Weird greeting.
Anyway, I just wanted to greet each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas. I know, I know. I don’t have gifts to give right now. I was like kinda busy for the past days - I’m helping my dad in his paperworks. Imagine a nurse doing engineering stuffs. I was like, “Holy smokes! What the heck is this?!” They say that nurses are not good in numbers. Different for me. I love Math. I love Physics. I love Chemistry. They are like my bestfriends when I was in high school and college. Haha. Weird me. I even got disappointed when I got 1.25 in my Math when I was a college freshman. I was like aiming for 1.00 as a gift for my dad. Unfortunately, I didn’t get it. On the other hand, I was able to show him a flat 1.00 in my Chemistry. I told you. I am so weird. It’s just that I am more into analysis than memorization. I hate memorizing. I’d rather compute a math problem than memorize all those medical stuffs. I wonder why I finished my degree with this “I Hate Memorizing!” in my heart. Haha. Well, the things that I really find it weird in my dad’s work are those terms. My dad’s one of the engineers in DPWH. And the one we’re working on right now is this bidding thing for the bridges to be reconstructed or repaired. I can’t forget this term, BITUMINOUS. Haha. What the heck is that? Well, if an engineer would work on Nursing Care Plans, I am sure that he would prolly get windang with our terms too. My dad would probably say “Leche! Ano tong ecchymosis na ito?!” Haha.
Some people doesn’t feel the Christmas atmosphere. Is it because of the climate or it’s just that the true meaning of Christmas is already fading?
What is the true meaning of Christmas, anyway? Share your insights, my dear friends. And oh, is this year’s Christmas different from the past Christmas’s you’ve celebrated?
As for me, I think it is. Mixed emotions, perhaps. Sad, frustrated, and pissed but I didn’t mind those negative things. I just concentrated more on the good ones because I don’t want to ruin my day thinking of those things. It would just waste my time.
I am glad that I have finally reconciled with some of my friends I had conflicts with. I think that that is one of the true meaning of Christmas. To love and to forgive. The priest’s message in his homily was beautiful. He said that the perfect Christmas is not a material thing but giving yourself to your family, friends and even to those people you don’t know like those who are needy, who are suffering, who are oppressed and who are unfortunate.
When I got home, I texted everyone in my contacts (siyempre yun mga nakaGlobe diba? Lol) and told them that I am asking for forgiveness if ever I broke their heart or caused a lot of damage. I also thanked them for all the wonderful things that happened. I texted those who unintentionally hurt me. I even texted her. I am not expecting them to forgive me right away nor receive a reply from them. I just wanted to say sorry SINCERELY.
I’m happy because I celebrated my Christmas with my family, friends and him. It’s our first Christmas together. I called him at exactly 12am and just greeted him a Merry Christmas. I prepared something for him by the way. It’s like a game/a maze/a puzzle - whatever you call it. We started the game at 2 am. He stopped first because the “kasabwat” is already sleeping. I am glad that he liked what I did for him. He isn’t finished with the game yet. Haha. He still got a lot of stations to go to. Harhar! He was like so excited to end the game just to get those messages I prepared for him. At first I was so anxious that my plan wouldn’t work out… but it did. Thanks to those friends of mine who helped me do this. Although it isn’t done yet, I still want to thank you for supporting and helping me with this “game” plan. He even saw my announcement in my Teentalk thread. I was asking for help there kase. Grabe. That was so embarrassing!
We both slept at around 4:30 am. It was already late but he called me. And we finished our phone conversation at around 4:15 am (because my dad caught me!). It’s really touching that he always stay up late just because of me, spend his credits to call me or just to hear my voice, wait for me while I am doing something, understand the situation I am into, lift my spirits up, sing for me, comfort me when I am really sad, support me in my plans, and the list goes on and on and on… Hay, I am so thankful for having him. I am just so lucky and blessed. He’s like one of the best Christmas gifts I have received. Really. I am not really into material things although I admit that I still have this materialistic side. All I want this Christmas is just to be with those people I love, value and care for.
I still have a lot of kwentos about us but I’ve decided not to tell it all here. I made this account exclusively for those stories. I’ll just post the link when I am done with it. You may visit it if you want to. Haha.
So there. I think I am done. I have no more to add. And oh btw, thanks for those lovely gifts. I do appreciate it. It’s a shame that I don’t have something for you guys. Can I just give you a kiss and a warm hug? -hugs so tight and kisses forehead- There you go. :) Hope I made you smile.
I remember something. I want to thank YOU, my readers. I really appreciate your comments although sometimes I fail to reply to each of them. I just want to thank you for having you too. For being there from my stay at maldeetuh to, here in, nursecissism. It’s nice that I get to share my personal life with you, my insights, my opinions, my frustrations and a lot more. And I love you for that. I really do! Thank you for becoming part of my nursecissistic life this year 2006. You were there during my ups and downs. Thank you so much. May God bless you always.
So that’s it.
Bye 2006 and Hello to 2007.
PS.
Change that title to Happy Christmas!!

Uh-huh. Gee whiz. I hate the maths and the sciences. Although I’m quite good at them. But Chem and Math are somewhat about memorizing. Memorizing those frigging formulas. Boo. That’s why I’m into writing.
I can’t feel the spirit of Christmas simply because there is not spirit of Christmas this year. I don’t have to explain.
We’re all blessed with family and friends though. :D
Anyway, Happy Holidays! :) Be safe always, okay? By the way, I’ve moved to my new domain. If it isn’t too much to ask, please change my link. Thank you so much. =)

hi ate!! hope you had a very happy Christmas!
for me, the true meaning of Christmas is almost just the same as yours: forgiveness. but I think i never had the chance to feel that this Christmas. kasi yung taong hihingan ko ng patawad eh di ko macontact…mahabang storya…pero kahit ganun, at kahit ito lang talaga yung hiniling ko for Christmas, masaya pa din naman…sobrang busy para malungkot…siguro kailangan ko na lang mag-intay para sa susunod na pasko…
ibang iba toh sa pasko ko last year…kasi last year, napakasaya…tipong wala na kong mahihingi pa…kasi bago mag pasko nakasama ko sya…

I’m helping my dad in his paperworks. Imagine a nurse doing engineering stuffs.
I’m actually doing that as of late. Paperworks, calculations, engineering thingamajigs like all those construction materials and drafting thingies. But replace nurse with biologist. And add to that the fact that I get paid with cold cash. I’m such an extortionist, I know. Hehe.
Oh, and I heart Chemistry to bits, too. I dated it in high school, got engaged to it in college, and probably be marrying it come med school years. Chem and I have a very intimate relationship. Hee hee.
Happy New Year! :-)
