December Acts

Cash is easy to burn. 'Tis the season to be shopping but I'm glad I'm able to control my cashflow this month. Thanks to Mr. Kiyosaki and FM.

I wonder how a diverse mix of personalities that blend well together everyday end up forcefully bored this one December afternoon. It made me miss the halloween party we had.

Moving on, the next day's affair was pretty much the same thing. I keep thinking that if I were to handle the ropes, then people are more likely to enjoy their stay. It's hard but I really am backing off from partyplanning as much as possible.

This weekend is going to be a reunion for us. And the house will come alive once again but only for a few days since we'll all be leaving for Quezon on Monday.

Before the year ends, I've to ready myself for my friend's wedding on January 2. I'll be part of the entourage so at least I have a reason not to overeat this month.

I miss my nephews and niece but I'm glad that they're finally spending the holidays with their parents.

Christmas is for kids and for the elderly. And people like us, who are in between, makes the joy and excitement of the season possible.

Joyeux Noël et Nouvelle Année Heureuse!

Le Disciple Agité

One perceives the world through English eyes.

"trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters.."

Since all else are now globalized, I don't see why i've to remain cooped up in a fading colonial environment. Maybe it's my restless nature that thrusts me to explore new grounds, seek other 'truths' and of course, approach reality through a completely alien perception. So i welcome the wonders of IT, the radicals of art, and the boldness of expats.

I noticed how stubborn we were during our first few meetings in our French class.. how we insisted on looking at things through our brainwashed 'english' brains. It's a tough role for a foreign language teacher to set aside at least 20 years of 'english' training, while building foundations for a new language. There would be times that i'd feel lost and apathetic with the efforts, but eventually, our efforts prevailed.

I wonder how many more people are still surprised with the nature of my beliefs. The triviality of things.. ce qui est essentiel est invisible à l'oeil.
