1:08 am - Pasko na
|
i was in Gateway today, doing some errands. Dante and i met Oneal in Fully Booked, and what did we find? Christmas cards, gift tags and note paper, on display on a table near the entrance. it's Christmas!
i love Christmas. i love buying gifts for the people i love, getting them things i know they will love, wrapping the gifts, meeting up with long-lost friends.
what i hate, though, is all the FUSS. i hate the traffic. i hate the crowds. i hate the mad rush to DO EVERYTHING NOW BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS. bah.
current mood:  busy

5:14 pm - a gift
|
i'm doing a bit of work now, a financial plan with insurance recommendations for a client who was born in Zimbabwe. his name is Paul, but his full name is Gift Paul. it's such a sweet name, a name only a mother could think of. he must have been conceived with such love and affection, for his mother to consider his existence a gift, and to name him thus.
it's like mothers here who name their daughters Precious. i don't think i'll scoff at that again.

9:57 am - Future Perfect
|
in high school, i saw Future Me as a globe-trotting magazine editor. then i went to college and took up Comparative Literature instead of Journalism.
in college, i saw Future Me as a funky, controversial instructor for the Department of English and Comparative Literature, College of Arts and Letters, UP Diliman.
as you all know, that didn't work out. i did work as a magazine editor after graduating, but i wasn't doing any globe-trotting at the time.
then i worked as funky publications coordinator at DLS-College of Saint Benilde, so i wasn't quite teaching English at the country's premier university.
then i worked for an IT firm as a project manager, and i saw Future Me as working there Forever, because i liked the work and the people, and i saw myself working my way up the ranks.
then that didn't work because i resigned, and now i work at home, at a job that pays better than any job i've held before, for less effort. and i do my bit of globe-trotting too.
and for many years, the thought of getting married and having a family was but a remote, unlikely possibility to me, something amusing to imagine yet neither planned nor particularly desired.
and now, looking at photos and blog entries from one of my oldest friends, and from her sister, i want nothing more than to marry Oneal and to have precocious children of our own.
it feels awfully silly, and just perfect.
current mood:  pensive
