Christmas

Long time no update. Finally. Had time to sit and write.

Got work during Christmas Day. I've managed to get a swap with my work mate. Traded my off for a saturday off which is 26.

When I was a kid i used to enjoy it. I experienced the traditions of Christmas like opening gifts and going house to house shouting "namamasko po!" with matching new dress and shoes. I will never forget the day someone commented how cute I was then there we so much air in my head that I accidentally stepped a dogs poo! Haha! Went home stinky with lots of money! I also went christmas carolling with the undying song of "sa may bahay". I remember my mom, pretending to be santa and buying us a big sock full of goodies; leaving with in our door knobs for us to see when we wake up then putting up christmas tree with all the gifts underneath.

I grew old then matured. As the years went by, Christmas seems to be gloomier and gloomier. Maybe because every year the cost of living is going higher and higher. I felt it. It went to the point of our house shutting up for good. The windows are close, the doors and my parents hiding from those pesky people who keep knocking. Since then i've lost interest of Christmas. It's like an ordinary day for me now. Now that I'm working I'm used to being away with my family. It's no biggie. Added the fact that I'm in the call center industry where we are not allowed to go on absent. I still do appreciate Christmas. It's the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and some get to spend time with their family, vacation and rest. Cold weather. And of course, parties! But me? I'm not really fond of going to stuff like that not unless I'm with a group of friends. I'd rather work and get paid double or simply rest. I believe in the saying that everyday can be Christmas day as long as you do good, love and give. Anyway, december 25 is not the exact date that Jesus was born. It was just set so that everybody will remember him. Merry Christmas! :]
