so this is christmas…
December 20, 2006 – 5:16 amToday brings a ray of light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
I’m not anymore &!@^& off. In the spirit of Christmas, I’ve decided to take the high road. No more name-calling bitchiness, at least until somebody messes with me again. As you all know, I’m not the one to just take punches, roll over and die.
But I would just let people be themselves. If they want to &!@^& off people who are just minding their own business (like me), then, I’ll muster up my most famous “patience is a virtue” attitude. My motto for this Christmas is, “live and leave me alone”
On a more happy note, my chaddy is looking cute as ever. I will upload more pictures of him soon. He’s now 3 months old (his b-day is sep. 07) and just got his anti-rabies shots yesterday and also his vaccines. Didn’t go with him though when tatay brought him to the vet yesterday as I was busy wrapping gifts. Shots can be quite expensive, considering that he has to go back twice in january next year for his scheduled shots and the last one would be on may?. Don’t want to skip on those though, as I learned my lesson regarding tsai-tsai (the dachshund sha gave me) who died because she ate something when she got out of the house. I figure it was because she didn’t have any immunity coz she haven’t had any shots. It was pretty traumatic experience and one I wouldn’t forget. Uhum, still missing my kim too. whah… if only kim hadn’t died. xiani and chad are really getting along great (considering they’re they’re cat and dog). They would play with each and even lick each other’s furs. Would take a picture soon and show it here. forgive my pet-obession, that’s the closest thing to a social life that i could get… wink, wink 
Christmas is here!
I’m not really feeling it though. I guess it’s because the atmosphere is very different now. I’m now working and well, not really thinking about Christmas. It’s not like in the past when during these days, I will be at home being a couch potato and just hanging out and relaxing.
I feel though that I am getting the best bargain learning how to earn money now. I have not only developed a certain kind of responsibility, I think I’ve grown quite mature and independent. I’m also learning to just come out of my shell. Most of the time (especially in the past), I am always hesitant to be “friendly” with other people I barely know. I guess I could say that I was (and a bit still) shy. Now though, I know that I can’t be too walled-up. I have to learn how to adapt to different kinds of people and be open to more friendships outside of my friends from school. I guess I achieved it here. I also grown quite confident in dealing with other people and expressing my views.
Here’s a great example.
I had managed to ask for a christmas break from my client. It’s a five day break. And to top it off, I’m still being paid for that five-days of vacation. I’m still patting my back for a job well done… harharhar… Now, granted that my client is very lenient, kind and “cool”, I would still give myself a thumbs up for just taking the initiatve and not being shy about asking.
I’m quite happy with the result. Starting dec. 23, I will not be back to the office until jan 4. it’s almost a two-week vacation so i’m really happy.
This might be my last post for the year, so good luck for me on the next year.
