The first weeks of December flew by pretty quickly, so much so that I am now in a state of shock that it is almost Christmas. (today being the 24th in the Philippines)

With the mad rush of preparations, i have forgotten completely what Christmas was and is supposed to be. As such, here are the two lessons i learned from this experience:

1.) DO NOT CRAM

Yes, I crammed my preparations: baking wrapping etc... So it does no good. (Especially for studies)

2.) DO NOT BE TOO ARROGANT TO ASK FOR HELP

Despite the rush I was in, I wanted to look like i was in control of the whole situation... So I never asked for help, thus landing me in this twilight zone of zilch.
