Seasonal Post

Its about that time that people start blogging about the up-coming Christmas season. I hear radio stations playing the carols and the air at night is noticeably a lot more cool than usual. You can also see some stores and houses putting up decor. But despite all these signs and reasons for me to celebrate Christmas this year I am at as non-chalant as I’ve ever been. I enjoy work now more than ever but still I am not all giddy for Christmas. Maybe its the enormous amount of work staring at me, but like I said I like my work. So I don’t know what it is.

I like talking with people. If not for anything else, it serves as a reflection time for me. It makes me think about my life, thus so far. Over a cup of coffee, my favorite drink actually (Caramel Machiatto), I sat there staring into the faceless foot traffic. Every so often, locking my gaze unto a jogger who happened to be pounding the concrete for his/her health. I thought of the last time I actually jogged and why I did it, why I stopped, and would I ever start again. I just said “meh.”

As I let my coffee slowly cool down to a temperature that is actually drinkable without scalding my tastebuds, I kept thinking to myself how lucky I was. Here I am, loving my job, enjoying some little success, and yet I remain non-chalant. I remain apathetic.

It was a Friday. Astroboy wasn’t showing anymore. I really wanted to see it. Oh well… c’est la vie.
