New Year

New year’s eve… First of all, I gotta say, I forgot how loud it was. LOL. Fireworks and firecrackers are everywhere. The fireworks are okay. They’re fun to watch but the sound of the firecrackers is definitely not fun to hear. It’s getting pretty old and annoying. Anyways, 2008’s finally closing, huh. It has been one tough year. It’s very nerve wrecking to say the least. For the sake of a year ending, here’s a cliché, “For everyone I have hurt, couldn’t get along with, always argue with, and treated badly and even to those I’ve just ignored, I’m sorry. For everyone I love and cherish, I hope we could all still be together or even, at least, stay in touch. For everything I wish for, I hope they come true. LOL. And lastly, for me, congratulations! You’ve managed to stay alive for another year Hahaha!”

Here I am doing my annual New year’s eve ritual. You know how some people do their resolutions? I do my predictions. I don’t really do resolutions because, A, they are not actually happening and, B, everyone else is doing it. I usually do my predictions in a list but last year, I decided to, like, write to myself. It’s like I’m talking to my future self. I just read my last year’s(2009. It is so last year) prediction and to tell you the truth, I think I have changed. It’s a shame though. I felt sad for the old me. He was very hopeful and some of his predictions didn’t really happen. By the way I wrote it before, I seemed so excited for what’s to come but now I’m just trying to focus on my goal and live through life. I don’t know but, I guess, sometimes I lack passion which is very far from what I am back then. Driven and passionate. Here’s some excerpt:

“So… 2009, huh. By the time you’ll be reading this, you must be laughing and not to mention a big time college student. Since it’s still early in 2009, I don’t know where you are right now. But one thing’s for sure, it’s 2010 when now that you’re reading it. Happy New Year! And oh! Belated Happy 17th Birthday! Let me guess… You’re studying at UST, right? I mean, no offense, but UP Manila is really hard to get into. But I can still hope, right? It’s not like I already know the results. So, how are you hanging in there? How’s the life of a nursing student? It must be pretty tough, huh? I mean, we could do this. I know you. You’re good. You can handle anything. I hope everything’s fine by the graduation. Anyways, how’s Lonesville doing? You’re still writing, aren’t you? Because if you’re not, I’ll go right over there and kick your butt. Don’t forget that writing is our passion. Don’t let studying get in the way. I know it’s important but still… you get the point right? Where do you live now anyways? I’m hoping it’s in the city. Did you manage to have friends?”

I’m sorry I had to cut it. Some of the portions there are also cut. It’s just personal. I have to go write my predictions for this year so, later!
