Complacency

All my life, I have never been ambitious — not in my studies, not in the workplace, not in winning awards/contest. I guess I lack that certain gene in my body. Oh, I have high hopes and dreams for my family, loved ones, friends and even for our country but none really for me. When you'd ask me, I'd say I like this and that. But I'd mean those halfheartedly. I want things, yes, but not enough to pursue it with zeal. If it happens, thank you. If not, it's not gonna leave me disappointed. I'm kinda complacent. In a way, I am easily contented. It doesn't take much for me to be happy (translation : mababaw ako). I guess that's it : I just want to be happy. Is that too much to ask?

Something’s wrong with me

I'm not normal

The Libra in Me

I don't wanna sound like a braggart but I give good advices. My friends and relatives say so. They seek out my advice when they have an important decision to make. They say may advices are sound, logical and reasonable. The problem is that I don't follow my own advices (note to everyone : follow what I say not what I do =oP) I know admitting that could damage my credibility but that's the truth. You might ask why I don't follow them. Because :

• in my mind, I could reason out against the advice I gave
• I cannot apply it my situation because it is more complicated (so I say)

In retrospect, the problem is not me not walking the talk but more on my being so indecisive.

T(he)-Bills

I'm now in charge of paying our household bills. I didn't know it was quite a lot (electricity, phone, cable, water, etc.) and I didn't know it was that expensive (we're talking about major moolah here and not just chump change). Paying these bills would make you think that I'd now be more prudent or frugal in using these resources. NOT!!! My reason : since I'm paying for it, might as well use it to my heart's content. But I can now relate when my friends gripe about the high cost of utilities. I admit, I'm domestically challenged but I'm learning — at least on the economics side of it.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..

My fave time of year is Christmas. I love it more than my birthday. Why? Because christmas is ….. well, CHRISTMAS! I'm not only excited by the actual day itself but also the days leading to it. If the current month ends with BER, it's a sign that Christmas is fast approaching.

I just love the smell of the cold air at night — perfect time to cuddle with someone.

I love the twinkling lights you see in the trees, houses and establishments. It brings back happy childhood memories.

I love the sound of carols being played everywhere. It puts me in a jolly mood.

I love giving gifts to my loved ones and friends. Shopping galore!

During the season, I've noticed that people become more friendly, considerate and kind. Now who doesn't like that? =o)
