... and a partridge in a pear tree


for the first time since i became single, i am actually looking forward to the holiday season.

everyone knows what Christmas does to single people like me. it's something that we dread.

the past 3 years saw me wanting to skip christmas. i am still alone now, but am no longer lonely. maybe it's because i am preoccupied with a lot of things: work, school, social life, plans of vacationing and even working abroad, and oh yeah, dating. okay, let's include flirting on the list. :)

but whatever the reason is behind my reformed attitude, i am simply thankful. i now have the eagerness of a child: all giddy and worry free during this time of the year.

sulking just because you're alone during the holidays is an absolute waste of time. it's Jesus' birthday for heaven's sake! we should celebrate it.

my only wish is that all single people be in the same happy disposition that i'm in right now.

i conquered my fear after all. i no longer cringe at the thought of Christmas. and i hope this will last.

next: overcoming the fear of Valentine season :P
