Busy

I have been really busy these days. I've never been this busy in recent times. Hahay, life!

I teach 9 classes at school then I have to go home every weekend. This semester in particular is busy coz of the Christmas holidays in it and due to the fact that I went to Manila during my semestral break. I never felt any break, huhuhu!

Another thing is that I'm trying to write a proposal for a possible PhD in UU. Have been really busy the past 2wks I never got to revising some of it. Actually only a few corrections are needed but then, things have been really hectic at school --I was asked to join the CAS Faculty Choir this year. Practice mi till 8pm or sometimes even later.

Then my sister is coming home on the 14th pohon. I have to prepare the house coz 2 of our friends are coming over. Hay, when will I ever have time to breathe???

Good night, everyone!!!

Christmas 2011

I've only had 3 Christmases outside the country --in NL in 2000 where I saw snow for the first time in my life, in SG in 2005 and in PP in 2009. Christmas 2000 was with the Pinoys ila Jun and Jenny sa Sunneke. They gave each of us a poinsettia as Christmas present. Then on the 27th mn siguro to we left for our Italy trip na. Christmas 2005 I was in Singapore alone. I distinctly remember that I received my letter for academic warning on the mail just before going to church. I went for Holy Mass at the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd in downtown Singapore on Christmas Eve then I took the bus home. Si Bishop Nicholas Chia officiated the mass then. The next day I went to the NUS Computer Centre but closed mn diay kay holiday lagi ang Pasko. I got a message from Ate Gigi then on the bus home. When I got home in Clementi, I think I slept lang and I woke up to Preeti's call. I went to Harbourfront in the afternoon and Yuka called me up then. There was an adolescent Singaporean diay nga namaligya ug ice cream coz they are facing financial hardships daw. I admire that kid; I do hope he's successful now. Christmas 2009 I was with our Pinoy barkada in PP. We had a very nice Christmas party in school also. Nalingaw jud ko atos apple-eating contest. I was wearing my green dress then nga naay lingin2 :) This Christmas was different from all the others indeed. Coz I got so busy in preparation for my visitors' coming, I got sick before Christmas. Sila Janet and Dexter mn to ang nangari. La koy nasimbahan sa Misa de Gallo. Mao ni ang panahon sa Sendong (Washi) in CDO. I bought my HP Note this time pud nga dihay pakapin nga payong. That laptop would eventually be stolen in June 2012 with my Sun broadband stick kay busy lagi ko kaju atos padala nga land title ni Lorna Amrinto. Kay nangutang mn sila diris Pinas nya akoy gipautang in their name. Never again n jud ko lagi ato. And then Christmas just came and went just like that. Till next Christmas. Good luck, Doki! :)
