Family Ties

Crap...

I long to escape in my books where I could get lost in the characters, in the thickening plot, and the happily-ever-after ending.

What brought this on?

The holidays, makes me think of families, mine in particular.

I feel. (bloody hell, that's the problem. emote)

A Christmas Song










Bago sumapit ang Pasko

Namimili ang Mommi ko

Ng Magandang Regalo

Para sa araw ng Pasko


At itong aking Daddy
Gumagawa ng Christmas Tree

Sasabitan ko naman
Ng laruan at mga kendi


Sa iba't ibang kulay

Nitong Ilaw ng Christmas Tree

Lalo lang nagniningning
Pagsapit ng Gabi


Ang Magandang Christmas Tree
Natutuwa ang marami

Lalo na't patay sindi

Ang ilaw ng Christmas Tree

Ang ilaw ng Christmas Tree



This song was featured in the recent Jollibee commercial. It took me weeks to remember the whole lyrics and I don't even think I got it all correctly. Happy Holidays!

Complicated: Complications

Just able to breathe normally after weeks of tumult and tempest (such dramatics is called for, trust me.)

Now, about the three stooges who are leaving. JJ is off to start a new career, in sales perhaps. Marie is off to reunite with the love of her life abroad and Emily heads off to greener pastures, not to another company yet.

I have vastly recovered from the shock and the complications arising from their departures so that is all I have to say on the subject.

I was feeling panicky yesterday because I am to deal with so many things all at once but have yet to start any of it and time is running out in a sense, the holidays are next week and I have to go back to my hometown. I was wondering how am I supposed to work during the brief interlude. I have downplayed the holidays this year so I am not in a celebratory mood at all. My optimism is at the minimum. I'm excited by ideas not even related to the holidays. Bummer.

I tried to read in the jeep enroute to work, only to be frustrated by my thoughts! I read with my eyes so it was really noisy when my brains (or whatever the correct term is) is reading out loud inside my head. I have to shut the book and inadvertently listen to another passenger going on about herbal supplements. Annoying, creeping thoughts!

2009 is two weeks away. What will the new year hold for me? Focus and Balance! That's on the top of my wishlist. for me to do anyway. I'm expecting (like 85% success) to receive my xmas wishes, if nobody's giving me anything, I'll buy them on my own anyhow.

Leon S. Kennedy is my flavor of the week. hehehe.. So tough guy. stuff of novels without the mush. Oh, and the color of the text, it's a dedication of some sort to Cecee. She's having a baby.

Got to go. The internet's about to phase out, again, as usual.
