Sordid, Trampled And Thrashed, Then Repeat Cycle
Sordid, Trampled And Thrashed, Then Repeat Cycle
The weekend is here at last. Where am I as of this writing? At work as always. Pathetic. VERY.
Barely three weeks before Christmas and I have yet to finish the Christmas Shopping and sending out of greeting cards to my relatives abroad. My brother doesn't care about these things. I never should have expected that he would take on the task even if he wasn't preoccupied with anything at all.
I'm hoping to do them all this weekend and then mail by Tuesday. Will it be in time for Christmas? Probably, but I'm definitely sending them out this year. Last year, Christmas was totally not the spirit in me with dad's recent passing. But it has already been a little more than a year and it is definitely time to move forward. Memories are there to stay and we need to live our lives as we never know when our turn to leave this existence would come.
Our financial status is in shambles. I am very thankful that we still manage to get by and live comfortably. Not everyone is that lucky nowadays with the kind of economy that we have. Poor people are getting poorer, and the middle class is has been wiped out completely according to global standards of living. Therefore, in Manila, you're either RICH or POOR.
I'm trying my best to get into the holiday spirit. Good thing that the company party is happening next week. I know that will boost my morale. I'm actually excited as I am going there in full costume as a Red Elemental.
Oh, and I've decided to sacrifice a little fund for myself and open a trust fund that I can use in the future. I can definitely never tell on until when I can earn money, so I decided to invest it on something I can reap in monetary terms that is.
So, I'm off. Its the weekend and its time to rest.
