the difference of busy and "busy"

December 14, 2008

The coming week will be full of celebrations (birthdays, Christmas parties, officemates’ wedding, reunions), panic buying, and work work work to sustain all of these. haha.

I used to whine about this “so many things in so little time” weeks when I was in college. Preparing reports, writing papers, and studying for tests all at the same time seemed to be too much, not to mention the responsibilities to the sorority. Of course, I enjoyed the sorority activities more than the tests. :p

Looking back, I realized that I enjoyed everything, specially the cramming. I felt so vibrant and alive. I was so naïve to think then that I have so many things in my shoulders. Back then, I can’t wait to graduate; now, I wish I could be in school again. The irony.

With so many activities leading to Christmas coming up, I again feel “busy,” busy doing things that I enjoy. These things give me a break to being busy at work—only at work. Finally, there’ll be distractions to a year of robotic life of coming to work and going home from work. The sorority activities are now the reunions, the tests are now the works to finish, and the Christmas break is, well, still the Christmas break. haha.

I’ve been planning to help in decorating the Christmas tree, wrapping gifts, writing a gift card, buying exchange gifts, shopping for godchildren—and all these at the latest time possible. What can I say? Once a crammer, always a crammer. :)

same here, i miss school. i used to stress so much about my exams, but now i realize that those were the things that kept me steady towards my goal. it’s a different stress now that i’m working, but i do see it in a different way-better.

i’m done with my shopping. no boyfriend this year, so i’m only preparing for the family presents =). take care.

salamat sa pagbati!
