The Holidays Blues

I can't help myself but to feel the blues. I know that the holidays are here to be merry and glee. Somehow, I woke up in the wrong side of the bed nowadays. This feeling of gloominess surrounds my room. I wake up as if I do not have any purpose in life. Sad to say, I am that down and not so joyful. My health is not so good that my body is tired all the time. Then, I kept thinking and thinking.

I miss the people that closest to my heart like my Nanay (grandma), my father, my little angel and my loved ones who passed away. Bare with me however, I am grateful with my relatives that are still here and that is why I cherished their company mainly with my Mama. Also, I miss my friends and relatives who are now abroad. Missing their company and our talks.

Last year of 2009, I have a wonderful year that I experience with Raffy. I thank God that he found me. Happiness so sweet. This year, maybe I am expecting so much from Raffy. I am not getting any younger and being a crazy lunatic again. Mind you, Raffy is the best boyfriend that I ever have.

This is just a phrase into my life. I dislike this feeling.Who wants to be sad? Maybe I am for the Holy Week and not the Christmas Season. Thinking of the new year to come, I should have positive thoughts more often. Praying that I have to keep my faith of God's plan for me and into my future.

For the moment, I would like to feel this sadness in the air. Through this, I will have to chance to listen to my heart and reflect more on the blessings that I have. Thank you for your understanding. Hoping that this stage will just pass by.

Hi Sampy,
I am just reading your story, I too feel sad during the holidays because it's a time for family. It's at these times we miss our family the most. I hope your new year has been wonderful and that things are brighter for you.

Dear Aimee, Thank you so much

Dear Aimee,

Thank you so much for reading my story. The new year started very good now. Actually, I am having some confusion because at present I am an English Teacher but, still waiting if I will continue on this job. Then, my application for being a Free Lance as a home-based has just been approved. I am still looking for a job. A stable one.

Just wanted to share it.

Take care,
Sampy
