I want to thank everyone that I have met through this platform we have here. I've been quiet these few days since I took leave from work.
My family and I would like to belatedly greet everyone a Merry Christmas. I know I had posted a quick greeting a week or so ago but I just want to say it again. It's beena real good year for everyone. I don't say this with sarcasm. It's allowed us all to stay at home with our loved ones. Where once we would be distracted with the modern life. The constant going out.
Well Corona has changed all our lives. I know I'm not making a hundred percent sense, but rest assured is all for the common good of every part involved.
Training. Man I had thought I wouldn't. I mean historically I've never trained in the Christmas break ever. I have kept this tradition. I call it tradition because I make it a point not to train on Christmas break. I know you're thinking, just tell us. Well ever since I've done martial arts.
This year for some reason I've lost all reason. So in between the partying, friend has convinced me to don the gi. It's been painful for my uric acid filled joints. The joys of drinking rears its ugly head.
I've noticed no Christmas beetles this year. In the months leading up to Christmas there are small beetles that wake up to do their yearly meeting ritual in Australia. Or maybe it's just in Sydney. This year I've not seen them. The bush fires last year must've decimated their numbers. Hope they come back this year end.
More drinks with this awesome dude. My brother. He's planning on leaving back in the Philippines once he's able to. We are driving with my other brother for Christmas. This was his only day off in December. It was a mellow drinking session.
The following day. I cooked Filipino breakfast. The best post drinking meal. The greasy fried garlic rice, spam and sunny side eggs help soak up the alcohol. Outdoor dining with my girls.
Oculus quest 2. New year's Eve. The start of a new year. Beat saber. That is a good unit. Just don't like the fact I have to get a Facebook account. Fuckers trying to suck me in to their pit hole. It's taken me years to finally get me out of those vice grip. Deleting my account was the best decision I did in 2020. I think the lockdown did me good. It allowed me to reflect on what's important. Now I might be hazy on some details, but for my sanity I'm thankful.
Board gaming for New year's Eve with a nice bottle of Scotch. Ushering in 2021 in sombre celebration for a year that saw lots of craziness. Munchkins. A twisted dungeons and dragons. Where there is no true alliances. Lots of arguing and negotiating. Even had the kiddies playing and winning. My wife blocked my rise to the to each game...
After a few days had breakfast with my son and his fiance. It was surreal reading out since there is another rise in numbers. We are all now compelled to wear masks everywhere. On the spot fines if you fail to protect yourself.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read about my Christmas and New years celebrations.
