Goodbye 2007; Hello 2008

In a few hours its gonna be 2008 - so let me write my last blog post for 2007.  Hmmm, so what can i say? Its been quite a year for me.  A lot have happened and a lot more will continue to happen this coming year. Anyway, here are my last thoughts:

- I still have some unfinished business and some thoughts to ponder on.  I think i have to reevaluate a few things that happened in my life and decide on what i should do next about it. But before that, i need to clear my mind…. how? i don’t know honestly, but i’ll think about it and find a way. hehe

-  For the first time in my life, i manage to keep a blog updated for 2 months straight now. Way to go Kath! hehe. I guess factors that made me do it are: 1. i’m paying for my webhost so might as well use it; 2. i have a faster internet access at home plus the access i have at my office, so i’m estimating that i am in front of a computer with internet access for at least 8 hours a day - meaning i can access my blog anytime; 3. personal choice - yup, i decided to put this up, i decided to update it as many times as i could if i have something to write about, so here it is; 4. um… what else?

- I put up PinoyTwitterS.com! its all because i got fond of Twitter and how people get addicted to using it. Seeing that many Filipinos use it, i made a way to unite fellow Pinoy Twitters where we can connect to each other, learn and share anything twitter-related for our benefit to make our twitter-life better and more fun.

- this year, i spent my christmas bonus that was given early to buy a new set of computer- that’s my Baby Abit. my little sister’s old pc gave up and she badly needed a computer for her school works plus my grandma misses my cousins in the US so much that we need a computer and a dsl connection to be able to make a videochat with them and i need a computer too. I can’t live without one. hehe. So there, myBaby Abit is born. I think the only old thing about him is the second hand monitor a bought from our company garage sale, all else are new :) so thats where my 13th month pay all went to. sheesh. But hey, good thing coz i’m starting to learn to take care and manage a personal computer. Would you believe that a computer science graduate like me, who started using a computer when i was in grade 4 only learned to format a computer last month? haha. funny and stupid - but true ;)

- I had a lot of frustrations at work this year but good thing i had the chance to clear itall up with my new team lead. Hopefully this coming year would be a better one for me - coz i know i deserve better for all my hardwork. Or maybe i deserve something else,  somewhere else. who knows? like what my grandma always tell me - there’s a reason for everything,and no matter what happens i just need to do my best. God has a plan for me, i just need to be patient. i know she’s right, so even if i had a not-so-good life at work this year, i just need to continue the hard work i’m doing and next year, maybe, i’ll get what i deserve.

- My love life - okay i won’t talk much about it but heck its been one tough year for me, or i could say one crazy year for me. I just wish… i just wish…. if only…..*sigh*

- Money …. geez i’d fire up again if i’d talk about it, lol.

- Friends … okay one new year’s resolution i’d make is to try to contact all those friends i had before that i consider close to me and try to bring back the good old days. Some may not welcome me anymore and some may be glad to welcome me back. I guess after all these years, i’ll finally figure out which ones are my true friends. 

- I just remembered, could i be dead already? i mean last time during the Glorietta 2 blast, it could be that i am one of those people dead or injured with that incident. It was a friday and my officemates and i were supposed to have out lunch out in Glorietta that time. Good thing one of us felt lazy to walk all the way from Paseo de Roxas to Glorietta that we decided to eat at a nearby building instead. And the recent earthquake, that was strong! and we’re in the 16th floor of our building so we really felt it. I was really scared that time. One of the last thing i would want to happen to me is to be on a 16th floor of a building when a strong earthquake would happen and we would need to walk down on what seems like an endless stairway and everyone especially me would be panicking thinking the building might collapse. hehe

 - I hate New Year’s eve. Well its all because of the noise people around create - the sound of torotot everywhere, and the firecrackers people use which always make my heart leap and sometimes (well most of the time) make me shriek. I hate it when people especially children play with watusi and those that throws firecrackers near people. tatawa-tawa pa sila pag nagulat mga tao. how i wish masabugan sila so that they’ll stop doing such things during new year. I hate noise. I guess i’d prefer a loud sound of cool music or just watching lots of fireworks displays. That would really be a peaceful and wonderful new year celebration. What i like about new year, when we have some special good food for medja noche and when i sit on our roof or on top of our van to watch the sky filled with fireworks display from a nearby village of affluent people. I like it too when my grandma throws coins around the house and me and my cousins would pick them all up and have our pockets filled with coins; when me and my sisters would stay up a few more hours after midnight and grab some snack and a bottle of wine and some beers and chat till we feel sleepy. hehe

oh well.. that’s all i could think of right now. i’m on my headphones listening to loud music so i won’t hear the noise outside that i didn’t hear my grandma calling me. hehe. gotta go back downstairs and help out :) Happy New Year!!!
