So far, so good

The Christmas Season is starting to grow on me. Cold nights, crazy streets on a week day, rat packed malls and of course, parties here and there – with these happening, my self is definitely getting on to the Christmas spirit.

And now, I present you my schedule for the rest of this month. Ho ho ho! Things are quite hectic, yes!

Dec. 9: Whilst We Wait Exhibit at the Lomography Manila HQ

Whilst We Wait: A Project On Waiting

I think you should know that I’m still at the office (yes at 2:30am) preparing for this exhibit tomorrow (and yeah, writing this blog, heh). We’re all excited! And you are ALL invited to go! Mount Analogue will be playing an acoustic set so as The Strangeness, Slow Hello, Hannah+Gabi and Outerhope. See event here.

Dec. 23: Lomography Manila Christmas Party aka offset then buffet and drinks!

Dec. 25: Jesus’ birth, of course <3

Gaaah. Thinking of these events makes me tired already. But nah, it’s all good fun and parties like these only happen once a year. So why complain?

Anyway, I’ve got to go back to my cutting and installing of photos. It’s almost 2:45am and I need some sleep when I get home for the loooooong day ahead!

Enjoy the rest of the month, friends! Stay merry!

Hello, December

I find it strange when people post wishes like “Welcome December, please be good to me” or “Hoping December will be better than November” kind of thing. I don’t know, I just don’t believe in those kind of wishes. I’m a whatever-will-be-will-be kind of person, you see.

But with what’s happening right now, I should have hoped for a good December before November closed. Why? See I got the sickness today – a stiff neck and a sore throat. What a nice way to welcome December, eh? Just awesome. I salute you, self.

I hate having sore throats – no ice cream, no cold water, less talking, less singing. In addition, Mount Analogue has a gig this coming Saturday. Oh Lord, please help me sing.

As for the stiff neck, it sure was due to my stupid sleeping position last night. I remember the pillow being too high but since I was too sleepy, I didn’t give a single damn.

My faults, I know. It’s just that my current circumstances are too sinister for this festive month. But then I won’t let these circumstances (which could actually be cured) bring me down. There are more things to be grateful for than to be sorry with. And yes, this is my optimistic self talking.

…..

Here’s a funny occurrence today – Before I left home this morning, I got my iTouch and checked the time. It was 11:11am. I suppose you know that 11:11 wish thing people do, right? Well, you got it… Out of the blue, I made a random wish then checked the time again. I thought it was 11:12am already but lucky bastard me, it was still 11:11am so it was a valid wish.

The wish was really random. Personal, yes, but it wasn’t much of a big deal. I just wished that somebody would talk to me first. High school-y? Kind of. Sweet? I think so.

You see, I’m a small-things-count kind of girl. I’d rather choose someone who would remember my favorite color or message me good night than someone who would buy me flowers or flash me with a pogi car. Eh, it’s just the way things work for me.

SOOOOO, going back to that 11:11 wish, funny but it came true! Consider that it was my first time to actually do one. Sheer luck, maybe? Good job universe, then!

“Welcome December, be good to me”, “Hoping December would be better than November”, “11:11″ and all those wishes we painstakingly believe in. You could die wishing but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s your choice and it’s your belief. Maybe we actually wish in these ways to lead us to hopes of getting what we want or what we need? Maybe yes, maybe no.

As for me, I stand with destiny. Yes, forever I will be.

So to close this entry, have a happy December, everyone! Keep those wishes coming! You’ll get them eventually.
