i just realized that it’s now only 10 days before christmas and i haven’t had anything to say about it!  well, as i mentioned year in and year out that christmas is my favorite time of the year.  for me this is the equivalent of thanksgiving where i take the time to reflect, recognize, and honor people who have meant a lot to me during the course of the year.  as always, i have my list and i will be personally talking to them and give a little something in appreciation for what they have done for me personally or otherwise.  but just so everybody knows what have i been doing these past weeks since i haven’t posted since early last month, let me simplify it by using a checklist:

 

christmas shopping…  check.

work issues… check.

personal life… still zero, so check.

 

to sum things up, nothing new.  hehehehe!  but don’t get me wrong, since it’s christmas and it’s my favorite time of the year, i am still happy and looking forward to it.  i also realized that tomorrow is the start of the nine day novena dawn masses.  unlike last year, i’ll be able to attend and plan to complete all nine masses this year after a very long time due to past work schedules.  yet in the previous occasions that i have completed the novena masses, i haven’t gotten anything i wished for.  well, hopefully i’ll be lucky this year.

 

december is also the month where i post my reflections on the previous year and my christmas wish list.  those will be coming in the next couple of days since i have to make this entry quite short due to the need to get some rest in preparation for the first of 9 novena masses tomorrow which start at 4:30am.  i know i sound like a broken record in apologizing for not being up to date with my blog, but that’s something i’m working on and will be one of my focal points in my 2009 new year’s resolution.

 

i do hope all of your christmas preparations are also going well.  despite these hard economic times, i’m sure every filipino in the country is still looking forward to celebrating christmas in their own lively way.  after all, that what’s makes us unique with other people around the world during this time of the year.

 

enjoy the rest of the week everyone!!
