Borealis

hhfff. cleansed my wound a while ago. geez. had a hard time taking the gauze off coz it stuck to the wound, and some of the blood had dried up, so i had to swab lots of hydrogen peroxide so it would come off. agua is stinging. darn the television set. darn the weak box.

me thinks the wound opened again. it looks like this:

ouch. i can see my meat. take a closer look:


eek. at least there's some improvement. anyhows...

hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to sing throw cares away

jesus is here bringing good cheer to young and old, meek and the bold

ding dong ding dong, that is their song, with joyful ring, all caroling

one seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere filling the air

oh how they pound, raising the sound o'er hill and dale, telling their tale

gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, christmas is here

merry merry merry merry christmas, all the bells are singing merry christmas

on and on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to every home

hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say throw cares away...

jesus is born!

haay. downloaded the vienna boys choir version of carol of the bells. then downloaded another version, the most traditional i have yet to hear, and the most beautiful too.

watched polar express a while ago. really fun, the movie. i've kept the animation in my computer for the longest time, telling myself that id wait until december to watch it. now that it's demi-mois de decembre, i watched it, and felt once again the spirit of christmas.

in polex there is this sleigh bell whose lovely sound can only be heard by a believer. the end of the movie talks about hero boy still hearing the beautiful sleigh bell's chant even when he's old, even when his sister ceased hearing it, even when the other kids don't hear it anymore.

christmas is wonderful, sleigh bells are fascinating. and santa claus is for believers.

before i die, i want to see the aurora borealis.

from my seat i can see the gold and turquoise lanterns illuminating the atenean fields. the simbang gabi began yesterday. the church of the gesu will be in full glory once again.

9 days to christmas. can't feel any better.

joyeux noel et bonne annee!
