Starting the Year Right and Other Stories

The holidays are officially over and so is 2008. This is my first blog entry for 09 and I just hope this year means a great one for everyone.

Anyway, the first of January did not turn out half as bad as I would've thought being that I had to work the previous night to hell and would not have had the energy to really do much stuff after. It actually turned out great with a couple of things I'm really happy about. Anyway here are the first moments of my 2009 captured when my workmates and I went out of the building and joined the crowd in welcoming the year:













After work I went home and waited for my nephew to come over the house and visit. They came right in time for lunch and I spent a little time with him. He is growing so fast that I almost never recognize it is the same baby. But he is just a darling! In fact, I want one myself. Oh yeah. I never thought that I would actually say that, but I do.

I thought about it over and over in my head why I would ever want such big a responsibility but I can't answer it. Maybe subconsciously I want to compete with my brother. Or maybe it was because I was looking for someone to take care of me in the future when I get older. On the second thought, I can never ask another person to take care of me cause I think the only person that should be responsible for myself is me. I should not need anyone to depend my life on. Or maybe it's just because my nephew's cute and I should get over that.

Anyway, heres a couple of pictures of Dexter Draco I took when they came over:





I spent the evening of January 1 with my friend Vince and we went to O bar (since Palawan was closed) and had a blast! I met the guy that I have been checking out at work and that was a lot of fun. He's cute. Now that's what I call starting the year right!

Speaking of starting the year right, here's a funny video a friend in Minneapolis sent me which I think is worth seeing. it's about a town in Austria called Fucking:

Stop me, somebody!

Okay. These past few weeks I have been dangerously addicted to an application in facebook called MyFarm (to you reading this, you gotta try it but don't say I didn't warn you). You plant crops, trees and stuff to increase your cash to be able to buy infrastructures. I am totally addicted!

My room looks like shit, I've got tons of paperwork due for my masters and loadsful of dirty laundry that are not getting any cleaner. Somebody has to make sense of my life and have me start doing things already! But seriously, I have got to chill with this facebook stuff. =(

On the positive note, the year is ending and I am so looking forward to '09. Next year has got a lot of things lined up for me. I have been paying for a condo unit due to be built sometime on March, so that's cool. Around the same time is my completion due date for a couple of subjects that I took a couple of sems ago...that's a little scary.

I'm gonna start my year right with a trip to Caramoan with a couple of friends mid-January. I am very excited about it and I promise to post pictures soon after and tell you all about it.

Well work has been kind of a bummer. A lot of things are not going right there. I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say year-end is not the best time for our team.

Oh and yeah...I found my new year themesong this morning while watching Jamie Oliver's cooking show Oliver's Twist. It's my latest Now Playing post, see below. I love the energy of the song and the positive vibe it creates. Love it (and Jamie, too) *wink! He plays in the band, Scarlet Division, too.

Oh well, I am gonna have to start doing some stuff now. Ciao!
