Christmas Escapade

A friend of mine said that if you do not enjoy Christmas, probably you are either getting old or you don't like Christmas at all. In my case, it's the former. Because every Christmas, I get older. Figuratively and Literally.

A lot of people said that I am lucky because Jesus and I have the same birthdays. It's true that I am grateful that my birthday falls on Christmas. But when I was child, I didn't like that idea. For one simple and greedy reason: I only get one gift for Christmas and my Birthday. It's like 2in1 package. Hahaha. Sometimes I get jealous because my siblings get gifts on their birthdays and they also receive gifts during Christmas. So in a year, they get two. Unlike me, I only have one present. Huhuhu

As I grow older this year, I am still learning the lessons of life. Like patience. I ask the Lord to bless me with the gift of patience. I still remember when I was in grade six that my teacher said I was irritable. She said probably I didn't eat my breakfast that's why I became irritable. hahaha....Maybe....

I also ask the gift of wisdom and knowledge so that I can teach my students well. I am not after the fame, but I am after their success.How I wish that 20 or 40 years from now, my students can still remember me as a good, as an excellent teacher. Seeing them successful in their own lives is enough for a humble teacher like me.


Peace of mind is my another wish. Being firm on my decisions and to be able to stand up on my principles. Unwavered integrity as a teacher and as a person. Only when I achieve these things that I gain the moral authority to teach.


This is my wish list. I hope I'm on Santa's good boy list. hahaha

But I want to negate my friend's opinion about not being able to enjoy Christmas because of age. Because right now, as I write this entry, I am having a smile on my face. And everyday is Christmas for me.
