Like many people in this country I've been asked to write about my Christmas/Summer Vacation around 6 times in my life. Once for every year of elementary school. A tedious and repetitive task for most, at least it was for me. How ironic that I'm writing this now of my own free will (if there such a thing... more on that later).
That aside, I must say that last year's has been one of my best ever. The family went back to Bacolod for a grand reunion. I got an opportunity to see my cousins once again. Its true that you gain a different perspective of things as you grow older. Being an introvert by nature, I have always been uncomfortable around other people. I guess that I'm beginning to overcome the natural, irrational fears associated with human interaction by God's grace. I find myself better adjusted to dealing with people having a wider range of interests. There's still a long, long way to go of course. At least I'm seeing some progress.
