solitude this yuletide season
people often asked me why did i choose to celebrate christmas and new year eventually without my family….
"no money…sayang ang fare…" i also often received faces for such kind of reply i offer. seemed they are not convince…then better not to ask if you do not believe me…
this is my second time to observe christmas away from my family of orientation. the first was during my sophies year in college for academic reasons.
i mean, we filipinos basically identify christmas with fete and spending time with family. of course, nothing to argue with that. after all, its could be a part of its essence.
but family is not limited only to your father,mother, siblings and etc….a family caould be any group of persons you share close personal tie with…
this time, i chose to spend the season in solitude…time to reflect for the year that went through…a season for reflection and recollection…that is how it went through…
i have nothing to regret for i gain a lot from what i did…
why dont you try and see what i mean…you will fully realize what christmas is all about when you spend it alone and in solitude….
