2006

I can hardly wait. I have never been more excited in anticipating a new year in my entire life. I have so many plans for 2006 and I am just so thrilled to get things going! After a terrible year, it’s just so ironic feeling so feisty towards the end of it. I thought that nothing thrills me anymore. But I take that back.

Something might have just given me a nudge or whatever. I’m throwing away all the drama out of the window. All of a sudden I am Miss Brightside. The good old me. Just the way I want it. I shall take pleasure in the smallest details (sabi nga sa Reality Bites diba). "You know... a quarter-pounder with cheese, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my Camel Straights and I ride my own melt."

Eto. Let me share some lines from one of my favorite books. They are kinda inspiring. Not exactly the words you would hear from a wise man, but to me, they are just as effective.

All I Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten
Robert Fulghum

Share everything. Play Fair. Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt someone.
Wash your hands before you eat. Flush.
Warm cookies and milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life – learn some, think some, draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

2006 here I come!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!
