Missing Christmas

When you are alone and lonely, there are so many questions in your mind. You feel everything. You remember everything. The details of life seem to present to you in every way possible. This is life.


Now that I am away from my family and friends and love ones, I see things differently. Life on the other side of the world I used to know becomes strange. Defined on a new perspective, life becomes a challenge that coexists with my destiny.


I miss my dad, mom, my siblings. I know I had not spent so much quality time with them but really I miss them a lot.


Now it is Christmas and I am alone. My family matters to me the most. My loneliness coupled with the thought of being with them here to where I am now will be my supreme sacrifice. Someday I know we will be together. And that what my life will be about.


There is no place like back home. There is no Christmas like the way I used to know it.

There are so many things about life that we need to know. So many things to take notice of, so many things to explore and discover. Ahh, there is just so much around.

These pages will tell you why. Enter my world. And the world is a place where we can discover what life really is. Welcome.

I was in front of the class, on the board, having answered incorrectly a math problem he said was easy. Stunned and stupefied, I could not remember how long have I stood there. I thought my legs kept me from moving, when so many eyes were upon me, I was enveloped with embarrassment and numbness. After the class, I declined to have my lunch, afraid that my classmates would poke fun at me. And yes they did, behind me (which i would learn later). That was the turning point of my life with mathematics. I really could not blame my teacher. Mathematics was something I detest then, and it was my waterloo. But that unfortunate incident, it dawned upon me that I better put myself together and redeem myself. Not to prove to my teacher that I am what he thinks I am, I embarked on a journey. And this I did with mathematics as company. Years later, I earned my degree in mathematics. When it came to my t...
