Is it December already?
The past few months have been really hectic at work so I do apologize to all the three readers I have for the lack of posts. There wasn’t anything much to blog about anyway because short of “I’ve been working late again”, there really isn’t much more happening in my life. Thanks for asking anyway.
I’ve never been happier at work. Really.
I embarked on a new position in the company in September and despite the longer hours, I’ve never regretted a moment. There’s a big difference in working your butt off and working your butt off and feeling appreciated. The difference is abundantly fulfilling.
December is my favorite month. It’s short because of the holidays and it’s a month where you make lists – christmas shopping, dinner menus, new year’s resolutions. I’m a big fan of lists because it gives the illusion of order. It’s almost as if feeling organized in your thoughts and to-dos will help you achieve them. (But we all know most never tick off everything in our resolutions.) Nonetheless, its probably my Virgoan nature that drives me to the brink of full-blown OCD. Lists are a must.
December also means the weather is cooler. Rainy wins blisteringly hot anytime in my books. It poured again in the early evening. And as I looked out the window, I let out a loud sigh. December is here.
December also means I get to torture my family with my cooking. In 2006, it was Roast Chicken with Chorizo. 2007 was Lucky Ducky. This year, I get to carry out the torture at my sister’s new place as I promised to help break the kitchen in.
December this year is slightly different as I’ll be heading to Taiwan for a short break. I need to recharge my batteries after a few hard months and I can think of no better way than to hit the night markets to devour the greasiest, unhealthiest food ever prepared by man.
December is going to fly by and then it’ll be 2009. I’m looking forward to the new year because other than the past few months, the earlier part of the year was terribly difficult. I was plagued by wave after wave of unhappiness in many areas of my life. But that’s another post altogether. It’s December now, so I should embrace it.
What’s your December looking like?
Lists are a must!!!1!1!!
haha. ain’t it nice to know you have three regulars!
lists? i’m an “orderly” person, so i have lists from Jan thru Dec! i love the general festive atmosphere in Dec. this is the only season i tolerate crowds but it’s increasingly more difficult to shop and eat anywhere anymore. for some strange reason Dec makes me want to shop! all the advertising must be working or maybe it’s a herd syndrome. generally Dec makes me happy!
List for every month??!? Impressed.
Do you even have a list for your lists?
There’s more I need to learn for sure. Ahh, time to make another list for that.
