Well, we're very, very excited and happy at home (well, happy sort of, I guess 'cause there's still some problems but we'll work them out for sure somehow). For one thing, Christmas is sooo around the corner. I know because I just woke up early this morning to help mom shop for some stuff for noche buena later.

If you guys look it up at wikipedia, noche buena is actually a Spanish word (we got a lot of words and traditions from the Spaniards, this being one of them) but I don't really know what it really means for the Spaniards but for us Filipinos, it refers to the traditional dinner (yummyyy!) eaten during Christmas eve with the whole family.

Second, on my way home with mama from shopping, we found this small kitten outside our subdivision's gates and somewhat in front of McDonald's. I immediately scooped him (he's so tiny!) and quickly looked up to the people who were around to see if anyone owned him but no one objected!

I took him home, with mom's surprising consent of course (surprising because she doesn't really want us to have more pets to care for at home) and decided to give him as a gift to my brother for Christmas since I really didn't have any for him.
