Bye 2007, Hello 2008

It may be late writing how I welcome the 2oo8, but I will still make it. I will make lists of what I was in 2007 and what I want to be, to have and to do in 2008.

2007
-I welcome 2007 by changing my hairdo, I went for a hot oil, trimmed my hair straight and put some bangs.
-I've been into different bars, Nirvana, Elbow Room, Muchos with my officemates.
-It's my first time to ride a plane, went to Boracay for 4days as well as in Puerto Galera.
-JhoWa and BertNeng went to Tagaytay last July and it was my first time on that place also and ate at Bag of Beans Resto.
-I went to different historical places in Laguna and Lucban Quezon.
-I celebrated a birthday full of surprises and received gifts which cost so much efforts from my friends and loved ones.
-I cried and realized that it's so hard to say goodbyes to my officemates whom I had worked for 2 years.
-For the first time, I celebrated Christmas in Pampanga, ate Bayawak and discovered so many things about animals.
-There's so many ups and downs this year, although each year seemed to be like this, but 2007 was more difficult for me almost in all aspects.

• WORK. I've been in a battle between myself and I. It's so hard to handle this because I envied my officemates and friends who have grown in their career so much which made me think that I was left alone, uncompetitive, less confident and keep on asking myself what to do to boost my personality and career.
  
• FINANCIAL. I know most of us if not all experience this kind of prob. Well, on my part, I'm just wondering why I can't buy what I want while other's can. Why I can't go to a place I want to reach, while other's can. I have enough money to feed my necessities and I'm very thankful for that. But when time comes one of the impt. persons in my life will need my help and I can't, it's quite disappointing.
• FRIENDS. Countless of times I had been involved in the gaps of my berks. But I am thankful that we still remain friends after all what had happened between us.
• LOVELIFE. Well, it's normal for a relationship but for more than 2 yrs, for the first time me and Bert had a longest fight. Thanks God, our faith in Him and love for each other keep us together. I witnessed most relationships had broken and paranoia attacked me always if me and Bert were not ok. Hehehe!
  
• FAMILY. It's the first time, I quarreled my father because of anger when he was drunk. But that year, was better for us as far as the bonding is concerned.

2008
-I change my hairdo again: layered, shoulder-length,curly hair like a cheez curlz.
-TODO:

• First of all, be disciplined enough to save money and spend salary wisely.
• Look for a new apartment for the whole family.
• If God will give me an opportunity, I will apply for a housing loan.
• I must have a career growth this time. I'll stop comparing myself to others instead set my goals and do something to get them.
• I'll try my best not to demand and expect so much from Bert.
  
• Take a 1 week leave on Dimple's graduation and spend vacation in Bikol coz I did not go home for 2 years already.
• Save money to visit Bohol or Palawan and take a summer outing in the beach with Berks.
  
• Improve my relationship with God and trust Him all the time.
• Try to be positive in all circumstances.
• The last but not the last, I'll strive to lose weight, engage myself to more physical activities and eat less.

What I learned in the past year is that, in every difficulties, more blessings came and lessons taught. This 2008 I hope and pray that I can achieve what I really want and what God wants me to be.
