Wish List

I was reviewing my old blog at friendsters and i happened to stumble upon my old blog entry about my 2006 Wishlist.

  • 1. LG VX500 aka chocolate phone. (this one i’m gonna make sure to have before my 24th birthday!!)
  • 2. Zoom box DVD Entertainment Projector. ( para na kong nasa sine)
  • 3. Portable DVD player (always on the go)
  • 4. Sony PSP
  • 5. Coach Tote Bag
  • 6. Dear John by Nicholas Sparks (signed. harbound.)
  • 7. Miss Dior Cherie by Christian Dior ( i want the whole set lotion, shower gel and perfume)
  • 8. whole DVD box sets of my favorite shows
  • 9. Set of earrings, ring and necklace of my STARSTONE - TURQUOISE (swerte raw to sa sugal eh) and one set for my BIRTHSTONE - GARNET.
  • 10. To hit 25k. (mejo mahirap maabot ang isang ito).
  • 11. Trip to Vegas.
  • 12. Trip to P.I

Among all listed above, PSP, Trip to Vegas and hitting the 25k were the ones missed. I therefore conclude that jotting down what we wanted are most likely achieved. I think its because you always see and read them and gives you that"urge" to achieve it. Same thing with planning our lives. So this 2009, i will make another wishlist and hopefully will get them eventually. =)

  • HP Touchsmart PC. - it was love at first sight. definitely the apple of my eyes at the moment. i will make sure to get this sweet thing before spring.http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&a1=Brand&v1=HP+TouchSmart&series_name=IQ500t_series

  • iPod Touch. if i'm gonna buy another iPod, definitely it will be TOUCH.http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/

  • Trip to Disneyland. Duh, about time to think about this.

  • Trip to P.I. This has been a constant one on my wishlist as much as possible.

  • Make another novel. Just one! please...

  • Improve my credit. Ouch.

  • Learn to drive!!!!!

I think that's it for now. Whew! Sometimes, i am just too much. lol.

Birthday Blues

January will always be a constant reminder of a New Beginning, but for me, it was more to it than a beginning of another year. January will always be a constant reminder to me that I need to be more responsible. More mature. More independent. and a lot wiser.

It's depressing to think that another year will be added to my age but still i am leaving this pathetic life that i lived all years through. Same old job. Same old faces. Friends that come and go. What else is new? This morning i looked in the mirror and i still see the same reflection i used to see every single day. I still watch cartoons with my nephews every night. Saturday will always be laundry day. Long weekends are always planned for gambling purposes. Same old routine all year through. Tsk, tsk. how boring and pathetic.

Maybe my immediate manager was correct when he jokingly e-mailed us the "job description" of our job in the company.

"WOC employees are people who don't have feelings, or collectively known as "Zombies". We eat, sleep, wake up and go to work every single day not because we want to but because we have to. Brains - YUM. ..:)"

Of course, that was merely a joke to make us feel better, but sometimes, i really do feel like a "zombie". I will always be the same old brand new me.

I just want to share a beginning entry from a writer/friend who is very close to my heart..

"January 01, 2009!

Unang araw ng taon.

We are another year older...

And hopefully---wiser.

May mga lantang dahon na nalaglag sa tangkay ng panahon, minsan it makes me wonder why do leaves have to fall. Bakit hindi manatiling sariwa at manatili sa tangkay?

But that's life. Hindi lahat ng gusto natin ay nangyayari. All we have to do is to look at the new leaf na nagsisimulang umusbong upang halinhan ang nalaglag na dahon.

And that starts the new season... new beginning.

We might have made some wrong choices for the past year. But that is all right. We learn from our mistakes and move on.

As the turning of a new leaf, magiging matalino na sa pagpili sa lahat ng bagay; sa mga desiyong binitiwan.

We must learn from our mistakes and be wiser. It may take us years to really mature enough. Again, that's all right. Time will take care of that..."

How true those words are. If only i could be that Proverbial leaf that falls during Autumn and will bloom again in Spring. If only its that easy to erase and rewind and change everything. If only i could turn back the hands of time. So many "if only's". But the truth always hurts. I can't just start over again just like that. I have to pick up all the pieces of myself together and move on. Anyways, there will always be the memories and lessons learned.

To tell the truth, another year just feels hecka the same thing. It is just another day in my life which will only be a history tomorrow. I'm tired of trying to get myself better every year, even its for my own good. From now on, i'll just live my life to the fullest, because by the end of the day, being happy and content are all that matters, anyway.
