FRAGRANCE OF THE SEASON

Christmas is almost over..and New Year is fast approaching. Christmas is the longest celebration in the country and the celebrations even extended to New Year's eve.
Have you sent your warm wishes to the people dear to you? to your friends? Our spirits rise as we breathe in the winter air flinging off our burdens as we step into the part covered with crispy brown leaves. When you look up into the blue sky you'll find a great big smile through the clouds.
As we are welcoming the 2009,smiles are what fill us with delight and bring us back to our good old days....in 2008.
On a crystal clear blue morning,there is a peace that only you can know...and everyone wish for that world peace in that coming 2009. Everyone is continually asking,what would be in store for us this 2009, since we are covering with tensions of that world crisis?
Looking back the 2008, it wasn't that blissful and prosperous year for me, but a sort of unfortunate and stressful life given to me.
Fear as we called it but 2009 is still an anticipating event that we need to know curiously. We need to shield ourselves whatever that adversaries would attack us somehow.
I wish everyone a blessed 2009 New Year.....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

It's Christmas time and the whole planet is celebrating regardless of religions,culture,and spiritual beliefs.Amidst of the world crisis,it never stops the world to celebrate because of its remembrance of God's birth,though its not the exact date of his birth Biblically.
People were busily shopping in advance to avoid the rush. Some may have contented of what is being around,and what is being given by the Almighty.Some were displaying different colors of light and Christmas trees earlier just to fill the air with warm of celebrations.
Some have just preferred their houses flooded with Christmas ornaments,some were reusing and recycling the old stuff just to be frugal of sort.
Others were spending the Yuletide season at home with their families, others preferred to be at their work..just like me.
Nonetheless,no matter how we celebrate it individually and geographically,what matters most is we are celebrating it because of God's remembrance of his birth not just because of the season.
I just wish that I can spend the season with my parents....its been 14 long years and is still counting that I haven't spent it with them. The atmosphere is quiet cool which the air is breathlessly blowing here and there reminding that Christmas is just around the corner now.
Wishing the world a Merry Christmas so as to my fellow Bloggers, frequent visitors and readers.....God Bless us as we are remembering Him this seasons of hope.

MY GROWN UP CHRISTMAS LIST

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

I just knew this song last year when a friend of mine shared this song by sending it thru bluetooth.The message behind the song was illuminating that soothes coldly to my heart specially this Yuletide season.
Christmas is the most Wonderful Time of the Year,according to Paul Anka's song, which is true.To be honest,I can't feel much the aura of Christmas since I'm broke and just started my class this Tuesday.We tried to convince the Koreans, to come back here to study English but they were affected of the crisis as well, that stop them to come.
The world is in deep crisis,how could you feel the essence of Christmas? Can you expect people to smile though life is tight right now? I believe people will still wear a smile amidst of the crisis,economically.Shopping malls are still filled with rat mallers and shoppers,busily buying gifts and food for Christmas.
As a grown up person,I have tried to list some of my Christmas wish list.The only thing that I wanted to have in life is a simple living with so much contentment.Herewith, are my Christmas life long wishlist this year;
1.Good stable paying job
2.Traveling/working abroad
3.gifts for my parents and hopefully see them this year.
4.reunion with my brothers and family
5.reunion with my classmates back in high school
6.to be financially stable
7.spiritually stable
8.health
9.to own a Mac laptop
10.to buy a C902 SonyEriccson mobile
11.a lifetime partner

Adults have Christmas wish as well,not just the kids.I can't wish for a world peace since it's prophesied by the Holy Scripture that in the end times world will be in chaos.Too bad,that we are in the midst of this turmoil which the competition is tough,no matter how good you are academically,yet,your diploma won't surely guarantee you of that good future monetarily.
I never have any wish for this year but that list written above..they might not be the complete lists but its just in my mind that is being processed...and considerably a lifelong wish list every Christmas.
