Highlights of the Year-end Months
.
Party. We had 3 consecutive weeks of fun in the office. This is why I
like December next to October- everyone seems to be in a festive mood.
There are quite a number of reasons behind it. I’ll cite two: Xmas
Bonus and it is divine time to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
.
Car
accident. For the 2nd time this year, Camille got caught in a road
mishap. Again, her right fender was severely damaged and the right
signal light has to go. Though this time, it’s a bit not of a problem
since I can cover the finance, it’s still a pain to see something
precious to you in a state like that. Lesson learned among many things
that day, safety is never 100% guaranteed on the road even if you are
the safest driver around. There’ll always be one idiot driver who’d
cause an accident for you (and the police to take advantage of it).
.
New
friendships. Though much of this year has been shrouded by regrets and
unwilling loss, I have become very thankful for the coming of new
inspiration to go to work these days. One yosi break, a friend told me
that it is about time to open my eyes for there are people around
waiting for it- people waiting for me to come to my senses. And I did.
As I try to forget all the misdoings and misadventures that either I am
guilty of or was thrown to me as this year started, I found open arms
to welcome me as a friend as it ends. With it came opportunity to show
everyone that I am not someone to disregard and disrespect. I love them
all, I enjoyed every time I spend with them. I can’t wait to spend
another year with these wonderful people.
.
Promotion. New tasks,
new daily routines, new life. This new job in the same office, with the
same people around has never become dull since the first day. It’s
strenuous, but always in a good way. Good stress, they say. I’m still
liking it.
.
A new PC and DSL – I have a new machine now, thanks
to my beloved wifey who gave the initiative to get one. It got specs
that are not so much on the high end (Intel Dual Core, 160 Gigs, a
DVD-RW drive, a sound booster and a kickass video card that is still
yet to come), but it will do. We immediately hooked it up to a fast
internet connection so that we can enjoy much of whatever things not
offered on local TV. What comes after is addiction to Heroes,
Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, Naruto and other mangas, Youtube,
Friendster, Limewire, torrents for movies that we missed in past years,
blogging, etc. There’s so much to do with this thing in the confines of
a bedroom. I fear my DVD player’s getting lonely there in the sala.
.
New
list. I come up with resolutions that I have to carry out every year. I
am now preparing what things to accomplish for next year, 2008. Early
today, I was thinking if I could even ever come up with one since I’m
already all thankful to what I currently have- a beautiful family, good
friends. With material things, I have pulled off pretty much everything
on the list- a new PC with considerable specs, a nicely maintained car,
a flat screen TV in the sala, and finally a PSP this month. But as I
woke up today (which basically means tonight), something came up. Ethel
and Luke were watching “Going Bulilit goes to Hong Kong Disneyland”.
Then I remembered- I still have some childhood dreams that are not far
from reach now. Yup! First on my resolution list for 2008- take my
family to the Magical Kingdom.
