December diary

And so I'm back. That was like last year since my last post... last year uh!

Well, December holidays has always been my most awaited season every year since my younger days, and I celebrated it as how it should be. Parties and get togethers, drinks and foods, friends, family and lover, plus money. Not much though but they all made me busy and that colds-cough-fever scenario never stopped me from enjoying the holidays. In fact right now I still have virus of those since I can't get myself to rest well.

DEC 21

Another party and this time a lot more fun than the 6th's. With me were my teammates and some superiors, and of course Buddy who should be with me all the time if possible, according to him. We prefer to go somewhere relaxing, where we can feel we are away from a stressful job. Overlooking the whole city where you can only see the lights from buildings and establishments you are having hard time recognizing, the air so cool, trees and plants around, huts and small cottages, you can only hear your voice singing duet with the breeze in that hill top, instead of the horns from big trucks.
An uphill climb to the area was breathtaking but real fun having those cool people around you. Simple dinner, taking pictures, games, some drinks and karaoke made the whole night perfect. Good thing I wasn't drunk then but not much worry if I was, no work for the following day.

Unfortunately, we celebrated Christmas in the office. Fortunate still because of a very delicious noche buena. It did not feel foreign to me at all though it was my first Christmas away from home and my family. Not really away. Still fun coz next day's going to be a bit of rest. Thanks for giving us a break. So Jun, Apol and I had some drink at the route stop to celebrate this day. Another simple yet fun celebration.

DEC 26

This day is the most special. This is my day! My birthday!!! God I'm old! And I'm celebrating this day with Buddy, celebrating our first year anniversary. A year of arguments and joys, laughters and almost-to-giving-up-situations, holding back and bursting out, forgetting and remembering. A pat on the shoulder for both of us surpassing all those negatives and a handshake for all the positives.

One of my fave cousins, Henry, came home to celebrate Christmas with us. I counted the days and it's been a year now that Manila has been her nest and we all missed her alot. We had party all night, drinks, foods from some other people's party (hahahaha!), friends who I also missed like how I missed Henry. I don't need much of unimportant people, few specials will surely do and run the party, and that's what happened. After a case and a half, I guess, or more I think, we were ready to dance our butts off, not in a bar though, but somewhere more fun than being in a bar.
I know for sure we all had the best fun and enjoyment, SPECIALLY Buddy.


Not a day in December I never looked forward to. Aside from work was never so stressfull like how it normally is, I know everyday is like party and celebration. Seeing everybody happy with the most delicious foods on their table, children caroling in the street, Christmas songs on the radio, lanterns and Christmas lights everywhere, bonuses and higher pay than the usual, presents, new clothes and things, nothing can be more happier than that. Even just the thought of that.

Nothing has changed in me when it talks about those things during Christmas, I suddenly realized. Though a lot of me has been 'modified', still I do things how I love and like them to be.
