torrential rain with a dash of grumpiness.
it's strange how life twists and turns and catches you by surprise and lets you down and creeps up on you while you're looking away, just to disappear the second you flick your head back to take a passing glance.
i don't know. it's been a strange couple of weeks. extreme highs- columbia and the $45,000 (an unfathomable amount to me, the money noobie) financial aid grant. extreme lows- utter disillusionment with w-o-r-k and domestic disputes. and everything in between.
now, christmas is looming and im attempting to look "on the bright side". after all, it's the saviour's birthday, santa's going to squeeze down my non-existent chimney and plop a pile of non-existent gifts on my bed and it's family time all-around, which ultimately means bad news, bad karma and bad headaches.
yawn.
it's definitely a whoop-dee-doo-dah time.
i'm looking forward to the 8 days leave i'm taking, however. i mean, hell, that's like paradise in my world of dreary office lights and butt-aches from sitting too long. don't really know what to do with it but i guess between spending time and spreading "cheer" with the Ans, the Mosbergens and the Thams, snoozing languidly for unethically long hours, cramming in the last-minute christmas shopping by weaving my way through rabid crowds in wisma or taka or -heaven-forbid- the devil's playground, vivo city.. i'm guessing i'll be pretty wiped out and the "holidays" will be ill-spent, unless i redeem it with some heavy-duty mambo-ing and happy-go-lucky shopping sprees.
well, there it is.
tomorrow, shuchie and i celebrate our 1 year anniversary. cripe that's pretty long eh. and despite a rollercoaster journey of screams, tears and heartfelt kisses, here we are, happy and strong.
i love you baby.
