Holidays @ Dubai

End of the year holidays are the most awaited part of the year for me. It's the season to be jolly they say, but what if I have to spend it away from the place and people I used to spend it with? At first I was afraid, I was petrified :) never imagined how to go through with it without my family. But as I always say, I have to grow up and mature. Sooner or later I still have to face this so better go for it while I can. Moving away from home was hard enough, spending the Holidays away from my family was more difficult. And yet, I still went though it with a smile on my face and in my heart. My foster family here in Dubai played a great part in helping me cope with my melancholic moments. And of course, I have Baki who always find ways to make everything easier for me here.

It's a good thing that I found a fine place to stay here with nice people. The Christmas party was great, the New Year's party was equally good. It almost felt like I was back home. The little Christmas tree was there, the games & prizes, exchange of gifts, the yummy food, the ever famous videoke, and of course the happy faces that made both parties complete.

It's not so bad after all. Though I still miss my folks in Davao, I'm still glad to know that they also had a great time spending the holidays there like we used to. For this year's Christmas, I hope I'll be able to join them again. Still have to wait longer, but at least I have something to look forward to.
