Christmas Cold

I've been anticipating for Christmas day, a day for joy and celebration for the past few days. My voice turned out to be muffled out a little on the Eve of Christmas. I didn't think it would hit me the worse and it did on Christmas day when I came down hard with fever and cold.

Aw, these joint-aches, headaches, and feeling light headed was driving up the walls; and I was coughing up phelgms profusely. It had to be throat infection. Despite all, HF and I tried our very best to put up a very merry little Christmas for ourselves.

I bought us a little Christmas tree and had it in the living room where I placed her present under it. She hasn't done so and I presumed she's going to make a surprise about it 'coz we've been ranting about Santa Clause for the whole night. So I made a joke claiming that I saw 'something' that is not suppose to be there and I know that's my present. Obvious enough, she was playing the denial game with me on that, but I could already see that she's already uncomfortable but still trying to put up a good show. So I'll just wait till Christmas morning.

We roasted duck instead of turkey just to be different from traditions. Both are of the bird species; and it's easier to roast a duck.

On Christmas morning, sure enough there was my present under the tree. I couldn't express how happy I was mainly because my senses have been slightly numbed due to high fever and cold. We stayed indoor for the entire Christmas day. She took care of me and I to her (I tried).

The streets were very quiet and seemed deserted. I suppose many have gone back to be with their families. It has and it is truly a blessing to have both of us for each other. I love her dearly.

Over the Christmas and New Year

It is not uncommon to get asked for your plans over the Christmas as it is holiday season over here. Most people will be going away either back to where their family/relatives are or for a short vacation. All sounds like a perfect plan to find peace and ease away.

I do not have that liberty to enjoy good times like that even if it is Christmas and New Year's holidays. There is much to do. Univ's assignment is piled up on my desk and the deadline is January 10th 2006. Right after, we'll be sitting for our exams.

Come to think of it, there really isn't much time to play around until exams are over. Time to get back to work.
