It didn’t happen this year…
It didn’t snow on Christmas day…

Last year was nice, we had a white Christmas. But this season, Christmas day is all gray and gloomy. The streets are wet, freezing-cold rain never stopped. Yuck! It’s horrible out there!

I’m not really hoping to have snow everyday this entire winter season, because I really hate the cold weather. But a day of snow during Christmas would have been nice. Just one day, is enough for me. Those light and fluffy snowflakes always leave a smile on my face.

I remember, the first time I came here in Louisville there were snow on the ground. I was like a kid again. I was excited and curious on how it feels. Well, it feels like shaved ice…that’s it! A few days of snow was alright for me, but the entire winter season was too much. Too much, that I became homesick and was yearning for that hot and humid Manila weather.

But now, I think I’m used to it…well I have to. We have weird climate changes here in Kentucky or here in Louisville for that matter. It’s really weird, you have to experience it.

My Christmas day was not all that bad. For a part of it, I had a great time. I was very happy that I got to see and chat with my family in Manila and in Texas through YM video conference. I had a great time.

I really don’t know what to write today. It’s been a month since I have written a blog and I feel like that i’ve been neglecting it! Cough, cough! dust and cobwebs everywhere!…ok, ok, enough of that sillyness.

I’ve been really so tired and kinna lazy lately, not just because of my busy schedules at work, but I think this freezing cold weather is affecting me! I’m just glad that I already put up the holiday trimmings before I turned into a complete dormant.

I really don’t like cold weather…and I mean freezing cold weather. It’s like my body freezes up with it! It started snowing yesterday, it was a tremenduous snowfall, with huge snowflakes….it was windy too, and that wind factor really kicked up a notch! I was glad that it didn’t snow all day. I thought yesterday was gonna be all gray and gloomy, but Mr. Sun showed up with blue skies…it was nice.

Fall season just went by, I didn’t even feel it’s presence for a long period of time…it just flew by! And a few weeks from now, winter is here…bummer.

But I’m prepared…at least I think so. I bought a throw yesterday…well two throws, one for me and one for Kit. We will use them to ‘cocoon’ ourselves, hehe. Throws are not popular in the Philippines…of course, but here, it’s a must…at least as an alternative effect for that ‘needed’ additional comfort.

I’m also busy shopping for a really good winter outerwear. I really need to get rid of my old one that I bought last year. The feathers are ’stabbing’ me! It’s a goose down coat. I’m constantly reminding myself not to get a goose-down coat again even though there are so many good ones out there, I guess I was badly traumatized by the ’stabbing’ feeling everytime i wear mine.LOL. Of course that is just an exaggeration.

It’s actually my fault, I only bought that coat because of it’s ‘cuteness’, and forgot to think about the material. The ends of the feathers keep on poking out from the fleece and those sharp ends are no-laughing matter…they hurt! It’s not a good brand anyway. Kit gave me some ideas of good brands out there, they are what I call, the ‘outerwear authority’. But my gosh! they’re so expensive! Especially North Face….L.L. bean and Columbia are not that bad, but I think for the meantime I’m sticking to Lands’ End, hehe. It’s wram, waterproof, windproof and most of all, hundreds less than others charge! hehe.
