Re-Writing The Magic, Re-Living Xmas n Winter

Am supposed to be re-writing the piece I wrote for RMG because Boss wants it to be repositioned. OK OK, this is putting my writing skills to test. And what they say about writing? One has to be in the right frame of mind and sanity to produce a nice piece.

Settle down. Settle down. I'm not all that talented for Heaven's sake. Not that I can just write my life away at any point in time, or at the snap of the fingers kinda thing. I'm not there yet. And apparently, I have been drilled to do analytics and risk management work only *eyes looking up at the ceiling.*

Year 2010 is coming. I have not even gotten the list of names down for the pressies. I know. I'm like way behind time. For the longest time, I get pretty excited over pressies but I don't know why this year, I am utterly unmotivated. Probably, over shopping?

I even missed my usual Crabtree sale. I even miss walking around the malls to ogle at the cute ready available cards Marks and Spencers normally sells. I even don't have a list of names for X'mas cards.

So un-me *grin* What's happening? Is Verniela growing out of the Christmas spirit? Is the ghost of Christmas going to visit me soon?

Few people has lamented that lately I have been wearing very pretty dresses to work. Oh! Now I realized, I have not been very feminine per see when it comes to dressing. And yes, I did do some serious shopping several weeks back when I said I just got into that MNG boutique and grabbed some 4 dresses at one go, 1 blouse, 1 tube. Well… this is me. And I hope to be doing this more often now that I have gotten my mojo to looking supposedly fabulously girly. Ehem ehem.

I mean with this nice girly long hair, slimmer face frame, it does make some sense, apparently. Oh, now look who is talking about vanity. Something which did not come naturally obviously *eyes looking up the ceiling again*

Anyway, I'm so looking forward to the end of the day because I plan to go Christmas shopping on my own. Yay! I can just linger on places and not worry someone is kept waiting for me. You know that sort of musing around on stuff you particular have a thing or two for. Though, I hope my list is ready by then. If not, it'll be just me and shopping for my winter stuff for Beijing.

Talking about Beijing. I was apparently been forewarned that winter at the top of the Great Wall would be a challenge. Woah! It's not about the steepness of the stairs but the freezing chilling wind that beats the face. Uh! *scary* But yet, I am still determine because for the life of me, I am actually so into that challenge. *God knows what has gotten into me*

Anyway, enough said, it's time to run along… ta-ta for now.
