Christmas Season Is Almost Near

It's the first Ber month of the year, and before we knew it, Christmas is already fast approaching. I think I'm also starting to feel a little cold Christmas breeze now, although during the daytime the temperature can still go so impossibly high. And with the local FM radio stations starting to play Christmas songs and carols, there's no denying now the season is a mere three months away. *Sigh, I'm starting to miss My Other Half again:-(*

At school, we are already in the middle of the first semester of the year. When it ends come October, I still have 1 semester to go through. Just thinking of fighting the remaining months until I finish all subjects I had dropped many years ago, and graduate (am crossing my fingers here!) on April the following year makes me restless. I couldn't keep myself still. I keep on thinking of the next venture that I am about to undergo after graduating. Sometimes, the thought of going into a totally strange place and dealing with equally strange people and environment makes me nervous that in effect almost made me chicken out from my plans and goals. But I know I have to be brave, else, I wouldn't become the person that I should have been years ago. I couldn't let my fear and weakness consume me for the reason that I love my son, Yad, and my family so much that I am ready to sacrifice and do anything just so they would have a great and convenient life.

Now that Christmas season is almost here, I know it wouldn't be long till I accomplish those goals. Although at this time of year it always makes me a bit sad, because of the lost years and happy times, there is so much to hope for. In the past years, there were few Christmas seasons that brought me nothing but anxieties and depressions but I don't want to let that happen ever again with me. I am going to think of Christmas as a happy time when people are reunited, are giving gifts, are hugging and loving each other because Jesus Christ is now born to be here with us.

Hey, is it too early to greet you all a Merry Christmas?

'Coz, I just wanna wish that we all have a Christmas with so much love and grace.

On a different note, I want to greet HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY TO ALL GRANDPAS AND GRANDMAS out there! I hope you guys already gave your grannies little gifts and love. :)My grandpas and grandmas on both paternal and maternal sides have reunited with Papa God, nevertheless, I want to send to them my love and greetings. I knew they are just there watching over us, especially my Papay Onofre.

It's past my bed time already, so I am wishing you now sweet dreams tonight!

Ciao and goodnight!

Thank God My Fever Went Down Quickly

Thank God, my fever went down quickly after I've eaten this morning. So, as I have felt a little better after that, I thought there is no need to tell my family to send me to the hospital. Prayers work wonders, aight? But, of course, I still don't discount the fact that this flu might be something else. So come tomorrow, I will sure go to the school doctor and get a checkup. And tonight? I am going to start retiring to bed early and never compromise my health again. Thanks to people who have prayed that I recover quickly. Ciao!

Get To Know You Tag

Lately, I've been having fun doing memes. It fills in the gap when I have nothing to work on my blog. At least, with meme or tag, my blog is always updated lol!

Once again, Rizza, a co-blogger, tagged me with this one. Thanks, sis!

Here are the rules:

1. List these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

7 Facts you should know about me... Jirl

1 - WORK: I enjoyed my previous job as a web content/copy writer for years but came to a point when work seemed like it was suffocating and dragging me just to report to the office for five days a week.

2 - EDUCATION: Was supposedly a graduate some few years back, but due to circumstances, did not. So, I'm back to school now to finish the degree of BSCS. Still thinking if I'd take a double course after.

3 - FRIENDSHIP: I got a few true friends from work, a handful or more of super true friends from college, a couple or three super best friends since primary and high school, and a super trusted cousin/friend.

4 - RELATIONSHIPS: In a serious commitment now but we're supposedly on a "suspended state."

5 - WWW: The daily companion I can never live without.

6 - FITNESS: Fitness...hhmmm...When will I ever start going to the gym to tone my body?

7 - DREAMS: To have my own-bought home, a car, a dog, a cat, and a bowl/aquarium with my pet fish. I'd also want to settle with a happy, contented, comfortable life with my hubby and children.

Now, it's time to pass this tag. KR, Mayan, Lyn, Yona, Peach, Sally, Ryan.

Wen Told Me To Beat Irresponsible and Slothful Ways...

I feel bad today. I didn't attend all classes for this day. It was not my intention, but this morning, I didn't notice time was clicking quite fast. I woke up at 7:45AM, one and a half hours before my first class of the day. But before I went out my room to prepare, I went online to work on a post thinking I could finish it for like 10 minutes and still have enough time not to be late. I was so engrossed with it that I didn't even bother looking at the clock. When I finished, darn, it's almost 9 in the morning. Since I knew I'm gonna be late for the class, I decided not to attend. Instead, continued working with my blog and thought of attending my second class, which is at 1:00 in the afternoon. Two hours before the time, I got up from my desktop to take a bath, eat lunch, and get dressed. I was able to finish at ten minutes before 1:00PM. I was on my way out to take the ride to school, but lazy me strikes again! I didn't even reach a quarter of the distance from our house to the rides' location as I went back home because I can't bear the temperature. It's so hot, I almost wanted to cry because of the discomfort. So, again, I did not attend the second class and decided I will with the third one, which is at 4:00PM. But at exactly 4:17PM, I'm still here in my front of my desktop. Obviously, I've no desire to get up and go to school. I'm feeling really low because of my irresponsible and slothful ways:( I want to finish my degree this school year, but I've been committing absences lately. I remember Wen, a close friend and former officemate, now. She used to tell me to fight these attitudes of mine, because in the end, it is only me who's gonna decide what to do with my life. I miss you, Wen! How I wish we could meet one of these days.
