NANAY: Who told you those are all yours? And who told you you're opening them?
NANAY: no! as in N-O!
NANAY: Don't give me that look, Gabriel. It's not gonna work.
NANAY: not all things you want in life you'll get. Life is not just about what you want...it's about what's good for you, what will make you grow, what will help you become a better person.
GABRIEL: see teddybear? I told you I wasn't going to get it. 
NANAY: there. 
wow! a weapon for the little warrior!
ABE: these are all just too much! I am just speechless.
Nay, you're right. It's worth the wait.
NANAY: (at least that's how I interpreted that smile)
Belated Happy Christmas everyonE! I have been sick. Terrible cough, colds, sore throat. I didn't have voice the entire holiday. Nothing can be frustrating than opening up a present and liking it so much you want to shout with joy, but you can't. My voice escaped me on the night of Christmas Eve, and I was so frustrated I was crying out to God why. But then a few nights to New Year's Eve I got to thank somehow that I was too sick to talk. You see, sometimes I have the tendency to get really loud, talking forever, proving I'm right, never accepting defeat, never accepting I can be wrong, criticizing people, looking for flaws, seeing only what's ugly. While I was voiceless, I didn't have any choice but to sit around, quiet, and observe...in the process I saw myself in all the rest around me.
And I was humbled.
I am not a new person today, though. I am still the sinner, hypocritical, impatient, judgemental person that I am. But I thank God for keeping me quiet during the holidays. I got the chance to listen to the things that my human heart always fails to hear.
