Kung Hei Fat Choi

Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone! Happy, happy Chinese New Year! This marks another year for all of us. Now, it's going to be a series of ups and downs. They say that this year, the conflict star is very evident. Well, I just hope that I won't be that temperamental this year. I have to keep my cool. I guess I'll just have to lay low and take everything as easy as possible. So I guess, Mr. Blog, you'll be hearing a lot more from me this year than the past years. Actually, I'd have to say when I was in 4th year college, that was my most active year in blogging. Since I was really stressed. :o But honestly, there's nothing really very different about my being stressed now and before. I really miss my friends though. I want to go out and spend a few days away from all these craziness that have been surrounding me. Come to think of it. It has been 2 months already that I have been dealing with stress both at work and my family life. I just need a break. I really long break away from everything. I will be leaving for Davao on Wednesday. I wish I could really take a break when I get there. Not think of anything. No work. No stress. - Happy me?

Gisella Bolarte the AMER counterpart of Deedee is here in Manila and we ate lunch out - Gerry's Grill - so that she could try out the different Filipino dishes. Deedee said she really enjoyed the food but we never really know for sure. I'm actually trying to think of when I got to work with her but I can't really remember any instance. Oh, I wish I could go to Costa Rica and visit that country. However, I really wouldn't know if I would survive if I go there alone. If ever that thing that Kushala is talking about would push through, it would only be one person from the Philippines and if that would be me, I'd be scared to death. But that would be one great experience! :)

Happy Valentines' Day people!

Let's just say yesterday I was in a terrible mood. But things can change can they not? Okay maybe it was the flowers or the fact that I saw Bert now after a LONG time of not seeing him. 2 days isn't that much of a LONG time, I know but when you were used to seeing someone everyday to not seeing him everyday to not even being able to talk to him properly... 2 days is a long time, trust me. I hate having this kind of schedule. It sucks. It's not as if the weekend is all ours as well. I have to continuously adjust to my family. I don't even see my friends anymore. One thing is for sure. I am soo not looking forward to the weekend.

So there, right now, I'm still thinking about what Noel will say in his Site Announcement. I hope and wish that it would be something really good. Just like what Ralph was saying last night in the car, he hopes for something good. It could be anything for as long as it's good. I guess we've all been hoping and praying for that since last week. After all of the ratings were given, I heard that nobody was totally content a about that. I have yet to determine if I am. Well, honestly speaking, I'm not. I was hoping for more. Expecting for more but that didn't come true.

I have yet to talk to Bert about things as well. If I'm staying, it would be for personal reasons and I really, absolutely do not want to rock the boat that I am in right. It's not stable as it should be yet and I would not do anything to make us drown but I think I have to be honest about everything. I think he, of all people would understand.

I guess for that, I love him soo much. Because at the end of the day, he's the only one I can really talk to.

My Favorite Pictures of 2006

Yup, those are my favorite pictures of 2006. I know it might be alittle late to post those but I truly love 2006. Soo much things have happened taht time - especially good things. However, this year, I could not say that it started out extremely well. I felt like soo many mishaps happened and it's just February.

My mom just got out of the hospital yesterday. She was confined in the hospital since last Saturday. I had to sleep there and I could barely sleep. Hello! I don't even like going to hospitals and you expect me to sleep there? :o

Then this Saturday, instead of going out with Bert, I have to go and have dinner with my family. I guess this would be the second year without celebration, gifts or flowers.

Well, a lot of things have been going on in my life. Work-related, personal life related. It's like I'm going to explode and I can't even talk to anyone properly. No one knows the real picture - the whole picture. I want to leave and never come back. That's what I want to do.

Oh well. Goodbye my dear 2006. Hello my dreadful 2007.
