Christmas Morning

What did I have for breakfast this early Christmas morn? Well, my mother left early because she’ll be helping my sister-in-law prepare food for well, today, since it’s Christmas you know. I’ll be following mom there in awhile actually; I just don’t really want to wake up so early in the morning. With my mother out of the house, I just had a glass of Milo (The Olympic Energy Drink), and some left-over Pringles from last night's DVD-athon.

I’m actually bummed because I have work today. Yeah, it kinda sucks. No, I ain’t bummed because I won’t be able to celebrate Christmas with all the gift-giving ceremony, listening to oh-so-cheerful carols and spreading the love thing going around (barf!). I mean, I have never really celebrated Christmas these past years. I know, I’m a bit Grinch-y. I can’t help it. Every Christmas season I always feel nostalgic, and irritated of something, I don’t even know of what or why. It gets worse when the New Year comes, so I am sort of expecting more melancholic and aggravated feelings to come.

Anyway, what annoys me about not being able to skip work today is that I feel like I am being robbed of a whole day to sleep and just be lazy around. I know, wrong mindset to be in.

And Merry Christmas to all!!! (or whatever..)

Alikabok

Nitong mga nagdaang araw, lagi kong naalala ang isang eksena na madalas kong nakikita noong bata ako. Napapagmasdan ko lamang iyon sa mga araw na mas nauuna akong nagigising sa mga kasama ko sa bahay. Naaalala ko, lagi akong napapatanga sa mga pagkakataong iyon. Tila ba ako ay nananaginip.

Ewan ko ba. Basta, kung marunong lang siguro akong kumuha ng larawan noong bata ako, nakunan ko na iyon ng litrato. Sa kusina ko iyon lagi nakikita. May sinag kasi ng araw na pumapasok sa aming kusina, tuwing umaga, mapapagmasdan mo nag mga alikabok na lumilipad sa sinag ng araw na iyon.

Paano ba naman kasi,tila ba nagsasayaw ang mga alikabok sa matinding sikat ng araw (Brownian motion). Naiisip ko noon na tila niyebe ang mga iyon at dahan-dahang bumabagsak sa sahig ng aming kusina. Ang kawalan ng direksyion ng bawat piraso ng alikabok ay talaga namang nakakamangha.

Kasi naman, ang mga alikabok, di nila iniisip kung saan sila tutungo. Kung anong direksyon ang kanilang pupuntahan. Kung saan sila babagsak. hindi nila kailanngang pumila o lumagay sa ayos. Malaya ang bawat butil ng alikabok. Lumilipad-lipad, paikot-ikot, at walang inaalala.

Sana nga tulad din ako ng mga alikabok na iyon.

Party

I've been busy (obviously).

I participated in our Christmas Party presentation, and well, it was exhausting.

The party itself... well, it was nice.

I'll post something 'bout it later.

Again

I can’t believe I‘m doing this again.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog entry and I must admit, I am feeling quite rusty at this.

So why took a long break from blogging if I like it in the first place?

I’d give a really generic answer for this one: I couldn’t find the time to write then, to maintain a weblog. Besides, I could feel my creative juices being dried up then, and a long break is necessary to replenish the well.

I hope I get to keep this one running this time. Wish me luck.
