hi blog 
:D it's 5 in the evening as i write this, on christmas day. i apologize for not writing yesterday, i was so busy with christmas preparations. in my culture, we celebrate and unwrap gifts on the night of christmas eve, so there isn't much for me to do today besides... work. 
i'm so tired today, maybe that's what i get for working on christmas and disrupting the balance of the universe (where, ideally, nobody should be working on christmas day!)
anyway, i received many presents from my family and roommate that i'm very grateful for, shared a lot of joy and laughter, and ate a lot. every year, i make pavê - a brazilian dessert with layered custard and ladyfingers - and it gets more delicious every year! i always put sprinkles on top to make it look cuter 
my favorite gift is the little joys coloring book by anna-laura sullivan, my favorite artist. other than the drawing my boyfriend made me, which i made a collage of. an eye for an eye, a hobby for a hobby. i love him and i appreciate everything he does for me. i hope he can feel it.
this is getting long... i'll stop here for now~ happy holidays!
