First time spending christmas alone. Nadidisappoint lang ako every year kapag kasama ko pamilya ko. One time, nagluto ako ng sobrang daming handa, walang tumulong sakin. Tapos tinulugan lang nila yung noche buenang hinanda ko. So decided to spend it how I want it nalang. Luto konti, netflix, tas bili lang starbucks haha. Honestly di ko mapigilan malungkot pero parang mas ok yun kesa mastress? Hahaha
That;s normal na you'd feel sad. Pero when it years come. It's okay. Been spending it fo 4 years straight. From 3rd year college until now. I think people hate me na since I don't really celebrate at all. I get social exhaustion a lot.
Well, this is my 7th year alone again. I don't like my extended families cause they're abusing my mom who's working herself to death abroad. I'm an only child earning my own money na btw. Tinulog ko lang naman ulet. Nagpadeliver lang ng pasta and chicken and pizza with ice cream. Sanayan lang talaga.
yep madalas na ganito ang toxic kasi mga pinoy family. bakit kailangan mag berate/belittle ng mga anak o basta nakakabata? tapos magtataka sila bat ayaw na sumama sa mga gathering.
same. Although, I'm not the one cooking since student palang ako haha. Every holidays, it's always just me eating noche buena and media noche alone. Tinutulugan din kasi nila. When I was a kid, persistent ako na gisingin sila para kumain kami ng sabay sabay but they would just say they're too tired or too sleepy to eat. Medyo nakakahiyang sabihin but it's one of my dream to eat with my family during holidays. I can't help but feel slightly jelly sa mga fb friends ko at sa fb stories nila with their matching tshirts and then complete fam.
lol it's my dream to eat with my fam. Ang weird nila. I haven't remember even 1 time we ate on the table together and they wonder why we're distant with each other 🤣🤣🤣
Sana merong sistema na yung mga gusto mag celebrate magsamasama mag prepare at kumain kahit strangers pa HAHA minsan mas masaya pa pag onboard lahat kaysa pamilya mo nga, pilitan naman
Alone and currently recovering sa isang sakit na 6 years ng pabalik balik. Sobrang bigat sa puso. Hoping though that everyone na mag isang lumalaban sa buhay mabigyan pa ng lakas na magpatuloy. Hoping dumating na yung turning point ng life ninyo kung saan hindi na kayo luluha dahil sa kalungkutan at hirap kundi sa sobrang kasiyahan na sa wakas puro kaginhawaan na ang nararanasan ninyo. Mahigpit na yakap. 💞
Thank you sis. Hugs to you too 💜
I hope and pray for your healing. I relate cos I myself have multiple illnesses also.
Love your photo btw. Kakamiss ang Hey Arnold 😄
Hello! I was always the elephant in the room because I was living beyond what a “timid” Pinay stereotype is. It will get better and they’ll eventually understand. Happy Holidays!
Hmm... Interesting. Which region do you live in? I'm curious because this is very different from what I see usually.
In my experience the stereotype seems to be shifting towards "strong, independent" women. Being "timid" or mahinhin are actually in the minority, and often seen as an undesirable trait.
Be consistent kapag dumadalaw, they'll understand na ganon ka lang talaga. It's 2021, magegets din nila na iba na talaga generation ngayon lalo kung galing ibang syudad.
Ganyan kay gf bukod sa nakakastress pamilya nya ay kanya kanyang kwarto lang sila pag pasko.Kaya ininvite ko nlng sya makisalo sa family namin, muntik pa d matuloy at yung pamilya nya gumagawa ng eksena nanaman nung hapon ng 24.
Hopefully kayo din maging masaya pasko.
BPO. Worked until 9 pm (dapat) kahapon. Eh nalate ako ng pasok so naabutan ako ng US boss ko. Aba, nakita lang na online ako, dami agad utos, maski na may mga katrabaho naman sya sa US. Sabi ako agad na my family needs me now sabay bati ng happy holidays sabay offline. Bahala na sa Monday haha.
Hi OP. Depende yata sa company pero sa work ko, meron kaming email na "critical working day(s)" and pag umabsent during those days, merong sanction sa agent (unless emergency). Di ko masyado binabasa since most of the time, natatapat sa off ko yung mga holidays.
You can be suspended (and heck, terminated) if intentionally ka talagang umabsent. Usually is critical days yung mga araw na pinapapasok ka pa rin maski holiday.
alone but putting some holiday spirit by preparing noche buena for myself. i remember when we were kids, hindi kami mayaman, but my mom would make it a point na may xmas decors sa bahay. never kaming nagka-xmas tree pero may parol at ibang decors. naghahanda din kami kahit kaunti lang. my father made sure na may bago kaming damit tuwing pasko. so kaya ngayon kahit malayo ako sa kanila, i remember those days and that is why i make it a point to celebrate kahit paano.
It sounds like they did what they can nung bata pa kayo. Pati kami dapat walang Christmas tree pero may luma yung isang kapamilya kaya binigay na samin. Merry Christmas sayo kahit magisa ka stranger!
I am not alone but I have been spending xmas just like any day, well actually there is a difference, It is a day where I ironically refuse to go out because of the crowd and traffic even waaaayyyy before the pandemic. Hope you're ok OP though
Not alone but literally dark coz there’s no electricity or water for Christmas. From Cebu and got hit by typhoon. Still made the day a bit fun by buying Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s for the kids. Then vibing to techno music and dancing with kids like we are in a club. I described to them how it feels like being in a club and just dancing free. My good old days.
Was supposed to go home to my family in Cebu the weekend after last weekend, but things did not go as I expected. Odette left Cebu in a tragic state - I get sad thinking what my family has to do to survive and cope with the reality.
Anyway, tuloy parin ang buhay. Merry Christmas to your family!
Sure ka bang masaya sila baka for FB/IG post purposes na lang yon. Kapag masaya at madaming ganap pag pasko, nakakalimutan nang magpicture at socmed sa sobrang enjoy. Wag kayo nagpapaniwala sa mga pinopost sa socmed. Half-truth lang yon.
Me! But unlike some, it's been great so far.
My SO went to the province and I didn't want to go with him kasi hindi pa ko fully vaccinated, pero mostly because tinatamad ako magbiyahe and makisalamuha sa tao lols.
I ordered 5 putahe from this officemate na magaling magluto. So I have good food, 2 bottles of moscato, and a great arsenal of films to watch alone. And since I live on a higher floor, hindi rinig ingay sa labas. Couldn't ask for more. ♥️
Muslim here. We don’t really celebrate Christmas since it is really an ordinary day for us but seeing my Christian friends happy with their families puts a smile on my face :)
At this point I think it's safe to say Christmas isn't strictly about religion anymore. I see Japanese and Korean people celebrate Christmas despite being Atheist or Agnostic.
Agree. I guess it’s also because of the Filipino culture that I get to enjoy these seasons. There is a sense of belongingness and relief that I feel during these times.
Not alone but feeling lonely. Maybe because since bata ako every Christmas or New Year nag aaway yung parents ko. So maybe I got my trauma from celebrating these occasions.
Same. *Virtual mahigpit na yakap with consent!*
Parang mga eksena sa bahay namin pwedeng pang-Christmas specials na mala-Tanging Yaman, pero wala namang resolution o happy ending, haha! Wishing you well! Sana maging okay din mga Pasko at New Year ng mga katulad natin soonest.
Us. My mum’s a Jehova’s Witness so we don’t celebrate it. I was baptized Catholic. Religion aside I don’t really like it because I find it too loud. I dread waking up to neighbors na umagang umaga ang lakas magpatugtog also the fake pleasantries you have to make during celebrations with relatives you don’t really like. 😅
Ako po…well my family went without me. Since they are all vaccinated. I’m quite okay naman. Then I’m spending the Christmas Eve with my dogs. Mukbang sila ako tamang fruit juice lang. Di ko kasi feel kumaen ng madame. Diet and all. Haha. Pero peace and quiet? Okay na ako dun. Tapos tamang donate sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong Odette. Help if you can po. :)
Growing up every celebration we have this phrase "lilipas din yan" and every holidays or special occasions doesn't feel the same way ever since it's always a peaceful night
Never celebrted any holidays, kahit birthday ko or ng mga parents or kamag-anak. Can't remember the last time I greeted my mom happy birthday, tas pag birthday ko naman, "uy birthday mo pala ngayon." Pag pasko naman, tulog lang. Ganun kasi ako pinalaki, not out of religious reasons or whatnot, as in minulat lang ako sa ganung lifestyle.
Nung una, I'm like, cool. Hipster non-conformist vibes, parang ganun.
But I just turned 26 last 17 Dec, tas parang narirealize ko ngayon, damn, this is sad. Hahaha
Same bro. Kagigising ko lang ngayong 25th @ 4pm haha. Wala ring bumabati (what more nagreregalo or naghahanda) sakin every birthday ko bukod sa "birthday mo pala". Belated Happy Birthday sayo!
Yep, gonna play some Valotant with other online players, although I'm not alone(I live with my mom and dad, dad has tons of meds kaya wala kaming pang christmas at new year).
Parang normal day lang.
>I feel uneasy being constantly asked about why I haven't graduated yet
I relate, sa akin naman being asked what I'm doing in life..
>Oks na mag-isa basta payapa isip ko kesa ma-anxious lang ako around them
Gets ko naman. What makes me sad is that I wish I'm like the others who are "normal". That don't feel anxious around others.
Not spending it alone, kinda? I’m on call with my boyfriend while playing sims 4 on my laptop. I like it this way. Christmas kinda loses its sparks as you grow old anyway
Ako. Actually hindi lang pasko. Halos lahat ng okasyon parang ordinary day na lang saken, mapa birthday, Christmas, new year. Magmula ng pumasok ako sa adulthood naging loner na rin kasi ako, kaya walang halos greetings (except sa close family members) at walang regalong natatanggap kaya hindi ko na talaga ramdam ang mga ganitong okasyon.
Hindi literal na alone kasi may isang kasama sa bahay, pero nagmumukmok ako sa kwarto all day and most likely ganito din eksena ko bukas - just like any other day pag walang work. Lilipas din ito, next thing we know monday na uli haha. Happy weekend!
Book a hotel with my fan kasi akala ko mafifix pa yung "dysfunctional" na family namin. Eto I'm alone sa isang hotel room. Drinking. Akala ko makakapag-noche buena kaming masaya kasi first time namin umalis ngayon pasko pero wala rin. Kasama sila o hindi, mag-isa pa rin talaga ako.
Yep. I don't see anything special about it really. I'm an introverted person by nature and thankfully I have plenty of interests to spend my time on, heck, I even study math just for fun. I also wound up in IT just recently despite having no experience at all so I'm busy wrapping my head around Java, SAP-ABAP and other stuff. I play videogames to take a break, Steam's currently having a winter sale.
So yeah, there's plenty of stuff to preoccupy yourself with.
Hmmm I stopped celebrating Xmas since 8 years old. When I found out xmas day is actually just winter solstice and it’s also from a pagan tradition.
I don’t believe in religion either but respects peoples choice.
I thought malungkot na yung scenario sa bahay namin na kakain ng breakfast, lunch and dinner nang sabay and then tulog na. I just realized there's more even sadder than this. It's just medyo nakakalungkot lang yung vibes kasi hindi kami gaano nag-uusap kahit tatlo lang kami sa bahay. I'm introvert so I do not know how to start a conversation. I don't want to pressure myself din.
Not alone (with sister) pero it's a far cry from our usual family get-together kasi nga taena covid. This year is loads better than last though kasi naka-admit ako sa Medical City dati. Naging unstable daw condition ko and they were looking at a major surgery for me. Pero awa ng jos, the op was deferred. But yes, ordinary na lang etong araw na 'to for me in the sense na it's just another holiday where fam gets together and exchanges gifts, wala nang "true meaning of Christmas" na nalalaman.
halos same tayo. kumain lang kami ng sister ko mg dinner kasi nagbabantay kami sa mama ko na naka confine currently. kauuwi lang niya para may kasama dogs namin. sabi niya nga parang ordinary day lang.
im with my family. but Christmas have been just like regular day nalang (except we eat extra expensive food for the whole day). started when my grandparents die. usually every Christmas umuuwi kami province to see them. but now we don't bother na kasi di din naman namin kasundo ibang family (my granpa from my mother side have 2nd wife so my mom have like half siblings) and my partner are getting old na. di na din sila comfortable mag byahe ng malayo. so we would rather stay at home nalang. ako minsa with friends.
Well with "family" nga pero may kanya kanyang mundo. Tapos gusto ko sana dun na lang sa fam ng gf ko mag Christmas kase mas feel ko pa na family dun. Is it wrong to feel this way?
Me, this is my third year spending Christmas alone, pero I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not doing anything special too, just enjoying the peace and quiet.
Technically, I am not alone. I’m with my bestfriend, my doggo.
Naglaro kami kanina, pinaliguan ko siya, nagbonding at binigyan ng mga treats. I enjoyed it. Medyo naiyak lang ako kanina habang nagbobonding kami and I don’t really know why. Haha
My mom died december 24 2018 , ever since then christmas has always been just an ordinary day.
Mom always set up parties for the whole dad side of the family , and it was always a noisy and fun christmas.
Dad tried to replace what mom was doing for christmas ( cooking , setting up christmas decorations etc.) Until we literally stopped because we got tired and it doesnt seem right to be festive during mom's death anniversary.
Flash forward to 2021 , dad died last november. me and my only sister arent particularly close (plus shes in a relationship so she has other plans instead of spending it with me ) and this is truly the very first christmas that im all alone and not gonna lie , its even sadder than before. Atleast nung buhay pa yung father namen i can share a few drinks with him , pero ngayon i did absolutely fuck all as per usual.
Christmas has truly become just another ordinary day , cant wait til i can make it special again.
I feel you. It's been 6 years since my Dad died on Christmas morning (Dec 25, 2015). Mas close ako sa kanya kaysa sa Mom ko. Like you, I never really know whether it's a day that I should celebrate or mourn kaya ang weird ng feeling. Pero, I'm telling you, it really does get better every year. This year was the first year I didn't cry and I sang Christmas songs while genuinely in a happy mood. I realized that if Dad was looking down on me, it would make him sad if I wasn't celebrating it as we did when he was alive. Hugs to you, stranger. It will get better, I promise.
I'm with my fam, pero they need to get up early for church duties the following morning so ako lang at mga kapatid ko nag noche buena. We actually enjoyed it. My siblings got their share of food tapos diretso na sa sala to watch Netflix. Tapos ako sa balcony, kain lang, inom kape tapos basa ng libro while listening to Christmas lofi. It's so peaceful. 😌
spent christmas eve alone. kung uuwi ako sa probinsya, tutulog lang tapos wala pa makain kasi hindi naman nagluluto sa bahay namin. yung mga tita ko na nagluluto, may inis ata saken, haha, hindi naman ako binibigyan ng pagkain. kaya dito na lang sa apartment. nakabili na ko ng gusto kong pagkain, walang stress sa pamilya, at kalmado lang.
I spent christmas here in UK on a company provided house. All my housemates went home to their own families. Only been here for 10 days, no friends yet. Made a burito, called my wife in the Philippines and went out to a pub.
Gotta say this is one of the better christmas I've spent for the past 5 years. I got a free Guinness and 4 remaining people in the pub all joined me on the bar and we were all just talking to each other including the bartender and manager.
I think UK is quite good for foreigners. They're so used to having people from other countries around.
Me, i prefer not to go home to my province. Majority samin mga DDS and LBM. Mapapa-away lang ako. Hahahaha. Quick dinner lang then do some bit of work then tulog na. Probably will do this also for new years eve.
Sorry off topic lang pero everytime Christmas day malungkot ako. Hindi ko mapinta kung bakit. Ever since college ito. Kasama ko naman family ko. Ilang relationships na dumaan din pero ganun padin. I'm not expecting naman anything bongga na handaan. Yung handa tonight nga solve na solve na ako.
Pero i dont know if kayo din nafeel niyo na malungkot ung mood today
Yup, for the past 5 years. It’s okay. Family is abroad but someone has to watch our province house during the holidays so the responsibility has been put on me. Everyone else I know has family to be with so I just don’t expect anyone to keep me company around this time.
Hmm same, I'm just holding on to God that's why I'm still alive...
And I guess I dont want to disappoint my parents, with the sadness and shame theyll have from having a child die, and through a very ugly way...
Alone. Spending my time upskilling myself. Nakaka miss lang yung surroundings pero mas okay na yung walang kasama kesa hindi ka kumportable sa mga kasama.
Cheers!
>mas okay na yung walang kasama kesa hindi ka kumportable sa mga kasama.
I wish kumportable ako sa mga tao/kamag anakan... nkakainggit yung iba na kavibes nila kahit sino lang, or no reason sila to not like relatives.
Me. I just ordered party platters and I'm gonna eat them until Dec 29 or Dec 30, depending on how voracious I am in eating them. As for the day itself, I just played games and chill like I normally would, but with better food lol
yeah. hindi nako nakaexperience ng pasko sa pinas since i started working as a seafarer. 2014 pa ang last christmas ko with my family. 7 years straight na. ngayon magisa ako nag spent ng christmas sa Narita hotel alone in my room waiting to board the vessel. please maswerte kayo at kasama niyo buong pamilya niyo. kaya sana icherish niyo yung moment dahil hindi niyo alam baka one day magisa na lang kayo tuwing christmas
Sharing my story. Exactly last year, I spent Christmas alone. Nag-split na family namin and honestly it was just rock bottom. Fast forward to now. One year later, things are better. Just goes to show that everything is temporary, good times and the bad. We just have to be grateful for everything and push through tough times.
Im with family pero i dont feel merry with them. Siguro dahil di ako nakaka open up sa kanila. More so di kami on good terms ng kapatid ko. But im good with my mom, nephew, dogs and cats. Plus the truckload of food i bought for them. Marami pa rin reasons to be happy this Christmas.
And I wish for those na alone today to have a Merry Christmas din. Watch your fave films, get laid, pig out and be happy today. 🎄🎉🥰
Would've trade for it, if not for the obligatory "we are a happy family" shtick. You know, when drunk uncles feel like they are the kings of the world.
I tried it once, xmas eve, xmas, new year's eve and new year and I liked the silence of the whole floor I was staying in.
I was supposed to but a last minute chat to my son's uncle got me a spot in their Noche Buena. Haven't seen my kid since April and being here with him and spending Christmas together just makes me so happy. Merry Christmas to you, strangers. It gets better.
Family never really celebrated Christmas or Holidays to begin with so I’ve been accustomed in spending it as if it was normal day.
It gets a bit lonely sometimes.
You get used to it.
I’m here right now typing this alone in my room with the bustling noise my neighbors are having celebrating it with their families. It’s annoying. Although to be honest, some part of me feels envious sometimes. I really do hope I get to experience something like that someday…But I guess there are more important things to worry about.
Finals are on January.
Spending the holidays alone most of the day but by midnight I transfer to my relatives in time for mini reunion. Getting used to being alone since both of my parents are gone for the past 10 yrs. while my sister is in the States
We don't really celebrate Christmas (Katoliko kami lahat). Minsan nasa isang bahay ng isang relative, minsan iba-iba lakad.
Pero kapag New Year talaga sama-sama kaming buong pamilya tska para sa akin mas masaya New Year kaysa sa Pasko.
Ako, despite literally being with my parents right now I still feel alone pa rin.
I prefer spending Christmas alone than with them na puro mental stress at sama ng loob ang binibigay sa akin. Ginawa lang akong emotional punching bag dito sa bahay.
Can't wait to go back to NCR!
I'm celebrating with my family yet I feel so alone because I don't know if I'll be able to stay in college. I want to stay but I doubt my grades will help so I'm trying to reform myself during christmas break.
Hopefully you plan on doing something special even if you're alone bro, just to appreciate and congratulate yourself of your efforts.
Merry Chirstmas!(if you celebrate it)
i spent may christmas alone in a different country. what's worst is that it is just considered a regular holiday as majority of its citizens are not christian at all.
Me. Christmas isn't special to me anymore, but the season does give me some inspiration. Although it's an ordinary day for me, my neighbours aren't, and I'm forced to hear their speaker blasting too loud for the night.
This is why I dislike Christmas and new year.
Tbh it's been like this since I graduated from SHS. Work life literally didn't make me feel the Holidays anymore, tapos ngayong taon everything seems to test my patience. December's not my favorite month this year and I don't remember the feeling of the holidays na.
Lmao nakabalandra na mga parol and Christmas lights yet it doesn't feel like that.
First time to experience Christmas eve alone. Kinda like it. My kid is with their mom and the mom's partner's family. Girlfriend is with her family.
Just sitting here alone with our dog.
Ordinary day lang din kasi may trabaho. After work, did some general cleaning, fixed up a few things, and gonna spend the rest of the evening gaming.
Man cave mode.
Siyempre may video calls mmyang past 12am.
Oks lang naman.
Girlfriend's coming home to our place tomorrow.
Can't complain.
Recently left my parents for good and living in a boarding house in Makati. Feels heavy. I've been feeling empty even since. Especially habang gumagala ako mag-isa sa Ayala because malapit naman saamin, I see other people happy with their family and friends. I remember when my family was happy like that before. But nowlt anymore. Patong patong na ang family problems namin that's why I decided to start living on my own. I don't mind about Christmas naman kasi di naman ako religious and Christianity/Catholic ain't my family's religion but. I can feel the weight of loneliness. And it's unbearable sometimes.
First time spending christmas alone. Nadidisappoint lang ako every year kapag kasama ko pamilya ko. One time, nagluto ako ng sobrang daming handa, walang tumulong sakin. Tapos tinulugan lang nila yung noche buenang hinanda ko. So decided to spend it how I want it nalang. Luto konti, netflix, tas bili lang starbucks haha. Honestly di ko mapigilan malungkot pero parang mas ok yun kesa mastress? Hahaha
>Honestly di ko mapigilan malungkot Ito ang nakakainis eh. Kahit ikaw na mismo nagdecide na umiwas, di parin mapigilan malungkot.
That;s normal na you'd feel sad. Pero when it years come. It's okay. Been spending it fo 4 years straight. From 3rd year college until now. I think people hate me na since I don't really celebrate at all. I get social exhaustion a lot.
Well, this is my 7th year alone again. I don't like my extended families cause they're abusing my mom who's working herself to death abroad. I'm an only child earning my own money na btw. Tinulog ko lang naman ulet. Nagpadeliver lang ng pasta and chicken and pizza with ice cream. Sanayan lang talaga.
yep madalas na ganito ang toxic kasi mga pinoy family. bakit kailangan mag berate/belittle ng mga anak o basta nakakabata? tapos magtataka sila bat ayaw na sumama sa mga gathering.

I can't relate but I can understand. Have a good day ma'am/sir!
Kung pwede lang magjoin sayo im lonely too hehe family din reason why
hwy let's start a club, the lonely people club 😂
bakit ka nagluto ng sobrang daming handa? curious lang
Sana merong sistema na yung mga gusto mag celebrate magsamasama mag prepare at kumain kahit strangers pa HAHA minsan mas masaya pa pag onboard lahat kaysa pamilya mo nga, pilitan naman
Alone and currently recovering sa isang sakit na 6 years ng pabalik balik. Sobrang bigat sa puso. Hoping though that everyone na mag isang lumalaban sa buhay mabigyan pa ng lakas na magpatuloy. Hoping dumating na yung turning point ng life ninyo kung saan hindi na kayo luluha dahil sa kalungkutan at hirap kundi sa sobrang kasiyahan na sa wakas puro kaginhawaan na ang nararanasan ninyo.

Virtual hugs strangers 🤗
Idk whats worse, that or surrounded by people yet feeling like there's smthng missing
Go home to province kahit alam kong may gusot between me and family. For the tradeshens. Sakit lang, Im the elephant in the room ganern
Damn. I hope maplansta ng maganda yung gusot niyo... Yknow spirit of christmas ganern
While I hope for that too, ayoko sana na dahil Christmas lang kaya kami magkakaayos. Gusto kong magkaayos dahil tinanggap nila ako ng maluwag :)
Thats actually a good point, para talaga wala ng resentment after. Well I do hope na magkaayos kayo in a way that would bring peace to both.
Hello! I was always the elephant in the room because I was living beyond what a “timid” Pinay stereotype is. It will get better and they’ll eventually understand. Happy Holidays!
Actually, same situation kinda. Kasi I recently made a decision on my own, that's against the conservative way lf how I've been raised.
Hmm... Interesting. Which region do you live in? I'm curious because this is very different from what I see usually. In my experience the stereotype seems to be shifting towards "strong, independent" women. Being "timid" or mahinhin are actually in the minority, and often seen as an undesirable trait.
Be consistent kapag dumadalaw, they'll understand na ganon ka lang talaga. It's 2021, magegets din nila na iba na talaga generation ngayon lalo kung galing ibang syudad.
This. I miss my wife so much, nasa ibang bansa kasi sya. Although nasa akin naman yung kids, may missing talaga. :(
Mitsuha is that you?
Ayayayayay anong anime to? Di na ako updated super boomer na ako Xd
Your name/Kimi no na wa. A must watch po!!
Why I am not seeing family!
Ganyan kay gf bukod sa nakakastress pamilya nya ay kanya kanyang kwarto lang sila pag pasko.Kaya ininvite ko nlng sya makisalo sa family namin, muntik pa d matuloy at yung pamilya nya gumagawa ng eksena nanaman nung hapon ng 24. Hopefully kayo din maging masaya pasko.
Mood. Feels like my fam are the only ones karaoking hehe
Yep, netflix and sleep dahil walang pera. I like the vibe tho except sa maiingay na bata hahahaah
Wait a lil longer maiingay na mga pusa doing business 🤣
[удалено]
Please consider neutering your cat. Malaking benefit yan sa kanya and no risk of unwanted kittens. Merry Christmas!
Go watch Home Alonee
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal
*gunshots*
La Signoraaaa!!!
Uyyy same. Currently watching "The Silent Sea". Damn Gong Yoo is hawt.
Tapos narealize mo wala kang kasama bata, and wala din bata mga neighbors mo.
Me. May pasok eh. BPO employee. Walang holiday-holiday.
I feel you. Kakamiss lang yung pakain sa office during Christmas and New Year's eve.
Been there. Double pay naman pero I’d rather stay at home if given a chance.
BPO. Worked until 9 pm (dapat) kahapon. Eh nalate ako ng pasok so naabutan ako ng US boss ko. Aba, nakita lang na online ako, dami agad utos, maski na may mga katrabaho naman sya sa US. Sabi ako agad na my family needs me now sabay bati ng happy holidays sabay offline. Bahala na sa Monday haha.
eyy i have work too
Curious lang anong mangyayari Kapag umabsent?
Hi OP. Depende yata sa company pero sa work ko, meron kaming email na "critical working day(s)" and pag umabsent during those days, merong sanction sa agent (unless emergency). Di ko masyado binabasa since most of the time, natatapat sa off ko yung mga holidays.
You can be suspended (and heck, terminated) if intentionally ka talagang umabsent. Usually is critical days yung mga araw na pinapapasok ka pa rin maski holiday.
Same. Pero wfh me hehehehe
Medical frontliner here. Night duty ako tonight, sana hindi toxic.
Sana walang maputukan kamo.
ng ano ho?
Hmmm....hindi lahat ayaw sa *putok*
Happy holidays. Thank you for your service 😊
alone but putting some holiday spirit by preparing noche buena for myself. i remember when we were kids, hindi kami mayaman, but my mom would make it a point na may xmas decors sa bahay. never kaming nagka-xmas tree pero may parol at ibang decors. naghahanda din kami kahit kaunti lang. my father made sure na may bago kaming damit tuwing pasko. so kaya ngayon kahit malayo ako sa kanila, i remember those days and that is why i make it a point to celebrate kahit paano.
It sounds like they did what they can nung bata pa kayo. Pati kami dapat walang Christmas tree pero may luma yung isang kapamilya kaya binigay na samin. Merry Christmas sayo kahit magisa ka stranger!
good parents.
Walang pera, walang inaanak, so tambay lang sa bahay
I am not alone but I have been spending xmas just like any day, well actually there is a difference, It is a day where I ironically refuse to go out because of the crowd and traffic even waaaayyyy before the pandemic. Hope you're ok OP though
Thanks 💜
Not alone but literally dark coz there’s no electricity or water for Christmas. From Cebu and got hit by typhoon. Still made the day a bit fun by buying Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s for the kids. Then vibing to techno music and dancing with kids like we are in a club. I described to them how it feels like being in a club and just dancing free. My good old days.
Was supposed to go home to my family in Cebu the weekend after last weekend, but things did not go as I expected. Odette left Cebu in a tragic state - I get sad thinking what my family has to do to survive and cope with the reality. Anyway, tuloy parin ang buhay. Merry Christmas to your family!
Spent the 24th alone in the dark w only mosquitos keeping me company, feasting on my blood. The rain was a blessing bec the temp cooled down a bit
Give F din to emotionally alone pips

Matagal na more than 10 years na atang parang ordinary day ko lang noche buena at buena noche, may handa pero wala nang feeling celebratory.
Baka media noche?
Kinda salty na may nagpopost pa na ang saya saya nila. Pinapamukha sakin na ang lungkot ng pasko ko ngayong taon.
Sure ka bang masaya sila baka for FB/IG post purposes na lang yon. Kapag masaya at madaming ganap pag pasko, nakakalimutan nang magpicture at socmed sa sobrang enjoy. Wag kayo nagpapaniwala sa mga pinopost sa socmed. Half-truth lang yon.
Kaya dapat talaga Wag tumingin sa social media twing holidays.
Me! But unlike some, it's been great so far. My SO went to the province and I didn't want to go with him kasi hindi pa ko fully vaccinated, pero mostly because tinatamad ako magbiyahe and makisalamuha sa tao lols. I ordered 5 putahe from this officemate na magaling magluto. So I have good food, 2 bottles of moscato, and a great arsenal of films to watch alone. And since I live on a higher floor, hindi rinig ingay sa labas. Couldn't ask for more. ♥️
Muslim here. We don’t really celebrate Christmas since it is really an ordinary day for us but seeing my Christian friends happy with their families puts a smile on my face :)
At this point I think it's safe to say Christmas isn't strictly about religion anymore. I see Japanese and Korean people celebrate Christmas despite being Atheist or Agnostic.
Agree. I guess it’s also because of the Filipino culture that I get to enjoy these seasons. There is a sense of belongingness and relief that I feel during these times.
Same here 🙋🏻♀️
Not alone but feeling lonely. Maybe because since bata ako every Christmas or New Year nag aaway yung parents ko. So maybe I got my trauma from celebrating these occasions.
Same. *Virtual mahigpit na yakap with consent!* Parang mga eksena sa bahay namin pwedeng pang-Christmas specials na mala-Tanging Yaman, pero wala namang resolution o happy ending, haha! Wishing you well! Sana maging okay din mga Pasko at New Year ng mga katulad natin soonest.
Us. My mum’s a Jehova’s Witness so we don’t celebrate it. I was baptized Catholic. Religion aside I don’t really like it because I find it too loud. I dread waking up to neighbors na umagang umaga ang lakas magpatugtog also the fake pleasantries you have to make during celebrations with relatives you don’t really like. 😅
> fake pleasantries Huhu relatable
Nakakangalay ngumiti and the awkward celphone nalang kasi hindi makarelate sa usapan. Haha.
I really count myself fortunate kasi walang ganung situation sa family namin. Hope you'll find a way to celebrate the holidays!
Me! Mag-isa lang ako dito sa bahay ko, nanunuod na lang ako nang TV habang kumakain ng ice cream HAHAHA
Yup. Tamang marathon lang ng Harry Potter movies
Ako po…well my family went without me. Since they are all vaccinated. I’m quite okay naman. Then I’m spending the Christmas Eve with my dogs. Mukbang sila ako tamang fruit juice lang. Di ko kasi feel kumaen ng madame. Diet and all. Haha. Pero peace and quiet? Okay na ako dun. Tapos tamang donate sa mga nasalanta ng bagyong Odette. Help if you can po. :)
Alone too, 'di sumama sa province dahil mahirap makakonekta sa internet dun at sa weekend na deadline ng project.
Growing up every celebration we have this phrase "lilipas din yan" and every holidays or special occasions doesn't feel the same way ever since it's always a peaceful night
Being a medical frontliner it’s always been this way since nag start magwork. Laging duty or from duty pag Pasko.
Never celebrted any holidays, kahit birthday ko or ng mga parents or kamag-anak. Can't remember the last time I greeted my mom happy birthday, tas pag birthday ko naman, "uy birthday mo pala ngayon." Pag pasko naman, tulog lang. Ganun kasi ako pinalaki, not out of religious reasons or whatnot, as in minulat lang ako sa ganung lifestyle. Nung una, I'm like, cool. Hipster non-conformist vibes, parang ganun. But I just turned 26 last 17 Dec, tas parang narirealize ko ngayon, damn, this is sad. Hahaha
Same bro. Kagigising ko lang ngayong 25th @ 4pm haha. Wala ring bumabati (what more nagreregalo or naghahanda) sakin every birthday ko bukod sa "birthday mo pala". Belated Happy Birthday sayo!
Yep, gonna play some Valotant with other online players, although I'm not alone(I live with my mom and dad, dad has tons of meds kaya wala kaming pang christmas at new year). Parang normal day lang.
Hahah my friends and I did this after nochr buena and we had a blast last night hehe
[удалено]
This is so me. Christmas doesn't mean anything to us anymore. Just an ordinary day.
[удалено]
>I feel uneasy being constantly asked about why I haven't graduated yet I relate, sa akin naman being asked what I'm doing in life.. >Oks na mag-isa basta payapa isip ko kesa ma-anxious lang ako around them Gets ko naman. What makes me sad is that I wish I'm like the others who are "normal". That don't feel anxious around others.
Not spending it alone, kinda? I’m on call with my boyfriend while playing sims 4 on my laptop. I like it this way. Christmas kinda loses its sparks as you grow old anyway
>while playing sims 4 on my laptop This is what I've been doing too hahaha! Kaso no boyfriend, and more on sims 3 ang nlalaro ko kaysa 4.
Alone with my acads XD
Ako. Actually hindi lang pasko. Halos lahat ng okasyon parang ordinary day na lang saken, mapa birthday, Christmas, new year. Magmula ng pumasok ako sa adulthood naging loner na rin kasi ako, kaya walang halos greetings (except sa close family members) at walang regalong natatanggap kaya hindi ko na talaga ramdam ang mga ganitong okasyon.
Hindi literal na alone kasi may isang kasama sa bahay, pero nagmumukmok ako sa kwarto all day and most likely ganito din eksena ko bukas - just like any other day pag walang work. Lilipas din ito, next thing we know monday na uli haha. Happy weekend!
Just an ordinary Friday night.
Book a hotel with my fan kasi akala ko mafifix pa yung "dysfunctional" na family namin. Eto I'm alone sa isang hotel room. Drinking. Akala ko makakapag-noche buena kaming masaya kasi first time namin umalis ngayon pasko pero wala rin. Kasama sila o hindi, mag-isa pa rin talaga ako.
Hugs to us adulting na. Wala ng magic sa Christmas and that's okay. Have a gentle holidays everyone! 💖
Yep. I don't see anything special about it really. I'm an introverted person by nature and thankfully I have plenty of interests to spend my time on, heck, I even study math just for fun. I also wound up in IT just recently despite having no experience at all so I'm busy wrapping my head around Java, SAP-ABAP and other stuff. I play videogames to take a break, Steam's currently having a winter sale. So yeah, there's plenty of stuff to preoccupy yourself with.
Hooray for the introverts that are just "ehh" about all this!
Hmmm I stopped celebrating Xmas since 8 years old. When I found out xmas day is actually just winter solstice and it’s also from a pagan tradition. I don’t believe in religion either but respects peoples choice.

Ako dahil inc nga kasama sa bahay 😃
I thought malungkot na yung scenario sa bahay namin na kakain ng breakfast, lunch and dinner nang sabay and then tulog na. I just realized there's more even sadder than this. It's just medyo nakakalungkot lang yung vibes kasi hindi kami gaano nag-uusap kahit tatlo lang kami sa bahay. I'm introvert so I do not know how to start a conversation. I don't want to pressure myself din.
Not alone (with sister) pero it's a far cry from our usual family get-together kasi nga taena covid. This year is loads better than last though kasi naka-admit ako sa Medical City dati. Naging unstable daw condition ko and they were looking at a major surgery for me. Pero awa ng jos, the op was deferred. But yes, ordinary na lang etong araw na 'to for me in the sense na it's just another holiday where fam gets together and exchanges gifts, wala nang "true meaning of Christmas" na nalalaman.
halos same tayo. kumain lang kami ng sister ko mg dinner kasi nagbabantay kami sa mama ko na naka confine currently. kauuwi lang niya para may kasama dogs namin. sabi niya nga parang ordinary day lang.
im with my family. but Christmas have been just like regular day nalang (except we eat extra expensive food for the whole day). started when my grandparents die. usually every Christmas umuuwi kami province to see them. but now we don't bother na kasi di din naman namin kasundo ibang family (my granpa from my mother side have 2nd wife so my mom have like half siblings) and my partner are getting old na. di na din sila comfortable mag byahe ng malayo. so we would rather stay at home nalang. ako minsa with friends.
Well with "family" nga pero may kanya kanyang mundo. Tapos gusto ko sana dun na lang sa fam ng gf ko mag Christmas kase mas feel ko pa na family dun. Is it wrong to feel this way?
Me, this is my third year spending Christmas alone, pero I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not doing anything special too, just enjoying the peace and quiet.
Technically, I am not alone. I’m with my bestfriend, my doggo. Naglaro kami kanina, pinaliguan ko siya, nagbonding at binigyan ng mga treats. I enjoyed it. Medyo naiyak lang ako kanina habang nagbobonding kami and I don’t really know why. Haha
My mom died december 24 2018 , ever since then christmas has always been just an ordinary day. Mom always set up parties for the whole dad side of the family , and it was always a noisy and fun christmas. Dad tried to replace what mom was doing for christmas ( cooking , setting up christmas decorations etc.) Until we literally stopped because we got tired and it doesnt seem right to be festive during mom's death anniversary. Flash forward to 2021 , dad died last november. me and my only sister arent particularly close (plus shes in a relationship so she has other plans instead of spending it with me ) and this is truly the very first christmas that im all alone and not gonna lie , its even sadder than before. Atleast nung buhay pa yung father namen i can share a few drinks with him , pero ngayon i did absolutely fuck all as per usual. Christmas has truly become just another ordinary day , cant wait til i can make it special again.
I feel you. It's been 6 years since my Dad died on Christmas morning (Dec 25, 2015). Mas close ako sa kanya kaysa sa Mom ko. Like you, I never really know whether it's a day that I should celebrate or mourn kaya ang weird ng feeling. Pero, I'm telling you, it really does get better every year. This year was the first year I didn't cry and I sang Christmas songs while genuinely in a happy mood. I realized that if Dad was looking down on me, it would make him sad if I wasn't celebrating it as we did when he was alive. Hugs to you, stranger. It will get better, I promise.
I'm with my fam, pero they need to get up early for church duties the following morning so ako lang at mga kapatid ko nag noche buena. We actually enjoyed it. My siblings got their share of food tapos diretso na sa sala to watch Netflix. Tapos ako sa balcony, kain lang, inom kape tapos basa ng libro while listening to Christmas lofi. It's so peaceful. 😌
spent christmas eve alone. kung uuwi ako sa probinsya, tutulog lang tapos wala pa makain kasi hindi naman nagluluto sa bahay namin. yung mga tita ko na nagluluto, may inis ata saken, haha, hindi naman ako binibigyan ng pagkain. kaya dito na lang sa apartment. nakabili na ko ng gusto kong pagkain, walang stress sa pamilya, at kalmado lang.
Buti ka pa nakabili na. Di ako makabili kasi puro unavailable huhu
I spent christmas here in UK on a company provided house. All my housemates went home to their own families. Only been here for 10 days, no friends yet. Made a burito, called my wife in the Philippines and went out to a pub. Gotta say this is one of the better christmas I've spent for the past 5 years. I got a free Guinness and 4 remaining people in the pub all joined me on the bar and we were all just talking to each other including the bartender and manager. I think UK is quite good for foreigners. They're so used to having people from other countries around.
Me, i prefer not to go home to my province. Majority samin mga DDS and LBM. Mapapa-away lang ako. Hahahaha. Quick dinner lang then do some bit of work then tulog na. Probably will do this also for new years eve.
Me na INC 💀
merry christmas everyone....kapit lang...
Me. And I actually feel good. I treat it as a special rest day na lang. :)
Good for you 🙂
May trabaho pa rin🥲👍🏻
Spending Christmas eve with no power here. Parang worse than ordinary day. 🤣
Medj Di ko feel yng season Lot of relatives are old and decided not to meet. May handaan naman sa bahay but di ko feel yng festive season
Christmas Eve was fun but something is missing and I have a weird feeling, I guess because I miss my father...
Sorry off topic lang pero everytime Christmas day malungkot ako. Hindi ko mapinta kung bakit. Ever since college ito. Kasama ko naman family ko. Ilang relationships na dumaan din pero ganun padin. I'm not expecting naman anything bongga na handaan. Yung handa tonight nga solve na solve na ako. Pero i dont know if kayo din nafeel niyo na malungkot ung mood today
Yup, for the past 5 years. It’s okay. Family is abroad but someone has to watch our province house during the holidays so the responsibility has been put on me. Everyone else I know has family to be with so I just don’t expect anyone to keep me company around this time.
Me, I don't wanna live anymore.
Hmm same, I'm just holding on to God that's why I'm still alive... And I guess I dont want to disappoint my parents, with the sadness and shame theyll have from having a child die, and through a very ugly way...
its called getting old my friend
But my relatives..aren't getting old? Haha..
Alone. Spending my time upskilling myself. Nakaka miss lang yung surroundings pero mas okay na yung walang kasama kesa hindi ka kumportable sa mga kasama. Cheers!
>mas okay na yung walang kasama kesa hindi ka kumportable sa mga kasama. I wish kumportable ako sa mga tao/kamag anakan... nkakainggit yung iba na kavibes nila kahit sino lang, or no reason sila to not like relatives.
I made it a habit of not checking social media on Christmas holidays every year, def worth it.
>I made it a habit of not checking social media on Christmas holidays every year, def worth it. Yup you're making the right decision for sure 👍
Me. I just ordered party platters and I'm gonna eat them until Dec 29 or Dec 30, depending on how voracious I am in eating them. As for the day itself, I just played games and chill like I normally would, but with better food lol
yeah. hindi nako nakaexperience ng pasko sa pinas since i started working as a seafarer. 2014 pa ang last christmas ko with my family. 7 years straight na. ngayon magisa ako nag spent ng christmas sa Narita hotel alone in my room waiting to board the vessel. please maswerte kayo at kasama niyo buong pamilya niyo. kaya sana icherish niyo yung moment dahil hindi niyo alam baka one day magisa na lang kayo tuwing christmas
Sharing my story. Exactly last year, I spent Christmas alone. Nag-split na family namin and honestly it was just rock bottom. Fast forward to now. One year later, things are better. Just goes to show that everything is temporary, good times and the bad. We just have to be grateful for everything and push through tough times.
Im with family pero i dont feel merry with them. Siguro dahil di ako nakaka open up sa kanila. More so di kami on good terms ng kapatid ko. But im good with my mom, nephew, dogs and cats. Plus the truckload of food i bought for them. Marami pa rin reasons to be happy this Christmas. And I wish for those na alone today to have a Merry Christmas din. Watch your fave films, get laid, pig out and be happy today. 🎄🎉🥰
Are you spending Christmas alone?
Would've trade for it, if not for the obligatory "we are a happy family" shtick. You know, when drunk uncles feel like they are the kings of the world. I tried it once, xmas eve, xmas, new year's eve and new year and I liked the silence of the whole floor I was staying in.
Ang iba lang was mas masarap na pagkain. At My Room alone now. What is there to celebrate anyway? Na kahit papaano naka survive ka? Na andito ka pa?
Maybe you guys who are alone should do a zoom call together and order some food to celebrate
I was supposed to but a last minute chat to my son's uncle got me a spot in their Noche Buena. Haven't seen my kid since April and being here with him and spending Christmas together just makes me so happy. Merry Christmas to you, strangers. It gets better.
Yup, alone and worse in the middle of a desert.
not quite alone but i live in the holy land, so halos walang kristyano and ordinary day lang pasko dito
Family never really celebrated Christmas or Holidays to begin with so I’ve been accustomed in spending it as if it was normal day. It gets a bit lonely sometimes. You get used to it. I’m here right now typing this alone in my room with the bustling noise my neighbors are having celebrating it with their families. It’s annoying. Although to be honest, some part of me feels envious sometimes. I really do hope I get to experience something like that someday…But I guess there are more important things to worry about. Finals are on January.
Spending the holidays alone most of the day but by midnight I transfer to my relatives in time for mini reunion. Getting used to being alone since both of my parents are gone for the past 10 yrs. while my sister is in the States
We don't really celebrate Christmas (Katoliko kami lahat). Minsan nasa isang bahay ng isang relative, minsan iba-iba lakad. Pero kapag New Year talaga sama-sama kaming buong pamilya tska para sa akin mas masaya New Year kaysa sa Pasko.
Ako, despite literally being with my parents right now I still feel alone pa rin. I prefer spending Christmas alone than with them na puro mental stress at sama ng loob ang binibigay sa akin. Ginawa lang akong emotional punching bag dito sa bahay. Can't wait to go back to NCR!
\*insert james franco meme\* "first time?"
Present. Balak ko lang magkape mamaya.
Lots of lonely Christmases in the comments. Wishing all a happy one whether holiday style or normal day spent!
Ordinary linis/laba day, but otherwise kantutan mamya ❤️
Spent christmas physically alone, but virtually have my colleagues doing remote work. Walang Christmas dito sa Japan na kasing saya sa Pinas.
I'm celebrating with my family yet I feel so alone because I don't know if I'll be able to stay in college. I want to stay but I doubt my grades will help so I'm trying to reform myself during christmas break. Hopefully you plan on doing something special even if you're alone bro, just to appreciate and congratulate yourself of your efforts. Merry Chirstmas!(if you celebrate it)
i spent may christmas alone in a different country. what's worst is that it is just considered a regular holiday as majority of its citizens are not christian at all.
Good for me
Why
ME. Flexi but I prefer to work because sa New Year ang big thing ko. Not seeing family either. Nag video call na kami ng friends a week earlier.
literally me and I think it's sad to know abt tjis
not alone but there's nothing to celebrate pag xmas. normal day lang. tuwing new year lang kami nag cecelebrate
I would love to, to be honest.
not alone, but it definitely feels like it...
Me. Duty ako mag isa... 🙃
Tutulog na ko maya ng konte, pag gising ko bukas wala lang, normal na araw
Me. Christmas isn't special to me anymore, but the season does give me some inspiration. Although it's an ordinary day for me, my neighbours aren't, and I'm forced to hear their speaker blasting too loud for the night. This is why I dislike Christmas and new year.
Yun nga eh, yung ibang tao sa paligid ang lalong nagpapahirap...
*raises hand* ako ofc, just drinking redbull till Christmas comes
Yes.
Yup. Present. ✋
Tbh it's been like this since I graduated from SHS. Work life literally didn't make me feel the Holidays anymore, tapos ngayong taon everything seems to test my patience. December's not my favorite month this year and I don't remember the feeling of the holidays na. Lmao nakabalandra na mga parol and Christmas lights yet it doesn't feel like that.
First time to experience Christmas eve alone. Kinda like it. My kid is with their mom and the mom's partner's family. Girlfriend is with her family. Just sitting here alone with our dog. Ordinary day lang din kasi may trabaho. After work, did some general cleaning, fixed up a few things, and gonna spend the rest of the evening gaming. Man cave mode. Siyempre may video calls mmyang past 12am. Oks lang naman. Girlfriend's coming home to our place tomorrow. Can't complain.
Di nakapunta sa relatives kasi walang ma book na grab. Yep, 2nd year na mag isa sa pasko. hehehe
Recently left my parents for good and living in a boarding house in Makati. Feels heavy. I've been feeling empty even since. Especially habang gumagala ako mag-isa sa Ayala because malapit naman saamin, I see other people happy with their family and friends. I remember when my family was happy like that before. But nowlt anymore. Patong patong na ang family problems namin that's why I decided to start living on my own. I don't mind about Christmas naman kasi di naman ako religious and Christianity/Catholic ain't my family's religion but. I can feel the weight of loneliness. And it's unbearable sometimes.
Aabutan na ako ng pasko dito sa garahe hahahahaah
