Is always the response you get after a long break/holiday. Initially I thought it was gonna be kinda tough adjusting to having my longest break in 2 years, adjusting to NOT waking up early, NOT sleeping early, NOT running away from bosses and clients, and NOT doing anything in the office.

 

The holidays started out pretty rough, with so many calls from suppliers, colleagues and clients giving little indication that I was on leave. However, once I started ignoring calls and "fucking it!", the calls came less often and only then was I able to enjoy a lil peace. Like I said, I thought it was gonna be tough adjusting to being on holiday, but I think it was the relief of finally being able to rest that made the transition easier. I practically go to sleep at 5am EVERY night and hardly ever saw the morning sun (unless its waking up to watch the NBA). My break consisted of mainly shopping, yumcharing, girlfriending, X-Box-ing, and Winning Eleven whooping. It made me reminisce about my much simpler student days where all I cared about was having fun.

 

 

Sighhh...

 

 

I thought after two weeks of freedom, going back to work won't feel that bad. Well, it actually made it worse. Not only am I wishing that I NEVER have to work, I've fucked up my sleepin hours so bad its gonna be hard to re-adjust.

 

 

Christmas is just 4 days away, and so far this year feels better than the last. Its been such an eventful year and I'm grateful for alot of things:

 

I'm thankful for being able to celebrate Christmas this year with a special someone.

 

I'm thankful for a bunch of amazingly crazy friends who've kept my life from being boring.

 

I'm not really thankful for the job I have now....but I'm thankful for having the option of looking for another job (soon!). However, I'm thankful for having a bunch of colleagues who makes a sad job at least more palatable.

 

 

 

I don't think I'm gonna be putting up anymore posts before 2008, so here are my goals for the new year:

 

1. Get the fuck out of this stupid job and get a new one with a new salary.

 

2. A new car (I know....its sad to say goodbye to the Nij mobile).

 

3. Attempting not to make work dictate my life.....trying to put aside more time to have fun while I'm still young.

 

 

and last but NOT least...

 

 

4. QUIT SMOKING (shut up! It may happen!).

 

 

 

 

 

Anyways, till next year, have a Blessed Christmas and wonderful New Year!

 

 

 

 

I've always enjoyed not blowing my own horn and telling people about my birthday, trying to keep it simple and a close affair with close friends. I didnt even wanna come out on my 21st, and i kept it simple (but drunk) last year at Bed. This year's celebration has been the most special one I've had in years, and in years counting my toddler days where my parents would celebrate it at McDonald's with Grimmace running around.

 

Special shoutout to Zen (love you baby!) for planning the whole 'kidnap' and the present which I have been longing for the longest time. Also to all who made participated and made the effort to come for the surprise party. Also to G for his Jordan All Star Game jersey as a present!

 

To all who wished me via sms, facebook or otherwise, thanks for remembering and thanks for the thought!

 

 

Here's to hoping there's alot of birthdays left!

It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
