all i can say is that the year 2009 just whizzed by me so fast i could hardly recall anything significant at all. so for my year ender post i’d just like to make a list of everything that i am thankful for for the year that was 2009:
1.) my babies
throughout all the ups and downs of this year, one thing remained constant – the unconditional love that my precious baby doggies give me. its hard to explain to non-dog loving people just how rewarding and fulfilling it is to have these little furry things cuddle up warmly to you and look at you with innocent eyes. at the end of an awful day, a nice cuddle session with my baby loves is enough to make me want to move on. thank you Kimi, Peanut, Butter, Choco, Caramel, Hiro, Chiqui & Barney. i love you babies to the moon and back.
2.) dich
she’s been my shock absorber all through out the craziness of 2009. i have no words to explain how thankful i am that i have a sister. sometimes she irritates the heck out of me but i seriously can’t imagine life without someone who will just listen to you rant and rave about the things you go through. i don’t have a perfect family but as long as dich is around then guess i’ll be ok.
3.) friendships
when it comes to friends, i really think i’m one of the luckiest ones out here. once in a while you need to take a break from work for the occasional dinner, singing spree, coffee get-togethers, travels, heart to heart talks, and whatnot. i’m grateful to have people around me who i can count on to be my official cheerer uppers. life ain’t always grand but with friends like mine i know i can bear it all. so thank you friendships!
4.) BBook & BBooth
i am thankful that the business is slowly but surely growing. i am thankful for the employees who work their hardest to book orders and to complete orders. although i wouldn’t really consider these as my OWN businesses, i am still thankful to be a part of it. there are days i wish i was in a different industry altogether. there are days when i’d get so frustrated i’d wish i was an employee so that i don’t have to worry about too many things. but these frustrations, i know, are just part and parcel of life. BBook and BBooth, especially the slave driver owner other wise known as my brother, has made me shed tears of anger, sadness, and despair so many times this year but at the same time, it has made me stronger too. these lessons i’m going to take as i enter the new year and hopefully i will become a better person because of that.
5.) Michael Jackson
of course i wouldn’t let this post end without anything on Michael. i saved the best for last
i truly am grateful for having discovered Michael’s music even if it happened after he passed. better late than never right? hehe
it’s been more than 6 months since i started listening to his songs and discovering the person that Michael is (no, i don’t want to use the past tense) and i can still say that nothing gives me more happiness. his voice soothes my nerves when i’m anxious, his smile makes me forget all my troubles, his life story inspires me to move forward with my own despite the frustrations i’m going through. i always tell myself if Michael was strong enough to face all the allegations of child molestation, to be brave despite of what the media makes up about him, to be courageous in the face of all his haters, then i guess i can conquer all my problems too. i know i love Michael and he will live forever in my heart.
so there… i think that’s about it.
today, on the first day of the new decade, i’d like to end this post by also writing a year-starter entry. some things i’m looking forward to in 2010:
1.) BBabies
- i don’t like to elaborate on this yet since everything’s still all up in the air for now. but yeah.. something new and exciting is brewing so watch out for that
2.) new skills
- i’d really like to learn how to cook. at least whatever happens to me in the future i’m assured that i know how to turn on the gas stove or whatever and feed myself.
3.) new plans for the future
- i used to tell myself that i’d be ok not having real kids of my own ( i say real because now i believe i do have babies already even if they are furry and have 4 legs). but lately i find myself softening up to the thought of starting a family of my own. dich and i used to plan that if we end up not getting married at all we will have each other plus our baby doggies. i guess that will be my back up plan for now. i’m still hoping that i will find the right guy for me who’ll love and respect me and who i will love and respect in return. we’ll build a family of our own and i will try my hardest to raise the kids to become good people. i will not be afraid of karma! hahaha! :p oh, and the first baby boy’s name should be Michael Joseph.
darn. i’ll be 26 years old in 24 days. time is ticking!
4.) to be in better shape
- i know, i know, i say this EVERY single new year. but this 2010 i really think i can lose weight already. i’ve lost the first 10 lbs when i started boxing again middle of 2009. so hopefully this year i will shed the next 40 lbs and reach my ideal weight by the time Shelly or Emiat gets married. i don’t want to be the only fat person in the picture anymore. promise!!!
5.) to work harder
- this year i plan to start a new routine:
8:00am – 10:00am – get up, eat breakfast, shower, dress up, blow dry hair, put on make up then leave the house.
10:00am to 12:00nn – rounds at the shops both in ayala and sm
12:00nn to 1:00pm – eat a proper lunch.
1:00pm to 6:00pm – office work
6:00 to 6:30 – quickie dinner
6:30 to 10:00pm – gym
10:00pm to 12mn – date with Michael on my lappy or DVD player:)
12mn to 8:00am – SLEEP!!! no more sleeping at 3:00am!!!
weekends will be for breaks from this routine so i can skip the gym, go out for dinner with friends or maybe hopefully go out on a date. wahahah! :p i hope i can keep this up!
here’s to wishing everyone a great new decade! happy 2010, people!
