When we measure things or care to remember things, we always tend to emphasize the fifth or the tenth. We hear people say, "it's our fifth wedding anniversary, or it's my tenth year in the firm. It's my daughter's fifth birthday or it's my father's tenth death anniversary, etc."
Day after Christmas, I've been in Manila all of ten days. The first few days I was here, I was zombie-like having just recovered from flu and stress.
But on the tenth day, something wonderful happened. I woke up to a perfect sunny day, ate a bowl of hot oatmeal after days of eating "sinangag, tosino, and champorado" for breakfast, and started to moon over again.
I bought a Kenny G CD the other day and listened to it last night, and then played a Michael Buble.
Hey, I want the standard "Happy New Year" greeting come my way over and over.
And to you and all... HAVE A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL 2010.
