Christmas Countdown 2017 : D-30

source : history.com

I like the idea of having a fireplace inside your apartment. It feels so warm especially in the day like this. Where the snow starts falling, the air is getting colder, and when a thick jacket doesn’t help you at all. Well, I wish I had one but in we are prohibited to have (even mini) fireplace in my apartment. I always imagine if only I had a mini fireplace inside my apartment, I would have already decorated it with some socks like what I did back then in Australia. I would also put my christmas tree near it and then put a small paper above my mini christmas tree. I would like to write all my wishes in that small paper like what I used to do when I was little. I remember Mom and Dad told me few things about Santa Claus, and I like it. But yeah, time flies, I’m getting older, and here I am sitting near my room’s window seeing snowflakes start to fall in Thanksgiving Day.

                Oh, and well, I’m Logan. Logan Cleverly. The one who made it to study architecture in the US  after few years struggling in Australia.  I’m the one who prefered mochacino rather than chocolate back then, who dreamt to have a part time job in Starbucks, and the one who liked NCIS and Suburgatory who also remembered each of Gibbs’ rules. I’m the one who likes Christmas a lot. The atmosphere, the music, the christmas tree, the city lights, the snowflakes, as long as it happens on Christmas, I like it.

                If you want to know about me right now, I’m just started my graduate program and hoping that I will get my master degree soon. Same faculty, architecture, where lots of skyscrapers built and the most well-spend-place-on-the-end-of-the-year, New York, US. I’m living in a unique and cozy apartment near my university, and it’s located quite in the center of New York’s most crowded area. But I do really like it since I hate loneliness and quietness. Beside studying, I also had a part time job, I design some buildings and also working on some kind of comic project. I’m still working on Starbucks though, because I do like the aroma I feel everytime I open its door and see lots of people talking about their works, jobs, and stuffs. I do really like what I have right now as my carrier and my business.

                I believe you also remember Courtney, yeah, that girl in the past I told you about. The last time I met her was actually when her baby was born, his name is Noah. It was already a year ago when I visited UK with my friend. Um, well, for now I would like to call her as my girlfriend. Her name is Alicia (yeah, the one I told you in my last story). She is very beautiful, and I do adore every little things about her. I met her for the first time when I worked on Starbucks. We both are newbies, so yeah, she was the only friend of mine back then. As the time goes by, we both felt like we fitted each other, then we decided to have a relationship. She is my kind of girl, although sometimes she’s a bit captious, but I do really love her. She has a small body, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She is 10 inch shorter than me, and I do really like it. She is a kind of girl I can rely on. I also told her about Courtney, and she was the one who helped me to go through it. Because of all the reasons above (well there are still many stuffs I haven’t told you), I do really love her.

                I’m so grateful of the life I have right now. Beautiful field of study, on the beautiful place, surround by beautiful person also. This is the thing I dreamt about since I was little, to experience winter on a Christmas day (you know that in Australia we don’t have it), to live in the coolest place in the world, and to spend my Christmas day with my favorite person. If you ask me what do I want for my Christmas day this year, I don’t think I have one, because I’ve already have all that I wanted.

But yeah, sometimes when everything is okay, you’re just worried that something is going to happen and break the pleasant life you have. I often feel that way. I’m worried that all the joy that I have right now will be broken as soon as possible, because it is all too well.

It is all too well, and I don’t want it to disappear.

Well, but here I am. Sitting here on the coziest sofa inside the most unique apartment in New York, listening to Christmas songs while waiting for Alicia cooking the turkey for today’s Thanksgiving Dinner. I think everything will be fine, and I don’t have to worry because it’s all already prepared for me.

“Babe, the turkey is done. Can you please set up the table for us?” asks Alicia from the kitchen.

“Anything for you,” I say then start to set up the table for two.

The snow is falling harder. The air is getting colder and colder. I see from my window people start to shelter or going back home. But today is a Thanksgiving day, whatever happens, people will always cherish every little things they’ve been through on the past 1 year. And me too, I am so grateful for the things I have until now. And I hope that it will always be as beautiful as this.
