Christmas 2011-Part 2

Okay so Christmas is over but the holiday season isn't yet. I can definitely say that I had the roughest Christmas day ever this year. Nevertheless, I still have a lot of things to be thankful for because God has definitely showered me and my family with so so many blessings through out this whole year. The ones who truly have the roughest Christmas season in the land would be the victims of typhoon Sendong down in Mindanao. This event wasn't being expected by a lot of people since this time of year isn't really known for being a rainy period. God bless the people of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan.


Most of the time, we take for granted the things that keep us alive in our everyday lives. We tend to get too busy in our own endeavors and we don't mind the little things in life that make the world beautiful. Nothing will ever happen to us if we always take everything seriously. 


It's okay to be too busy because we have to be responsible. It's okay to be anxious because we have to live up to the standards. It's okay to be ignorant because some of us have better things to do. However, keep in mind that taking a time out is also important. Reflecting on the things that you have done for the day keeps your soul intact and full. Always try reflecting once in a while.


Until the next time.

Christmas 2011-Part 1

So it's already Christmas vacation and I decided to write a new post since I have a few things running through my mind lately. It's been much of a hassle because I really hate this kind of feeling since I don't get to focus or concentrate on the things that I should be doing. And the problem is, there isn't really anything that I am doing since it's Christmas break so all it makes me do is to think about it and think about it and think about it. One way I can go around this or get through this is of course, prayer. However, it just doesn't stop there since I don't really get satisfied so I push myself to do other things and try to keep myself busy so I get occupied. 


I once again bought a copy of GTA San Andreas so that the game will somehow be my "project" this vacation. I put in part 1 in the title because the highlight of my vacation just like any other Christmas vacation of mine would be the family Christmas gathering that we have every Christmas day. It starts off at around lunch time at Christmas day and the whole family just enjoys each other's company through out the day. It was sort of a sad Christmas last year because nanay wasn't home and she spent Christmas in Guam. This Christmas, what I really wish for would be to have a very happy family gathering. It's been a while since I can recall of us having the time of our lives all together and this year, we have so many things to be thankful for. 


So anyways, I shall be saving part 2 for the Christmas party so that I can be able to put in at least one of the pictures from the party. We shall be having some balikbayans over in a couple of days from my mother's side and I really hope everything goes well. It's been quite a while since I saw my cousins from that side of the family.


I really hope everything goes well this Christmas.


Until the next time.
