catching up

Well, I've virtually forgotten all about my Vox account. :p I think just about everyone who's on my friends list here has. Which is too bad.

Life has been pretty topsy-turvey for me during the last few months. My uncle died unexpectedly (by that I mean he wasn't sick or experiencing anything that would have caused his early demise), and my aunt flew in from Florida. Talks about what to do with the family property uncle was responsible for ensued. I saw my cousins after a long time, and it was sad that we had to be together this way. My uncle was a good, kind man, and though he had his faults, we love him. He will be missed.

Got to spend time with the family during that week, which was good. I realized that I should take better care of my family and various relatives. We plan to spend Christmas in my dad's hometown.

Art
I haven't been drawing lately. I haven't written anything either, be it a story, or a decent blog/journal entry. I recently purchased a Moleskine Reporter notebook, and though I carry it around with me all the time, I've yet to really use it. Hoping some inspiration strikes, or at least I get in the mood to use it :p

Holidays
Like I said, Christmas is coming and we'll be celebrating it with the family. New Year we might celebrate here, with my mom's family as it's her sister's (my aunt and godmother) birthday on January 1st. There's plans of visiting relatives in Davao next year, but I guess that'll depend on whether we can save enough for the fare and other expenses. I would really love to go there.
