Amazingly Me

In a tropical country like the Philippines, most of the time the air is humid and the climate is hot except during rainy season. Since I go to work 5 times in a week I am already used to waking up very early in the morning. At 7 am, the usual time I leave the house, the sun is already scorching hot, and you’ll be sweating profusely that early in the morning. But since November entered I noticed some changes, just this morning on my way to work, while waiting for my ride to work I felt a sudden gust of unusual cool breeze of air. As it touched my skin it made me shivered, made me smile, felt happy, a certain spark of joy bubbled up. Funny coz I can’t explain where the happiness came from.

Everywhere you go, the malls, offices, homes, even the streets are filled with decors, Christmas carols is in the air. In our house, not a single sign of Christmas can be seen or felt. We haven’t put up decorations since I can’t remember when. We’ve been too busy I guess, but it doesn’t mean we don’t celebrate that very important and meaningful event.

I think this year’s Christmas would be different and more meaningful for me. I discovered a lot of things about myself; I’ve learned so much, I’ve changed for the better I hope. That is so far the best gift I can offer to my family and myself this year. Although my Mom wants a baby from either one of us, hahahaha, I don’t think she will get her wish this year, not from me for sure.
