Christmas 2013

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. i think i’ll keep singing that song in my head for the coming years thanks to last year’s carolling.

looking back these past few weeks, they were tiresome. they were less satisfying than i hoped—cancelled/compromised trips, less than spectacular parties, not so grand songs, embarassment. but it’s Christmas. it’s Christmas now and those downsides are over. it also does not mean there were no up times. there certainly were. there are even more granted prayers than mishaps in my life.

now we’re towards the end of the calendar year and it was certainly great. i really can’t find myself sulking for a year that has passed since the Lord keeps giving us all great years. for me, the best thing this year (although there are still 7 days left until 2014) is being inlove with Mhaelord from January 1, 2013 and certainly until December 31, 2013. it’s the first full calendar year i’ve been in love with someone and it’s simple great.

i pray everyone has a wonderful Christmas, a very happy Christmas.

it’s actually been more than 20 months

naka-20 na buwan na kaming kami pero yung sayang dulot niya, mula pa noong halos bago pa lang kaming magkakilala. bale plus 2 months.

sa loob ng dalawang araw, disyembre na. patapos na rin ang 2013. malaking bahagi ng taon, magkahiwalay kami physically pero parang naging mas-close nga kami. salamat sa skype.

ngayon, hindi na startup program sa desktop at netbook ko ang skype. tingin ko, transition phase pa rin itong mga araw na ito pero mukhang nagagawa namin nang tama. mapalad ako na hindi kontrabida ang mga magulang ko at magulang niya at kahit sinong tao sa paligid. ngayon lang pala ako nakaranas na walang kontrabida.

sa nagdaang mga linggo, sa choir at sa trabaho, medyo lumalaki rin ang mga responsibilidad. kakaiba, mas mabigat ata ang mga pangyayari sa choir. mabigat sa loob pero tiwala lang sa Diyos, maaayos din ng mga taong may kailangang ayusin ang dapat nilang ayusin.

at sa Pilipinas, kailangan ng konti pang dasal para makuha ng bayan ang lakas para maayos ang mga istruktura at damdamin na nasalanta ng bagyo at lindol. sakin naman, mukhang kailangan ko ng konti pang dasal para maayos ang sarili ko para mas makatulong sa kapwa.

kailangan ding matulog. susundo pa ako sa DLTB nang madaling-araw. aakapin ko ang isang taong bigay ng Diyos sa akin na nakapagpasaya ng nagdaang magdadalawang taon.

another phase in less than 3 weeks

in less than 3 weeks, my love will return. a new phase in our lives shall begin. it’s going to overlap with this current phase, though. i haven’t cleaned up what i have to, particularly, my room. i don’t think my room is much more orderly than it was a year ago. i’m not sure what i can do about it in the next 3 weeks.

as for the grander part, my life, my routine, my habits, i can’t say i’ve gone a long way better, but i have to give myself some credit. i continually feel better about myself and the people and things around me. this has been going on for a couple of years now and i do pray that it continues.

so october went by singing for the grand choir at UST and San Beda, jamming with thad and getting treated to hard rock with the rest of the 4 core KFC members, and some videoke sessions with SMC. the saturdays and sundays with and without choir practice were quite…i can’t find a word. it’s both good but could be bad but didn’t. oh well.

helping mhae and gen in their preparations for gen’s going to the netherlands was also fulfilling. and being part of mhae’s family touches a good part in my heart. gen’s with her now in europe.

as for my thec blog, the post intervals reached the danger zone and the pending articles are piling up. good luck. haha.

well, at least work isn’t piling up that much. after starting my small involvement in the airport project, we got the contract for the congress project. no more slow/no work. both good and bad again but we all know it’s got to be good.

and then the episode download finished. the new tv season has started in the US and Japan. i think i have 7 shows on my list. i really wish Philippine television was more organized. i have to give them credit for juan dela cruz as it did get me interested a bit. maybe also because my father enjoyed it during it’s run. i guess i get to enjoy what my father and my mother enjoy. simple bonding moments. yesterday was awesome because i got to have breakfast and dinner with them both.

and games, i think i’m getting chapters/levels done slowly. i look forward to those changes in chapters, levels, phases. there’s a sense of acheivement just like when i get to fix my room a bit. i can imagine the feeling of finishing these games i play and getting my room fixed. phases.

moving forward with life happily is how i’ll keep on living.

26/9 2013 and a tech blog

ngayon ay day 3 ng aming monthsary, calendar day 269, at unang araw ng tech blog / geekery blog ko.

hmm… ok din yung nakaraang mga araw. martes, hindi ako na-late tapos nakapangumpisal ako sa greenbelt. kahapon, bday ni mhae, hindi ako na-late, at nakasimba ako sa donbosco para sa bday ni mhae. kanina, hindi ako na-late, nabusog sa handa para sa bday ni buds nung lunes at bday ni mhae kahapon, at nasimulan ko ang tech blog / geekery blog ko. ito nga pala ang address: http://geekerymiddle.blogspot.com.

medyo kailangan ko lang mag-isip nang malalim-lalim sa pag-flashback ko sa august at september. astig, marami nga pala akong memory markers(?) sa pc ko—phone picture backups, sms backup, at email archive. hmm… gawan ko nga ng article sa techblog ko yun minsan.

31 days and i missed them all

it’s the 6th day of the 9th month today. that makes my august lookback 6 days overdue. and counting. well it was a lay low august. missed a lot of things that. gotta catchup.
