3 days to 2007
Just when we get used to writing 2006 on forms, 2007 comes along...
Looking back, i can't say its been a bad year, but neither can i say its a wonderful year....
Well, good news were that i finally completed my uni grad studies, though the final semester's grade wasn't that well... (2 Cs [Credits] to my transcript). You could say i deserved that grade, since i practically slacked my way through those semesters...
When i completed my studies, i was blessed with an-almost immediate job offer... from the place i was working part-time data coding clerk... but now, as a data processing programming... assistant. Not too bad for a start.
There (and i'm still there, so i'll be referring it as "here" henceforth), i befriended many great people, and took another nice young gal under my wings of protection...and also had a big sis to help me out too :). Working with them was (and still is) a wonderful experience.
I officially graduated from my degree on 9th September... the day i was brought to this world by my somewhat naggy, but yet great and wonderful parents. I got my degree from the dean officially a few minutes after my time of birth, so it was the ultimate bestest birthday gift i'll ever get... unless i get married & die on that day...
I made a pact with a very close friend, which was when we both hit 28, we'll give both a chance, and if it works out, we'll get married... at that moment, i had actually wished for it to happen immediately... but now, i see all the imperfections that i am, and i truely hope that she can get along with her current guy and get hitched...
This year also marks the first time i helped a total stranger, and in doing so, i made a great friend. :)
Christmas came and gone... many gifts were given, and many gifts were recieved... this was my first "office" christmas, and i kinda overspent on the gifts... but what the heck, its all for the smiles when they get their gifts..
Sounds above-average?
This year marks the 25th lonely Valentines i spent... out of the 25 years of existance. Don't know if its a curse or blessing, coz i still enjoy being alone..
This year was my first serious quarrel with my own sis... one in which alot of hurting words were thrown, one in which tears are shed... but one which has brought me closer to her, and i believe it did as her to me.
The "Umberella" incident of November was the biggest regret, and something i will not forgive myself. A god send, and i turned a blind eye. Sometimes i wonder... was it fated for me to be THAT silly? Sometimes i'll lie to myself that its fated for me to turn the blind eye.. but its just a momentary consolation. The fact remains: God sends a miracle, human didn't want. I reckon he won't be that kind, at least, not anytime soon.
-------------
And so that's it. My 2006. There might be other small good & bad stuff i leave out, but these are what i can remember. My memory starts to fail me, i can't remember alot of details, not as much as i used to.
Sometimes it looks like i took a step backward, but somehow i end up at the same, ol' place everytime. i need to move, and move forward.
So now, here i sit, typing this, while snacking on a packet of Chickadees, looking at the wonderful toys surrounding me, and, glancing at the rainsoaked window...
To all who might read, thanks for reading.
To all who are close to me, thanks for being who you are, for being there for me.
To all who gets to my nerves, i pray you will be more understanding, and stop doing what you do to annoy me.
To everyone else... All the best in 2007.
