christmas is just around the corner so to speak. and to discuss it further, it would all sum up to
let's-just-have-a-merry-christmas, right?
first of, i'm happy that my bestfriend and his family is here in town to celebrate christmas with their folks. plus plus their bundle of joy :) welcome back 'tol!
back to my office, we're having these series of christmas parties, we call it appreciation dinner parties with our banana growers and partners. it actually started early this week until next week. that's every other day except on weekends. whoah! roasted pig everywhere! :D it would be a bad idea to schedule a diet this month. hmm maybe i'll re-schedule it next month.
oh yes, i'm pretty serious about getting fit. had to loosen up a bit. maybe 20lbs less, that would be great for my body. so help me God.
gifts, ahhhh...let me count one, two, three, four....hmm...i suppose i have more than ten godchildren, nephews, and nieces. oh my goodness! i think i'll start window shopping this weekend to check out
nice-but-cheaper gift items for them. hey, what about my gifts??? for you to find out the things i like, check my wishlist sometime soon here. :D
going back to my topic, what should be done to achieve or experience the spirit of christmas? or maybe, what's spirit of christmas by the way? is it the joy of gift-giving? the act of forgiving? or just plain and simple act of reaching out to friends and families whom you haven't spoken for so long because maybe you had a terrible fight, old grudges, that ol' feeling of being hurt and hurting back as well?
i'm not good at this any how, nevetheless, for me, i think what should really be done to have a spirit of christmas is by merely being happy inside out. be optimistic, and be forgiving. throwing away but learning from the sad and painful memories. being sensitive but never missing out any opportunity to ask forgiveness to the people whom you have hurt in more ways than one.
be worry-free. having a light heart makes you appreciate how beautiful life is. take a good look around you. isn't it amazing how you got such nice friends. wonderful family and everything there in between? truly you're blessed...you're loved.
....what's really my point here...(???)
just be happy okai? who the hell cares anyway! duh!
