Lifeaholism

First of all I would like to greet everyone a merry, merry Christmas. Before I get started, I would like to make you laugh. Click on the link below and wait for it to load. It’s a surprise Christmas greeting. Thanks to Chester, Lawrence, Flaegil, and Jayson for their unfading support. Clap clap clap!

As always, this year’s Christmas is a day away from my family. But I shouldn’t fret as I am used to this, and I need some time alone after some stressful weeks at work and with friends. Anyways, my mom and dad are just a phone call away.

‘Tis the season to be chubby, fa la la la la la la la la la...

Christmas season is a time when people like to eat and drink and hate to exercise. It might be due the colder temperature, or the festive atmosphere, or the plethora of sweets and all types of calorie-loaded goodies given as gifts. Or in my case it is the lure of spending sleepless nights with my lifeaholic circle friends over buckets and buckets of beer, a pitcher of ice, and a glass. Well, when January comes, it’s time to shape up for the hot hot summer!

Being a lifeaholic

Sorry Chester, but I am the first one to write this new word in cyberspace. All future references shall cite me. Just kidding mate. All work and no play make Andrew a dull boy. So, so true. Work is so stressful. My company’s motto goes ‘C*t* never sleeps’ – and I don’t get enough sleep either. But I don’t mind getting my eye bags bigger or my headache more occasional as long as I am learning fast and becoming a better yuppie.

My stress levels are always high, so I always look forward to fun-filled weekends. Good thing I have dragon boat racing to keep my muscles from getting atrophied. Paddling in Manila Bay has never been this exciting, though I really had to make do with the filthy water. But hey, I guess I am already immune to whatever pathological bugs there are in the bay. Next year, the dragon boat races for the first quarter will be in Subic and Boracay. Hooray!

Being a lifeaholic – correct me Mr. Canoy if I am wrong – is striking a balance between work or study and play. And by saying balanced, I mean to study or work hard and play thrice as hard. That’s why my friends and I always exercise, drink, and enjoy our weekends. And we are not the shoddy type of students or yuppies at all.

Isang Pinggang Pansit!

Nakakatawa! This sketch in this year’s Live AIDS of UP Diliman’s Samaskom brought down the house. The delivery of the monologue by three different characters – a loser girl, a diva girl, and a gay kid – made the segment totally hilarious. Watch this in youtube (search ‘isang pinggang pansit’) and for sure you’ll spend the next ten minutes laughing your lungs out.

Happy 2009!

Watch out for those fireworks, and for those resolutions that may never be realized. Some say that the new year is a new life. Come one, we all have heard that big fallacy a gazillion times before. Lifeaholics would say that the new year is another good year to enjoy and be merry. Be positive. Be a lifeaholic!
