Christmas is Over

:D Things happened, praise God for that. Something really really good happened, and I'm really happy about that (can't say it though, it involves others).

It's the new year again, and I'm older. Oh man now I understand why ppl say time passes so fast. Had a fun time yesterday, some friend came over and we went to the park and played freeze and melt and we played this impropto thing where we all stand on the seesaw and just move around. Haha!!

Christmas eve was really good. But Christmas Day was even better. Something good happened. Praise God. (: AND!!! That something's going to happen again!! WOOO!!!!

Next year am hoping to go to ITE or a school for baking. ITE almost everyone will look down on me, but my mum told me it's the best place to learn baking, or I could go for a baking school but that would cost more than ITE.

Christmas Tree

Today the Tree came. Still wondering bout the name. It was supposed to come from 9 to 12, but it came at 135. Nothing wrong with coming late. Except that this is a tree, and the truck that it was carried in was not air-conditioned, and the cut that you have to make in order for the tree to take in water had been made long before it was delivered.

This means, the tree spent at least 4 hours in the truck in the sun, meaning heat, meaning water going out, meaning the tree goes brown. The cut has got no use at all because you're supposed to put it into water in an hour after the cut, so we've lost some height of the tree, and the tree isn't taking in any water right now because there wasn't any time today to make a cut ourselves, so the tree loses water and there's a higher chance of the tree dying before Christmas.

BUT! It's a good tree, I went out and came back and I COULD SMELL THE PINE. Oh man I just love the smell of pine. It's still tied up though. It can be let down once we make another cut. Height isn't really important. But you know, if you can have a tree, it's one of the times you can't really screw up with it, so you want the height to be the same, you want it to have a good shape, not to bushy, NOT bare, all just a matter of taste. But I like the tree, it's finally here! and Chirstmas is on it's way.

2008 will become 2009 soon, another year will pass, and life goes on.

BLEH!! That's so soap-opera!! But life goes on! The tree will look good. Why? Because it's in my home that's why. It'll be our tree for the time being, and it'll be where we hide loads of stuff in it, and we'll have loads of fights about whose turn it is to put up the lights and deco. It's our tree and it's the best tree. HA!

Christmas

Exams are over!



Christmas finally is here. The shops kept broadcasting it in November to catch the November paycheack, so Christmas is all around... yet it's, not. Haha!



We've got our Christmas tree! WOO!!!! AND! It's not too early or too late to get one. It's big and bushy. Haven't thought of a name for it yet though. It's arriving today! On a Sunday! Yes, it's done all around the world, everyone has done it one time or other, but I find working on a Sunday just plain wrong. So thanks to those who work on Sundays.



This morning, while it was still dark, the Newspaper Man drove up, so you know, everyone says hi and smile. And he says hi and smiles back. Then I shout HI! and he laughs! So nice to make someone laugh. Haha!!



Oh man so many things have been happening. I was just at a camp and now I'm going for another. COOL!! I haven't gone for two camps so close to each other before. :D



I haven't sat with my family for mass in a while now. I've been in a ministry that helps out with the order of the mass, and when I'm serving, I can't sit with my family because I need to be at a particular place, and they can't sit with me coz we need a long chair coz we're so big, and where I'm sitting, the chairs are short. So yup. It;s kind of hard coz I can choose to look at it like God doesn't want me to sit with the family (and I know that's not what God wants), or I can choose to look at it like, if I'm going to do stuff for God, there'll be many things that I must drop.



I suppose I could look at it like another test that God has for me, or could be the devil trying to make me think that God doesn't want me to sit with my family. Whatever happens somehow or other God makes a way.

SO! Christmas coming along!! Get to go for midnight mass! Get to spend time with my family too! Oh man the year has been so long. But time flys like donno what man. HAHA!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN ADVANCE!!! :D
