oh the sanguinity


this evening, i was craving for a hot fudge sundae and since tamala hasn't been staying in the house for the past couple of days (she's shedding again) i decided to give us both a little treat. so nowww, she's enjoying a sundae cone while i just finished my hot fudge sundae. (shhhhh, just dont tell anyone i drove... haha :D)


so its the 31st of january.. the last day of the first month of year 2009. time goes by pretty fast huh? but that's okay because i pretty much wont be forgetting what i did the past couple of weeks. see, i decided that for this year, ima be wayy more responsible and everything sooo.. im using this executive diary/planner thing! plus, it was given to me as a token of appreciation or whatever from the embassy for this project ('project citizen') and it'd be such a waste if i just left it unused at the back of my cupboard.. so "me + planner = more responsible!"--> well, that's the plan anyway... I don't know if it's really working.. i hope its working.. I think it's working. :D


a friend told me that based on the chinese zodiac (year of the.. sheep i think), this year won't be a such a good year. its been evidently true so far because a bunch of unfortunate events have been occurring for the past couple of weeks; misfortune id rather not mention so i can try and forget it sooner. there are a bunch of good stuff too though like yeo's party, my nephew's party, finding out i passed the a;lkdsfj;asljd international law exam. oh and stuffing myself with NYPD fries! those fries are unbelievable good. hmm, i put my beliefs in the "law of attraction" though so im actually looking forward to a good year. it's all in the mind beibeh xD haha, apart from that i've actually been feeling really peaceful. im not sad, i could be happier but talking about life in general i cant complain :)


the past couple of weeks i've become a major movie buff! it's not even funny anymore. there're just so many good movies i really wanna watch! i already watched curious case of benjamin button (davao is sooooo late man really) and i can't get over their accents. so cool xD ooh and slumdog millionaire as well. that's an awesome movie. :D i also want to watch doubt, australia, milk, vicky cristina barcelona (penelope cruz and scarlett johansson!), revolutionary road and changeling. oh and confessions of a shopaholic as well! haha, anyway, got to cut this entry short because someone just told me moulin rouge is showing on star movies! (yes, i havent watched that.. hahaha xD)


life is defined by opportunities, even the ones you miss - benjamin button :]

a moment of reflection



after a terrible 2007, i've always considered 2008 as a year to a fresh start, a clean slate, a new beginning. it was a year where i could put all the grieving and sadness behind me and look forward to what lay ahead and i like to believe that's exactly what i did. i was no longer surrounded by people fraught with their silent inconsolable sadness for they too looked to the year 2008 with hope. looking back on this year, i realize that it's been filled with its ups and downs but compared to the events of 2007, i feel blessed that the positive incidences way outbalance the negative. i've found friends in the most unexpected people and i've gotten in touch with a few people i thought i'd never talk to again. so what do you wish for when life's been treating you pretty well? i tend to have alot of wishes for the new year, but right now im just thankful i've been so blessed. i just wish that i'll have this feeling of general contentment throughout 2009. :]


sooo



BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!!! i hope yall find whatever your looking for in life. God bless you. :]
