Christmas is a time to make joy and happiness aboundThat Christmas Day
I had a very stressful shift yesterday which really drove me dead in my bed. Been sleeping for hours now and it makes my head boggled with
so much ache not to mention the body pains I get for over sleeping. I wanted to stretch out but my body felt like sleeping some more however my mind says I should wake up now and eat some
healthy breakfast. We are 3 in the room, me and my sister Lei and our roommate Ron. I knew Lei is not around for she went home back to Negros already so it did not surprise me that the bed right
next to mine is just plain empty bed sheets. I switched positions and or turned over to the other side of the bed only to find out that Ron is also not around and has gone home to Dumaguete already
for the Christmas holiday. I was alone at that point of time. I searched for my mobile phone. Finally got it, stuck bellow the pillow that I used for 'tanday' purposes. I pushed on a key on the
device and was astonished by the immense light it blurted out which struck directly on my wearisome eyes. While gently scrubbing my eyes with my elbows, I checked on whether I got some sms or mms or
maybe a missed call or something. Got 4 messages and no missed call, hahaha. A message from Mamang, and 3 messages from my gilrfriend that is. Opened them and read them one by one and when I got to
the last message, I hit on the button for reply and I was lousily typing and after I tried sending it, that's when I come to realize that I got no damn pre-paid credit on my account anymore. I knew I
still have around 20 more texts left but then again it was only good for 24 hours and so fine, it was back to zero balance now.
So I got my bed, pushed on the walkman button on my phone and started playing my favorite songs. It played the song 'two less lonely
people in the world' by air supply. Damn, I truly love that song. I just downloaded it lately from limewire because I just simply love it. You know that thought when you feel like
you're alone and your just simply down and you get to see another person who also feels the same then you like find each other cool and then you get to be in love with each other. Gosh! It's a
terrific scene of being broken hearted and moving on and loving again. Well so much for that song, I actually find my self standing in front of our life size mirror now while trying to sing along
with the music. ""Two less lonely people in the world, and it's gonna be fine. Out of all the people in the world, I just can't believe you're mine. In my life where everything was wrong, something
finally went right.And now there's two less lonely people in the world, tonight...." Darn that song, it really makes me sing it. I'm wondering when that lonely girl would come my way. hehehe **peace
out baby, heheh mwuahhh**
After the song ended, I rushed to the comfort room and made myself free of the fluid containing water and dissolved substances excreted by
the kidney, or in simple terms, urine. ahahaha. I went to the mirror again and in front of the mirror was our cute little Chinese calendar. I then said to myself, "Great! Today is Christmas Day!'.
Something so very special for all but seemed to be just a part of my routinely work days. I suddenly felt a little grudge on my tummy and I realized I haven't eaten breakfast yet before I
went to bed. So I cleaned up my bed, took a bath and changed clothes and went outside the room to find for something to eat. There were so many people outside. Tables are laid out the side of the
street with some bottles of beers and platters of food on top of it. I rushed to the nearest Karinderia and then, BANG, it's closed!. I went to the other side of the road only then to find out that
everything is actually closed. There was only one little store opened that does not sell any kind of cooked food but just some dry goods only. I got no choice. I am already starving. I thought of
going to the mall (SM) to eat but I would have to take one jeepney ride first before reaching there. So I went to that store and looked for something that can somehow satisfy my starvation. Got
nothing else to think of but PANCIT CANTON. So I bought a couple of those and a bottle of Pepsi. I also passed a nearby bakery so I bought some pieces of bread. I went back to my room and cooked
the pancit canton and ate it with the bread and my softdrink. As I was to chew the last string of the pancit, to bite that last piece of bread, to sip the remaining liquid of my softdrink bottle,
that's when a little funny thought came to my realization. Then I let out a heavy sigh and said silently, "It's Christmas day today and, wow, I'm eating pancit canton and bread!".
Anyhow, I told my self that it wasn't a bad day after all. Yes, I went to work today, I am alone in my room and I am
just eating pancit canton. But I think I should be looking on the bigger picture, aight?. I had a 3x pay for today's work, I was alone but basically never alone for God is there and at
least I was able to eat something rather than eating nothing at all! It was indeed my first time to spend Christmas alone and I should say that it's quite worth the experience. Not to mention
that very nice nap I got after that sweet little meal.
Sometimes we tend to think that we are really unfortunate in life. We curse life sometimes for it seems unfair and unjust. We start to
boggle our minds with all the bad and negative things that are happening and we start thinking that life is not worth it so ending it up at some point would not really matter at all. Isn't that
pathetic and childish? Life is so precious and all we need to do is look on the brighter side of it. I not talking about this thinking that I'm also trying to end my life just because I ate pancit
canton during that day but basically all I'm saying is that we should also learn to appreciate little good things that are blessed to us.
Well that's what happened on my Christmas day. Belated Merry Christmas everyone!
