Anticipating
Christmas! Especially the eating part. But not looking forward to getting grilled by my aunts about the boyfriend status, or in my case the-lack-of-boyfriend status. Tita (aunt) Baby, who is basically the matron queen of our family in America, has been really meddlesome lately. I guess she misses being a daily part of our lives. She and her husband just moved from their seaside home in Rhode Island to an apartment in Queens, so we're seeing a lot of her now. I miss those Labor Day weekend barbecues by the beach already.


Craving
An amaretto sour. Seriously. Something tells me that I'm going to end up being the family bartender for Christmas. Damn those margaritas I made during Thanksgiving. Now everyone's going to want cocktails! But it's all good, 'coz family members, i.e. Tito (Uncle) Jhun, are quite generous in drunken states.

"Can I have a $100?"

"Suuuure! Pass me that Corona."

"Ok. -=o)"

J/k. But my uncle is actually very very giving. He keeps a stash of singles under the couch for the little kids to grab when they come to visit. I know you're all jealous.

A Rutgers Fat Cat, which I ocassionally had for lunch before my art history and english lit classes.

Missing
College. I wish I didn't graduate yet.

D. Haven't chilled with him for quite some time.

Thailand and all the friends I made there. Hopefully in January, I'll get to see the girls. Tanvi and I are planning a Bollywood/Henna reunion night! There's supposedly a popular new hottie, Hrithik Roshan. Well, not new, he's been in the biz for a while. I just haven't known because I haven't been keeping up with my Bollywood obsession.

Eating
Half a grapefruit. Preparing for the Holiday 5.

Dreading
The post-Christmas bills. I have the tendency to overspend during the holidays, which is not good especially when I'm trying to pay off my undergrad loans and also trying to save up for grad school and the move out to Cali. I think my New Year's resolution will be to spend less and save more.
