two thousand and seven - looking back

another year is going to end - 2007 has been a roller coaster year for me. there are endings and new beginnings in my life.

i started the year in a new company with new responsibilities and also new people to deal with. 

i gained new friends from the office, parties and everywhere.

this year is the most number of out-of-town trips that i had, too. to name a few:

• laguna
• tagaytay
• batangas
• boracay
• subic 

i almost have done everything i wish for like partying, going to places, staying up late - the things i wish i could do but i was compelled not to during my so called martial law days with my ex.

finally, i got the chance to move out and live independently. but i will tell you, it is not that easy being away from your family. i miss them the most when i would go back during weekends. i missed my sisters laughs and giggles. when i went back home two week ago, my father cried when he saw me. i cried too - i really felt that he missed me.

but this is all i ever wanted since i started studying and working here in Makati. now, i would not worry of staying out late in the evening from work or from late night gimmicks. i'm starting to get a life - a normal 20's life. 

some goodbyes

i broke up with my long time boyfriend - norman.

i also had this special someone after i've been single, but after a few months the "thing" that we had didn't worked out. and then he suddenly became aloof. now we are just colleagues, sometimes i feel like we're strangers again. 

the saddest part of this year's goodbyes is when my ex's brother died - Mikey. though his death is one of the things that my ex boyfriend and i were constantly arguing about. Because for some stupid reasons, he's blaming me for his brother's death and for not understanding his situation. 

for all he know, i was there when it happened and i almost (if not as much) felt the pain. he's like a brother to me. and when he was still alive, i feel sorry and sad for him because of the way his older brothers would treat him. but now, i also feel happy for him now that his sufferings and pain were finally over. 

moving forward

one of the best gifts of this year is when i met Rye, i believe at the time that we became so close and at ease with each other - i was ready to be in a relationship again.  i found what i've been looking for.

Goodbye 2007!

Let's hope for the best for 2008!!! Cheers!
