Good things come to those who wait

in E, happy thoughts
It has been a happy Christmas this 2011. I was able to spend time with people I love and I was pleasantly surprised to have received gifts at all! As I mentioned before, E and I exchanged gifts early and I didn’t expect he’d give me the watch I wanted. It’s incredibly sweet because he remembered that I liked it (I mentioned it only once months ago when we first saw it). Then friends and people from the office gave me gifts even though I don’t spend as much time there anymore. It’s so amazing to even be included in their list of recipients.
Plus, the gifts I received this year are amazing! I received stuff I’ve been thinking about buying but put off because of one reason or another. That’s why I’m doubly amused that I got them anyway. I now have the bag hook I’ve been looking for since last year (!) nice earphones, and cute robot mini speakers. Yay!
I keep all the Christmas tags. 
I’ve also spent Christmas evening with Eric at their home. We just had dinner and watched a movie, but the mere fact that we were together on Christmas was enough for me. I’m thankful that I get to spend time with him during special occasions such as this one. Then the following morning, we had brunch at (the newly-opened) Army Navy along Katipunan. We were the first customers and the speakers were blasting off Christmas renditions from She & Him.
E says hello.
Just the combination of being with one of your favorite people, eating your favorite food, and hearing good music from a great band was enough to make me happy. It trumps everything negative I’ve felt prior Christmas. I realized no one could ruin a good day for me if I have my friends and loved ones to always put a smile back on my face. You just have to be patient—because good things come to those who wait.
So, happy Christmas to everyone who made mine wonderful—family, friends, and E.
