Happy Wagon: 2013's Last Hurrah

December Wishes

It's finally December! I love, love December. Despite being nearly broke and having second thoughts about my life choices, December never fails to lift my spirits up; maybe because it's my birth month or because everything seems so festive. When this time of the year comes around, I feel like every one has the right to make all the wishes they want and truly believe that they can come true a hundred percent. I do have a lot of wishes right now, mostly for my career and some material wants. However, right now, I feel like I want to give all my wishing rights to the victims of typhoon Yolanda. Yes, I know that it wouldn't help in changing any of their circumstances, but I believe that prayers and wishes truly work. Of course, those needs to be paired with real and tangible efforts. Every action made to help the victims is already a wish come true. I do have a few plans for this Christmas like donating some of my old clothes and toys, and I'm aiming to have them ready before Christmas. School is still driving me crazy, but a few hours of my time wouldn't hurt, especially since it's all I can give. I hope you're doing your part too, dear reader. If you can't (and I understand because we all have our own circumstances too), a little prayer or a single wish might go a long way.

Cheer up; it's December!

And just like that, November is over! For me, it came by as a blur. All throughout the month, my everyday environment rotated between work, school, and my bedroom with books full of my reviewers. I'm taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test tomorrow, and I admit that I'm not very confident about it. I mean, I only had a two weeks to have some not-so-decent review. I'm not saying I'm going to wing it tomorrow, but I'll definitely try to do what my best can do.

Despite being buried in work and reviewers, November did have some few highlights and some surprises. For instance, my family visited my grandparents' tombs at the beginning of the month, as per tradition. I just realized that we've been doing that for almost 11 years, but I still feel like we lost my lolo and lola just a few years ago. I just miss them so much.*sniff* Moving on, I also attended a few parties: our office Halloween Party and my friend's birthday party. Both were fun; both were worth going to. For Halloween, I did not really give much effort unlike last year (in which I dressed up as a not-so-white Snow White). Instead, I dressed up as Jess Day from New Girl played by Zooey Deschanel. With my curly hair, hipster eyeglasses, and a collection of seemingly-vintage clothes, it wasn't really difficult. Lastly, I experienced one last surprise by the end of the month, but I'm not sure if I want to share it here (ha!).

November was hectic and stressful, but I'm still looking forward for December! It's December 2012 people! They say the world's going to end (haha!), but I hope not. For heaven's sake, December is my birth month, and I won't let anyone ruin it! It's my most favorite month of the year. I'm looking forward to all the shopping trips and Christmas parties for the following weeks. Most of all, I can't wait to receive all the gifts you'll give to me! Kidding! With that said:
