When I was a child, I had always looked forward to Christmas because I get to visit my relatives, eat more than my little tummy could take, and receive innumerable gifts. Now that I have grown and started making a living, the tables have turned. I am now one of the gift-givers, and seldom the gift-receiver. I was surprised at first and a little bit sad of the turn of things because I love getting presents no matter the value. Later on I realized that as a giver, I actually receive something at the same time, and that, I figured, is the best gift of all.
They are my little cousins, holding out a gift we gave them.
Christmas is the only time of the year that almost all people are sincerely generous, not just because we have more money to spend, but also, it is definitely heart-warming that we have somehow written smiles on a few faces and made their Christmas experience unforgettable.
Meet my granny. We call her Lola Taba. 🙂
Just like last year, I did not expect to receive anything at last night’s family gift-giving. But lo and behold, my aunt gave me pearls and necklaces! YAY!
Wee new accessories!
And a matching bodycon dress! Looks like I’m gonna greet 2011 with a full white wardrobe!
Isn't it gorgeous?
The year isn’t over yet but I’m already getting the feeling that 2011 will be fab! 🙂

Hey there! My name is Daphne and I am based in Tampa Bay, Florida.
This blog has been my digital home since 2010. I initially created Metamorphosis as an outlet for my thoughts but eventually focused on my (questionable) style, beauty routines, and adventures.
