12 months.

52 weeks.

365 days.

That is all to complete the cycle. And a new one begins.

Cycle after cycle after cycle.

And I can only wish we can all learn from the mistakes of the past.

I am hopeful that the coming year is good. I hope that we can have a new start and forget and discard the wastage and excesses of the past year.

To all my friends and fellow bloggers......


Let us all look forward to a wonderful 2010.

A Silent Christmas

This is supposed to be a time for merrymaking. Christmas has been like a tradition to Pinoys , that we celebrate it the longest. The spirit is present everywhere - parties, food, decors, lights, sounds, children, gifts...

I do not know. Except for the decors I see in Makati, it does not even stir a bit in me. I like what I see because of the play of colors,or sounds. But that is just about it. No more. AH - the holidays - a respite from work. Kaya I can feel the Christmas spirit.

I have written little quips in my Facebook account. They thought I was just being creative. Little did they know, that I am actually being honest when I wrote those. Sometimes, it is eerie thinking that I can go against the grain - against the festivities that is supposed to surround Christmas. But I am bored. But I am relaxed.

Yes, a time for giving. a time for the follies. But a time for introspection as well.

well to each his own. Maybe I have stopped enjoying the Christmas festivities because it does not excite me at all. Maybe, I would have wanted just to have a silent Christmas.

Just maybe.
