Every last day of a passing year and first day of a coming year, we stay late and prepare for media noche, watch fireworks and fill the first minutes of the year with happiness, delight, bliss and optimism in hope of another bountiful year for those who were showered with blessings during the past year, and for the oppressed, some more wave of hope and strength.
So last night, i watched fireworks, and just as i had expected, it was more beautiful this year. Ironic, actually. Because the ashes from the recent torment that passed my country are still very visible to my eyes and to the eyes of many. And it really made me glad. I thought, “The hardest of times bring out the hope and strength of people. Difficulties, instead of pulling us down, make our feet more strongly standing on the ground. Truly ironic, in an awesome sort of way.”
As for me, the previous year was a big emotional torment: from my own family, my own selfish affection, my unspoken rivalry with someone…anyway, at least things ended peacefully. Sorry’s were said and the steam was let off. This year, i will make a better handling of my life, try my best to not let it spin out of control, keep hold of my emotions but at the same time set my heart a little more free.
I would like to thank my bestfriend, Kristine for always being here with me, sharing a little (a little too much) of my pain; Casey, for the little mushiness in my life (wish you bonggambonggang luck with Lane); Ven, for the acceptance of my apology, teaching me how to say sorry and somehow realize that even a very perfect person like me (hyperbole lang un ah) can make mistakes; above all, Mom, for somehow accepting me no matter how abnormal, persistent, naughty, WICKED i am sometimes. You’re still the best mom, no matter how often you yell at me. Hope you find this blog cause i ain’t gonna speak these to you! Lol; finally, the Big Guy Up There (aka God), for still lending life to a wicked child like me (U ROCK).
That’s all.May our expectations of 2010 be real! Ciao!
