AYYYYY YOOOO READERSSSS!
It has been a gazillion years since i've blogged...various reasons why i have stopped HAHAH Well now i'm glad to be back, as we have the 6 weeks holidays!!! Trying to soak this madass feeling of holidays as much as possible, as HSC is around the corner for me soon...*shivers* lets not talk about it yet.
Today's post shall be extra extra long LOLLOL
Its Christmas today!!! :D Hopefully everyone is enjoying their day with all their beloved ones, with this awesome time of giving and recieving <3 :D I'm currently jamming to one of the most coolest Christmas medleys ever that reminds everyone about the true meaning of Christmas! :D I strongly recommend listening to "The Reason for The Season" by Aj Rafael & Nessa Rica!! Love their voices <3
Although my family don't celebrate it, i definitely still feel the heartwarming spirit of this holiday season as I feel very blessed to be snuggled up, safe and sound inside my home in this coool and stormy weather HAHA I actually like this year's christmas, how its so cool with the calming and soothing rain... the last few christmases were always so scorching hot LOL
In this blog, I'll rant about the what I gave for Christmas + the wonderful gifts I got for my 17th birthday and Christmas :) and no.. i'm not doing this to brag and show off about how awesome and rich I am..which is true HAHAH kidding.
I'm just feeling really blessed and thankful about all the greeat friends in my life, who have put effort & thought into these gifts for me..This blog post is a form of showing my appreciation ^_^
What I gave this year for Christmas:
- Christmas Shoebox Project - Samaritans Purse: Many children ages 2-14 play with sticks/stones, and don't have access to the basic needs we are blessed with such as water, a home ...let alone anything to play with like toys or fancy clothing. My youth group participated in this project conducted by Samaritans Purse where we would buy and collect gifts (such as toys, hair accessories, soap, shampoo, stationery, toothbrushes, etc) put them in a shoe box and deliver them to third world children as so they can have something this Christmas as well :) With the particpation of not only my youth group & I, but my few of my awesome friends outside...WE WERE ABLE TO FILL UP TO 170 BOXES!!! The feeling of being able to change and give hope to 170 little kids suffering in poverty during Christmas, miles and miles away.... was an indescribable and wonderful feeling that couldn't be comprehended <3 Happiness is definitely only real when it is shared :) Something i hope the children over there will realise once opening these gifts <3
- Christmas cards: Like every other year, I usually give Christmas cards..People always wonder why am i so bothered to type them up...WHY NOT?? LOLOL One of the main things I strongly believe is that we should always appreciate our beloved ones and the ones who are always by our side....we should never take anything for granted, as Life is unexpecting! Anything can happen any time. However, this year is most likely my last year to have the ability to give cards out, so i tried really hard to show my gratitude and appreciation towards the one in my life this year :)
Seeing most of my recipients - from friends, teachers, trainers, etc smiling and becoming happy from my written cards made me obtain a sense of awesome happiness how a message can definitely change someone's day :) It was a really good feeling heheheeh ^^
- SYC ticket for Manita: I had Manita for Kris Kringle this year..and I decided to get her a free ticket to SYC because she always wanted to go but were held back by various reasons. I feel like this is a huge valuable gift rather than other materialistic things, because its something intangible - where you can learn, grow, aspire, challenge yourself and create heaps of memories. + its her last year to be able to go, SO WHY NOT :) The price doesnt matter to me and i hope she realises that ^^
- Presents for my family: I always felt really guilty and horrible as I feel like i never give back enough to my family..since they love me so much unconditionally! Although these things i bought for them wouldnt make up for everything they have to put up raising me, it still shows my love and gratitude towards them. Always honour your family people ^^
It was so funny ,giving my Grandma the brooch.. She kept nagging me to tell her how much it was...so she can show it off to her friends on how expensive it is.. LOLOL
Things I've recieved =') :
My first gift was from Phil -
A cute doll keychain thing and Victoria Secret Amber Romance Body Mist
HAHAH Funny story though, because the Amber Romance was mine, which i gave away for our church's Garage Sale to fundraise for compassion. Since Phil was an awesome friend and came to the Garage Sale, i kept trying to convince him to buy it with my persuasive techniques on saying how awesome it smells... and then he bought it for my birthday, since he thought I;d really like it...ngaw nevertheless I love his intentions and thoughts <3 Hopefully he isnt resenting himself from this lil accident LOLOL 
Peter Alexander Panties/Underwear from Jenny Ma
HAHAHA hilarious but sweet gift! The underwear are really cute, it was really awkward opening the box though cos i was in the library holding up them panties and people were walking pass LOLLOL Love it and cant wait to wear em ;) ROFL

From my beloved Grandma :)
This year, she got me this really pretty rainbow type of gold bracelet :) I love how it can match with and brighten with almost any outfit! She also bought one for herself, but with all green stones on it rather than rainbow LOL ^^
These next following gifts are from my Secret Santa(s) for Kris Kringle. There was an accident this year, as my name was put twice in the draw thus resulting in me to have two gifts from two people D: I feel bad for Katie >< But i hope she can recieve an awesome gift soon too..
From April :)
April was so observant with what i wanted which is really really caring and noice of her! She got me dream catchers, as she remember hearing me wanting them & also Scallop shorts, which was something i wanted for a while too LOL I love dream catchers and the whimsical concept of them ^^ Since she bought me 3, i put one in my room, the other in my grandpa's and the last one in my grandmas X) We will now all have good night sleeps HEHEHE
The scallop shorts are also so cuteee and so comfayy to wear <3 love her colour choice as it matches with many things!
Oh yeah, she also got me a sportsbra which was so awesome of her, since i said i needed more workout gear! Saddeningly, the sportsbra doesnt fit me and she doesnt have the receipt anymore D: I really hope it wasnt too expensive. But we agreed to give it to Tammy, since the size fits her perfectly LOL The sportsbra felt so comfortable under my fingertips, sad how i couldnt wear it ><
From Scott :)
He perhaps saw my tweet on how all my jeans are too loose for me and got me these pretty jeans from ASOS =D Its so cool because it fully fits me perfectly and snuggly!! The colour is also really pretty too <3
The next batch of gifts are from a whole group of 17 awesome friends that were willing to chip in! The whole thing was planned, gathered and bought by Tammy Tequila <3 She also gave me beautifully hand made and well drawn Birthday & Christmas cards..:')
I recieved all of these gifts yesterday and I'M REALLY REALLY THANKFUL!! Never had such a madass Christmas Eve in my life like this year!! LLOLOL Felt so special !!
Not gonna post a picture of her personal Christmas card to me on here incase she kills me AHAH But i love this part of her card, where she drew Santa mocking my famous sneeze LOLOL
All the gifts were wrapped in parcels and put in a hugeass Victoria Secret Bag ! She put it in my closet...as I came out of the shower, she said " Linda, i messed up your closet"
....I was so furious because I spent the whole afternoon cleaning up my closet, so i stormed to my closet and opened it seeing the HUGE BAG in the middle ...and i was crazyyyyyyyyyyy excited yet happy yet shocked yet everything LOL I was really outta words cause all the gifts were so so wonderful <3
3 cute summer dresses!
All of them fit perfectly and comfortably!
I love the yellow dress with a button up and collared look, along with cute bow pockets and bow belt <3
The Green dress is so so flattering to my body type as it synches in the right places ^_^ I really like the turquoise and uh ..the two flaps? LOLOL

The Stripy dress is so really cute and stretchhy, uber comfy to wear <3

Anyways, I am really thankful for being so blessed and privileged this Christmas for everything that I have. Sometimes, the more we give...the more we recieve in return :)
"Happiness is like a boomerang, once you throw it out there..it does come back to you"
And rather than being negative about what we dont have..we should count and appreciate all the things we do have :D
Counting your blessings and Living in Gratitude will never fail to change your day around :D
Once again, Meerry Christmas everyone!!
