First of all my dear flist...
Merry Christmas...I hope you all have a very nice day surrounded by all your family and your loved ones...
Sorry I've been really absent lately. I've been doing a lot. This week was crazy, I had to go Christmas shopping on my breaks, in the mornings, when I got out of the work, at every second I had to go around looking for the perfect gifts for my family and friends. My mom's present was really easy, just like my BFF's... but then came Pancho's, my dad's, my brother's and my sister's gifts. I spent all week looking in the mall where I work, but nothing was pretty enough, then I had to go with my sister to a little market in the lower part of the city. Not cool, we had to do a lot of walking to get there and we were really afraid because we could get mugged, but it was really good, prices were amazing and we found really good stuff. I bought my dad's and Pancho's present (a couple of shirts), I bough for me a couple of pearl earings (purple and teal, and some golden pearls for my mom), I got 2 pairs of bras for me (for an amazing price, really! *lol*), I found cute pink
finger socks for my sister, so comfortable! and a golden belt for my mom. At the end, we wanted to go back to get a bunch of stuff (once I get my next paycheck I'll go there!). My brother's present was easy, my sister bought him a very expensive shrit and I asked her to divide the price with me, because she needed the money to buy my mom's present. My sister's present was the hardest to find first because there was nothing pretty and second because I had no money left and I had to borrow from my brother, I ended up buying her a silly shirt from the store I work and a portrair with a bunch of cute pictures of us and Toby (her dog).
My mom gave us a really amazing perfume, mine is Ralph Lauren for women and it's so good. They also gave us money *lol* I can't wait to spend it. My dear boyfriend couldn't wait until the store gave me the discount and he bought me my
adorable sweater and an adorable purple rose (
me and my sweater - please ignore the bad hair and the sleeping face). One of my friends gave me this beautiful shirt and my sister gave me an adorable sleeping pant from Tennis. Pancho's mom gave me a pearl/gold charm that goes with the pearl/gold earings she gave me for my birthday (so cute!!).
Today we had a lot of fun, I didn't do much. I went to work at 12:30pm, I tried to find a present during all my break for nothing, we got to the sells goal of the store, meaning we're getting a money bonus!! *wohoo* and the boss of all the bosses sent us wine and a christmas bread (it's amazing, filled with jam, olives, bacon and raises) to celebrate such a great job, we had fun, today everything was more enjoyable than usual, everyone was happy. My dad picked us up from work and I came home, my dad and mom exchanged presents (my mom got a cute face care set from Clinique and my dad got a CD reproductor for his car, since his got stolen). We all got dressed up and went to my grandma's house with all our family, after a while I went with my dad to my other grandma's house to say hi and stayed a while there. After all that, I'm here, nothing really exciting, but I missed my family.
Ohhh and we got an amazing news today, an uncle of Pancho was
released from prison today. He's not guilty of anything, he's one of the whole bunch of political prisoners in my country, whose liberty was stolen just because he tried to explain an accident that happened on a militar facility (The goverment didn't wanted the people to know what happened there and they inprisoned him). His daughter is a really good friend of mine, today Pancho sent me a text message and I actually cried of happiness, he has 3 years and a half there. Do you imagine what it is to be in prison for nothing?? and that long?? He missed his only child's graduation!! it's just hateful... But i'm so releived that his out, I can't imagine Cheche's happiness right now. I'm so happy for them.
You're presents are comming tomorrow, sorry, but I'm still working on them...
I'm off to bed, it's really late here and I need to sleep, I'm not actually reading this... *lol*
