It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one! And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens. It will always give us what we need and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us.
Masaganang 2009 para sa ating lahat!

On the eve of December 24th, Sablayenos gathered inside the San Sebastian Church to witness the annual Christmas presentation, the Panuluyan.
Actually, it was a tradition. I remember, my classmates talking about it when I was still in grade school but me and my siblings haven't participated or even witnessed the annual Panuluyan during those days. My parents preferred to stay home and wait for the Christmas day with us.
 This year is my 3rd time (yes,only my 3rd) to witness the Panuluyan in Sablayan. And I was so glad to see my younger cousins played their respective roles. The one who played the role of Mary is my first cousin, Kaori. Joseph was played by another cousin Ej.Well, now you're having the idea that talent runs in the family, except me ata! Hehehe.
More pictures here.

Sana hindi na ako tumatanda... Para tuwing sasapit ang Pasko, makakapagsabit pa ako ng medyas at pag-gising ko meron na akong mga regalo. Sarap maging bata...--- But I have to admit, in one way or another, I still believe in Santa Claus. Maybe because, I'm a child at heart or should I say, I refused to grow up. But seriously, in this world of make believe, Santa Claus remains to be one the many reasons why I'm still patiently waiting for my Christmas wishes to come true!

This is one of the many reasons why I quit my job in the Middle East.
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
Salamat sa mga taong nag-set ng standards of what a workplace should be. To Doc Raf, Doc Joel, Mam Marvie, Mam Tonet, Mam Mars, Mam Luvie, Sir Dave, sa mga naka-trabaho ko sa Rizal Medical Center lalo na sa Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit, sa mga naging interns namin at sa mga naging pasyente ko at sa lumakaing pamilya ng Rehab Team, Maligayang Pasko!
Attending last night's Christmas Party is really worth skipping classes sa review center yesterday. Plus a got a cordless kettle and a Purefoods Ham. Hehehe.

This year is our HS batch 10th year anniversary. We had plans in our minds to celebrate our reunion as early as 1999 (Ask Roan or Rain)! Ngunit sa kadahilan na rin na may iba't-iba kaming pinagkakaabalahan, hindi naging maagap ang aming plano para sa nasabing reunion. May mga pagkakataon na napag-usapan na namin ang tungkol dito. But we did not come up with a clear plan on where and when to celebrate it. Ang dami kasing dapat i-consider. We wanted to check on the availability our batch mates who are based here in Manila and in our home province para mas marami ang maka-attend.
Last Saturday, my HS buddy asked me: "Sino nag-asikaso ng reunion natin? May dumating daw na invitation sa bahay namin sa Mindoro?" I was surprised kasi hindi ko talaga alam. I didn't have any idea just like any other batch mates present last Saturday's affair. Then came another HS buddy with an answer. He said that Batch 98 Reunion will be held on the 28th of this month, in some resort in our town. May nagpa-meeting na pala at may nag-mobilize na ng mga ka-batch namin para mag-asikaso.
Honestly, hindi ko alam kung dapat akong matuwa. Don't get me wrong. Hindi ako nagpapaimportante o nag-aastang bida. Sana man lang naisip ng kung sino man ang nag-organize ng reunion namin (Batch 98) na nandito sa Pilipinas ang karamihan ng mga orihinal na Batch 98. Dapat na inform man lang sana kami para nagtulung-tulong kami sa pag-organize at pag-dedesisyon ng reunion namin! Hindi namin natin kelangan ng isang magarbong selebrasyon. Ang gusto lamang natin ay muli tayong magkikita-kita, magkamustahan at magkasasamang magtawanan at balikan ang nakaraan.
Well, gusto ko lang sana i-remind na ako si Nathan, class president lang naman ng IV-St. Paul the Apostle Class 98. At tulad ng iba na hindi na-inform at wala sa "meeting", original member din ako ng Batch 98, hindi pirated. At lalong hindi adopted.
Respeto man lang sana sa mga tunay na Batch 98. Yun e, kung alam nila kung ano ibig sabihin ng salitang yun.
Aatend ba ako? Honestly, HINDI KO PA ALAM!
