Thoughts on my 28th
December rolls in and I’m instantly happy - for an entire month! I love this month. Not only because it’s Christmas of course but because it’s my birthday. Christmas in the Philippines is crazy-happy. Relatives come home, offices celebrate with parties and fat bonuses (yay!), people put up lights and decors on their homes and on the streets. Everyone just seems to be light-hearted and nice. And because it’s my birthday, they’re all extra nice to me. Heh! Seriously, I don’t think anything can dampen Christmas in the Philippines. I mean, just look at that foiled coup d’etat those soldiers staged in a hotel in Manila’s shopping district. They called for mass action against the government and people we’re like “Meh.. Sorry boys, we’re busy shopping.”
It was a good year for me. Passed the bar, traveled out of the country, finally went to Boracay, learned to drive, got promoted at work, and got a raise… What’s not to love?
As this is my very first post, I'd like to say hi to all those (yes all four) who friended me so far. Thanks for doing so even though my journal contained absolutely nothing, for all you know I could have been some crazed stalker or something. I appreciate that a lot.
Have a great holiday everyone. May you and your family make great memories this Christmas.
