"It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season -- like all the other seasons - is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them." —Lemony Snicket, The Lump of Coal The last four years have been the toughest, not only for me, but for the rest of my family, But during this time, I have witnessed how amazing God's grace is, despite everything, we are still truly blessed. For that, I am nothing but grateful for your greatness, my Lord.

Been on my PJs for more than 12 hours. It's the longest I've been in my PJs for the last 9 months. The air smells like fried chicken and sweet ham, the streets are quiet but busy with christmas lights, the air is breezy and it really feels like Christmas already. I haven't had the time to think about Christmas since my life had been confined to the pre-duty-post lifestyle of the hospital. My bed is so cozy I don't feel like leaving home for the first time for Christmas eve. Everyone's blabbing about going home for Christmas eve, but for me.. I'm leaving fro Christmas eve. But oh well, I might as well get used to it. :p
