were mine...

Soon It Will Be Christmas Day

I believe you have watched Steve Harvey's Miss Universe announcement blunder. Damage is done and Ms. Philippines has been crowned as Miss Universe. Life goes on.

But come to think of it, instead of blaming Harvey, i believe he deserves some credits. Look, he took the blame, he took the responsibility and he apologized wholeheartedly. His embarrassment was already immeasurable unless there was a conspiracy behind. Apparently, the conspiracy theorists alleged whole thing was staged to boost the falling ratings of Miss Universe. If it were, they did a great job.

Okay, we paid too much attention to Steve Harvey, Miss Columbia and Miss Philippines. But there was someone who we might fail to notice; Miss Bulgaria. If you didn't notice, Miss Bulgaria was the one who encouraged Miss Philippines to go to centre stage and take the crown. See the picture below:

Yes, we need a Miss Bulgaria in our lives. In fact, I'm blessed that I have few 'Miss Bulgaria' in my life. You see, after I broke with my ex few months back, I entered in this ambiguous stage. I knew that the right thing I should do was to step out of it before going deeper. Thanks to my Miss Bulgaria who kept pushing me out from the deep hole. That's why I love them so much. 

And yay, I'm all enlightened now, it's all good now. You may call me silly but while I was walking to carpark from my client's office, it was a long walk and BJ Thomas's Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head kept playing in my head. Can you see the extensiveness of the enlightenment?! Come, all together now: 

The rain drops keep falling on my head. But it doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red. Crying's not for me coz I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining because I'm free...nothing's worrying me....

Yeah sounds so happy but later on I will be emo since I'm dateless on Christmas Eve. I guess I have to deal with it. 

Though Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are both equally important occasion for me but it's okay to be alone right? I guess there is no need to beg for a companion on Christmas Eve.

Actually, I kinda wish to celebrate with him, at least to have him as my company on Christmas Eve but nah, fate doesn't allow me to do so. It's okay. I believe I deserve better as I believe that myself is ain't that bad and I've been a good boy ever since I was born.

Meanwhile for Christmas Day, I know who I want to celebrate with. The person deserves nothing but my love. See you on Christmas Day.

Since it's Christmas Eve, as the rightful owner of this blog, I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas. Have a joyful one.

Let's end this entry with one of my favourite Christmas carol; Sleigh Ride. This is the Disney version, which I watched for the very first time at the tender age of three. My mom bought me a set of VHS of Disney Very Merry Christmas back then.


Look! Mickey Mouse is everywhere in the video, even Mickey Mouse Junior. Talking about Mickey Mouse....

All I Want For Christmas Is...

So I watched 'The Last Woman Standing' by Shu Qi and Eddie Peng couple days ago. Please don't watch it. It was a very boring show. I barely kept myself awake throughout the movie unless Eddie appeared in the scene.

But then again, Shu Qi in the movie was a lot like me - a stubborn one, especially in relationship.

Though her age was getting bit mature but she didn't bother much. She knew that she wouldn't be happy if she blindly hooked up with someone for the sake of marriage. Instead, she would choose what her heart chooses.

Just like me. My buds are rather bit concerned that I couldn't dust off the past and move on.

As if I didn't want to move on. You see, when you tasted the perfection and when the heart has chosen, it's very very hard to change my mindset.

I doubt I would see a glimpse of him for this Christmas. Maybe I should go against Christmas spirit this year and get a visit from Krampus. But then again, people say that all the good things will come to the good ending on Christmas. Let's see how it goes alright?

If you ask me what I want for Christmas this year, all I want for Christmas is him. I really do :(

Reebonz is the trusted online platform for buying and selling a wide range of luxury products.

Key festive colour trends include red, white, gold and silver, with black as a staple.

 

Red Alert

Red is timeless and appropriately festive, drawing the eye and making a statement be it in the boardroom or at a party. It is also very much a key Autumn/Winter 2015 colour trend.

Choosing a red bag or shoes is a fashion statement in itself as it does stand out in a sea of black or neutrals.

A red Salvatore Ferragamo Beky bag will see you through festive visits, and will transition seamlessly as a boardroom must have.

However based on your personality you can play up or tone down the red through the shade, size and height of your accessories for example a large scarlet tote compared to a sleek, slim burgundy red clutch; or maroon ballet flats versus crimson stilettoes.  

The Saint Laurent Classic Monogramme Clutch in New Red is a perfect style statement to sashay into dinner parties or elegant events. Pair it with Valentino Garavani Rockstud Ballerinas for an edgy and chic look this festive season.

Red accessories make thoughtful gifts for significant people in your life as it adds uniqueness to even a belt or wallet.

Go for Glamorous Gold

Unleash your inner diva with a touch of luxe gold accessories this festive season and observe as all others bow down before you.

While gold accessories may not always be workplace appropriate unless you are in creative fields or entertainment but you can make the gold handbag, flats or heels a party or weekend essential, to announce your fashionista cred from afar.

Bask in the limelight with a pair of glittering classic Salvatore Ferragamo Varina Flats. Layer on more gold with a metallic leather Alexander McQueen De Manta Clutch. Dress down with jeans and a white tee and barely there make-up, or let your accessories take center stage against a matte black ensemble and a bold red lip.

Select gold accessories for the flamboyant individuals in your life, they will wear it with flair. A pair of Chanel Pearl Drop Clip-On Earrings will make the special lady in your life – be it your mother, sister, wife, boss or BFF know just how much you treasure her.

White Out Whimsy

For the ultimate in high maintenance minimalism opt for white. In gloss, matte or with subtle shimmer it is for the Ice Queen who is ultra confident that stains are unable to penetrate her aura of invincibility.

Pair with a black outfit for high contrast, or be ethereal in white on white layers. Either option will make you a style maven that others envy.

Be an Ice Queen this winter with a lightweight and stylish Issey Miyake BaoBao Lucent Flap bag that is au courant.

Showcase your mastery of Winter Whites with either the Balenciaga Giant Gold Mini City with its vintage crafted lambskin leather body or the Chloe Small Emma Shoulder bag. As you strut in your white power suit or float by in diaphanous layering, you will be noticed.

Shimmer, Shine and Studs

The festive season and year-end parties are the time to indulge in shine and shimmer and edgy studs, especially for your night look.  Accessories with heavy hardware, sequins and high gloss and glitter finishes work best for people with big personalities and a strong sense of personal style.

Pair with dark leather to channel your inner biker, or be a pageant queen in head to toe sequins and shine. This look is not for the faint-hearted!

Among Reebonz’ picks are Versace Studded Medusa Wristlet Clutch for an added edge to your look.

For the diva in your life, present the Valentino Garavani Rockstud iPhone Case that will shine as bright!

Back To December

Hello December, we meet again.

I really like December for many reasons. December has always this indescribale sentimental feeling.

Sentimental feeling arises because it's the final month of the year.  If it was a good year, I would find it hard to let the year passed. If it wasn't, I couldn't wait the year to pass. In fact, 2015 isn't a good year for me, I could no longer wait for 2016 to come. A brand new year, a brand new beginning, as they say.

I guess the most valid reason for this sentimental feeling in December is because of Christmas. Yes, I like Christmas. It's so heartwarming to see Christmas trees along with evergreen Christmas carols to illustrate the joy of this festive season.

For me, Christmas is even more romantic than Valentine. It will be just perfect to spend the Christmas Eve with the one that you truly treasure and love.

Unfortunately, I broke up few months ago, so I don't have any special one to celebrate with. My bud always tease me that I shall celebrate alone by playing Eason Chan's Lonely Lonely Christmas.

Anyhow, I don't feel like celebrate it. Maybe I'm getting old and I come to realization that my life will be forever alone. And yes, forever alone for my Christmas, forever alone for my New Year and forever alone for my birthday. It's okay.

But since it's Christmas that we're talking about and we have to speak only the truth for Christmas, deep down in my heart, I have a wish for this Christmas. It's just a wish which I doubt will come true no matter how good boy I have been throughout this year. No need for me to ask because I know the answer will always be 'no'. Why should I drive myself for rejection over and over again right?

For what I know that my existence has long vanished in his life. Oh well, life goes on.

Since it's Christmas, let's play a Christmas song - Christmas should be joyful, alright!

"The greatest gift that there could be, wrapped underneath my Christmas tree. Would be the same, my whole life through. I'd spend the perfect Christmas with you. And though the winter seems so long, my faith in love has kept me strong. So if I had one wish come true, I'd spend the perfect Christmas with you".

A Holly Jolly Christmas

If ask Bart Simpson why Christmas is celebrated every 25th December - he will answer you this: 

"To celebrate the birth of Santa!"

His answer is rather funny but we could not blame him since Santa Clause does overshadow Jesus Christ during Christmas. Just look at shopping mall's festive decoration, Santa clause face is like everywhere. Even those evergreen Christmas carols are themed after Santa Clause. 

It will be awkward if Jesus is the main theme of  Christmas carols:

"I saw mommy kissing Jesus Christ"

"Jesus Christ is coming to town"

"Here comes Jesus Christ, here comes Jesus Christ right down Jesus Christ lane"

"Jesus baby, so hurry down to my chimney tonight"

Anyway, I won't be a honey bee to write sugar coated words but all I want to say, and since it's Christmas, I have to be honest, I'm thankful to have him in my life.

To my beloved friends and others, may your holiday season be blessed peace, love and joy.

P/S: Just a sneak peek of my Christmas Eve dinner moment ago - it was a simple candle lit dinner at home. Since our booking at some restaurant was cancelled last minute (that some restaurant is Halia at Sime Darby Convention) and we were very lazy to go all the hassle to find a dining place which would be still available for booking on Christmas Eve so we just bought some candles, a bottle of wine and Daves Deli roasted chicken for our 'meaningful Christmas Eve dinner.
