Tis the Season to be...

Is there something wrong with the month December that makes anything and everything to be malfunctioning?Time: 12/25/2007 01:08:00 AM
My list of things that are have broken down have mysteriously expanded since the start of the month.
First it was the home's internet connection that was down.
Then it was my keyboard (never ever buy wireless keyboard and mouse again!) followed by my over-enthusiastic mouse (double clicks all the time!).
My computer screen sometimes turns bluish...
The screen on my room's new TV set turns reddish...
I accidentally sat and broke one of the earpieces to my ipod (fine... that is my big ass fault)!
My phone hangs all the friggin' time!
My favourite pair of sneakers squeaks whenever I walk (I kid you not; it sounds like what those toddlers wear... My sneakers are still soaked from the awful monsoonal rains even after days of sunning them).
Speaking of things that need to be replaced, my contact lenses are way over-used and poor eyes need new ones oh so badly!
My entire closet of clothes is screaming for a makeover. I need warm clothes for Alaska next year.
A quick count of my underwear confirms fears that I have a shortage. Same goes for my socks...
Is there a conspiracy theory?
The year-end bonuses?
The Season's sales?
And the rampant and mysterious malfunctioning?
I tell you its more than a coincidence. There's a conspiracy.
Tis the season to be fixing.
While things seem to be breaking down all around me, there are somethings worth fixing.
No, not talking about the gadgets or clothes, I'm talking about mending relationships.
Tis the season for forgotten friendships to be rekindled and family ties to be strengthened.
Been going out the past two weeks with friends (from old-timers to new ones) almost every night; chatting, gossiping and catching up. I have friends I have known for a close to a decade now. How time flies (man, I feel old...).
My Dad's episode can be considered to be a 'blessing' in disguise. My family has never been closer. And I have learnt never to take him or anyone I love for granted now.
Life is short, I've learnt.
Merry Christmas everyone.0 comments
