…it was the whirlwind quarter of the year.
In a heartbeat, I was warped into the world of sleepless nights wherein I just could not stop working, for it was the time of the year that I’ve been waiting for. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I loved the thrill, and I do love what I am doing, but this just happens all so suddenly once the ber months kick in. After my dancing on the thin wire act, I finally jump out of the game, jump back to my bed, and sleep happily ever after – well, at least, for a week. Though I would love to resurrect from the dead and just exert even a little bit, both my mind and my body create a rebellious duet that hinders me from doing any kind of work. I sink back to bed, crashing, wasting away in my voluntary exile, knowing only my bed, my laptop, and my HD with all the series that I planned to catch up with. Holiday favorites? Gotten obsessed with Modern Family ( cracked me up big time, I am slowly having that language sponge of me having Gloria’s accent whenever I try to be funny ), and Lie to Me ( oh, I just love looking at people! ).
It was only the latter part of the month wherein I truly felt that this was the month for festivities, as I had my mind focused on my list, and it was just great to breathe the air of the Holidays, with the chilly weather in Manila ( oh, finally ), spending some time with the boyfriend, seeing cheerful relatives, and most of all, cherishing my sister’s cooking. I swear, I would never trade my sister’s cooking for anything else in the world, she is just the best. Warmth came to me despite the chilly weather, with my family shedding off their hats, and just being a family, all together with our precious bonding moments. I consider myself to be the luckiest girl in the world having a family like the one I have now. I love my mom and dad to bits, as well as my siblings, with our good and bad times, weird, and funny moments, and even embarrassing ones. I was just so happy that I captured our Holiday memories in my new camera. I realized that photographs can never really capture that exact moment’s emotions running around, but they were enough to immortalize the moment, to evoke emotions and fond memories as keepsakes. Ahh, I will love my camera for a long time. I just hope that diligence would never leave me.
Now, all that I’ve told you about is just a memory, as the Holidays are waning off, it’s a bright, bright new year, and a great year ahead of us, and I can only smile on my whirlwind ber-months that just occurred. It’s still fresh in my mind, and fresh in my spirit, and as it wanes off as I move on to real-world stuff ( and not lazing around like what I’ve been doing this vacation ), I am much, much more energized physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I will definitely look forward to whirlwind quarter of 2011!
