Looking Back

being the last day of the year, i can't help but evaluate how i fared against my resolutions or simply my own personal to-do list. though not completely accomplished, looking back at my game plan for 2008, i see that i have carried out a few. better than nothing eh?

but seriously, i have to double my efforts to make up for what i failed to bring about this past year. last january i said that i was looking forward to what's ahead. true enough, i was not disappointed as a lot of good things have happened.

more than '08 though, i'm all the more charged to face '09. no specific reason/s yet. but i'm sure as hell thrilled to unravel what's in store for me this coming year. so to 2009.....

bring it on!!

Missing

christmas seasons never fail to bring a melancholic feeling. the cold breeze always bring a hint of this funk that comes from missing home.

i miss my family.

i miss my cousins and our ktv sessions.

i miss my nephews and nieces. especially when their faces light up when they see me...carrying something for them! hahaha

i miss my grandma. as difficult as she can get, i still miss her...and her cooking.

i miss my friends.

i miss my hs buddies. as ma fan as they can get, they're a funny bunch.

i miss all my previous colleagues. different groups but just as fun.

i miss the food.

i miss halo-halo.

i miss palabok.

i miss bibingka.

i miss jollibee.

i miss cupcakes by sonja.

i miss the cheesy shawarma under the ayala mrt station (dunno if it's still there).

i miss amici.

i miss my lola's laing and tsokolate on christmas eve.

i miss manila.

i miss the metro's christmas rush.

i miss the traffic (in a weird way, i do)

i miss how everyone is extra nice to each other during christmas.

but most of all, i miss you

On Taking A Break

after a couple of weeks hiatus from blogging, i'm back. i just took a long overdue break, reconnected with old friends and made new ones. it's always nice to take time-out from everything and just relax. eventhough my island trip didn't push through because of uncooperative weather, i had FUN.

at least i'll have new memories that will help me get through this bitch of a winter! hahaha

peace out.
