pandanggo

So I was tasked to take out the trash tonight. I went upstairs to collect the goods and was startled by the amount of what I was going to throw out.

Three trash bins were filled mostly with strips of gift wrapping paper of different designs and colors. I peered into two of the rooms in our house to see (to no surprise) mounds of presents waiting to be shipped out come the 25th.

It's only five days to go 'til Christmas and still, I haven't had the time to get anyone any presents. Well, I already have a present for my little sister but I wasn't the one who bought it. Just asked someone to (Thank you! You know who you are...). It's just like last year. No time and money to get everyone decent presents, let alone nice ones. I still remember telling people a year ago, "Next year na lang!" with a smile.

I am now faced with a dilemma. Should I give presents to everybody this year, but get them not-so-nice ones because of my tight budget? Or should I give presents to those people I truly want to give presents to, and give them kick-ass gifts in doing so?

I decided to think that over during my sleep tonight.

So now I was taking out the trash I was tasked to throw out. Going downstairs with a plastic bag full of crap on each hand, I danced the Pandanggo sa Basura.
