countdown to new year 2006

with just a day til the new year, it surprises me why there seems to be not too many exploding firecrackers. perhaps they have learned their lessons or is it just a case of economics?

 last night, we went to watch the fireworks competition at the esplanade by the mall of asia, roxas boulevard. pretty good i’d say and like a kid, i was full of glee. it was between usa and south africa last night. i think the usa’s was better as a whole but  s. africa’s had a grander finale. it would have been much better with music though. music sets the tone.

anyway, with the new year just around the corner, i am tempted to make some new year’s resolution which i will try very hard to fulfill:

1. stop smoking or at least smoke less til i kick the habit. is that possible guys or is cold turkey the only way to do it. now that i’m sick and haven’t smoked for two days, it really feels good to the lungs and my throat. who knows this could be it.

2. don’t ever associate yourself with selfish, greedy, egotists, opportunists, users - - - in other words, bad people. well really with these people around, i look like a saint. this year, i met all sorts. some i’d like to forget, some i want to reform. some i’l just be wasting my time. but i really would have wanted to talk to this one particular person who i thought was better than he looked. what a disappointment! all i wanted was a genuine honest to goodness friendship. no strings attached. well, scared him off i think. the realtionship was abruptly terminated i guess through divine intervention. the Gods knew he was not good enough for me. forget about him. he’s not good enough for you. theright one will come when you least expect it.

3. lessen my emotional dependence on others and be self-reliant but not to the point of being cold and detached. i think the day that happens, i’d rather die. i’m a libran and librans are all about relationships.

so there that’s just part of it. i will continue tomorrow once i’ve organized my thoughts. in the meantime, let me have a drag and think  about that —hole for a minute before completely flushing him out of my system. hahaha

let’s all start with a clean slate. here’s to a better year ahead.
