Merry Christmas!

I just want to greet you all a Merry Christmas!

Here's my christmas prayer:

Lord, on this christmas day,
In the midst of joy of our celebrations,
Help us recall what is truly important about this day.
In the midst of opening presents,
Help us remember the love that each gift represents.
In the midst of christmas dinner,
Help us remember that you are the source of all life.
In the midst of family gatherings,
Help us remember that you are the fulness of all joy.
In the midst of christmas mass,
Help us remember the supreme act of love, sacrifice, and humility
that we celebrate on christmas day
When your son came  as a helpless unknown baby
and grow to be the life and light of the world.
Amen.

Merry christmas!!

Hermit mode

My 2 week christmas vacation officially begins. I can't think of anything productive to do, and my schedule is full of christmas and new year parties, some birthday party, fiestas, etc.

I don't think there's anything worthy of my money in the theaters right now. It will be the MMFF soon, and I'm not a fan of local movies especially MMFF entries. Or maybe I'm just bitter because I can't watch "I am legend" during the break. haha.

Wander my friends

2007 was a great year. But at the same time, it was also a tragic one. Some friends didn't make it to the year 2008, some just barely even made it to 2007. Sadness will forever permeate our lives yet many are oblivious to this fact. In memory of my friends:

Mar cheo an tsleibhe uaine ag
imeacht go deo
D’ainneoin ar dtuirse leanfam an tsli
Thar chnoic is thar ghleannta
go deireadh na scrib’

Seo libh a chairde is canaidh liom
Lionaigi’n oiche le greann is le sport
Seo slainte na gcarad ata imithe uainn
Mar cheo an tsleibhe uaine,
iad imithe go deo

Wander my friends, wander with me
Like the mist on the green mountain, moving eternally
Despite our weariness, we'll follow the road
Over hills and valleys, to the end of the journey

Come on my friends and sing with me
Fill the night with joy and sport
Here's a health to the friends who have gone from us
Like the mist of the green mountain, gone forever

All along the watchtower

Battlestar Galactica Season 3's own version of Bob Dylan's All Along the watchtower. I so love this series, and the finale episode featuring this song is just awesome. Enjoy!

It's christmas!

Yes, it's the season to be jolly. But the truth is, I can barely feel the spirit of xmas. It's been like this for the past 3 or 4 years ever since I decided to go to medical school. The christmas decorations are still here, so are the presents, the joyous mood, but still, I've become so cold-hearted to actually forget it's the season to be jolly! I don't know how many more xmas's it will take before I can feel its spirit again. But then again, I DO know why we're celebrating xmas.
