Happy Fuggin' New Year

... and this is the new year.

2007 has barely kicked-off and already I'm on a brand-new rollercoaster ride. It's been a crazy blur since day 1. Even as I was desperately trying to relish the last few hours of the holiday break, I was glued to my phone making calls and sending out messages coordinating things for the busy days ahead.

On day 1, I had to say goodbye to my last Wingman. Although we lost touch for a bit sometime last year, I still can't begin to thank him for everything he's done for me and everything he's been to me. I miss you already Jojo. Who's going to save me now? :,(

I had dinner at Haiku with college friends last week. I think we only get to see each other everytime Pilar is in town or if I celebrate my birthday. (Where on earth are you Carmencita?!) It's great to catch up with old friends because it really brings me back to a time when things were simpler or at the very least, less complicated. It's good to see that all our lives are somewhat on track and we're all doing okay. I just can't imaging my four years in UP without these girls.

Another thing that I've come to realize is that Manila has definitely gone skinny--Auuggh! I swear, every single that passed by must have been a size 0 or negative. It's so frustrating and harder even when I'm surrounded by similarly skinny friends(damn you bitches, haha!). While I'm currently shifting back and forth from a 0 to 2, I still find myself sadly yearning to be reed-thin and borderline-anorexic like them.

I hung out with the Slut that and the Bitch at Ankie's for a few rounds afterwards. Ankie's is a tiny haunt near my place. I've never been there before until that night. It seems like a good place to hang--cheap booze and yummy barchow. We shared our 'unfiltered' stories and had a good laugh about the crazy mishaps we've been through--the Bitch's embarrassing stories, the Slut's work adventures and of course, my poor choice in men (we definitely had a good laugh about that bit).

Work's still crazy and the people are crazier. I'm trying real hard to keep my tongue -in-cheek and I'm finding it extremely difficult to keep my patented sarcasm in check. Pakikisama they call it. I beg to disagree but I'm not about to launch into an all-out rantfest about this. Frankly, I don't have the energy right now. While I whine a lot, I am very grateful for this opportunity. The stress might actually pay-off in the end. Patience is the key.

Saw my fave psychic over the weekend and she gave me some interesting insights on what 2007 may bring for me. Some are pretty mind-blowing and has got me paranoid over soem things. Some, I'd rather not talk about it but I promise to update everybody in June should she be right. Goodgaawd, the anticipation of things to come might actually cause me more damage than good! I feel so paranoid! :p

2007 has barely started and already I've done something stupid. Gaaawwd! (cue me: smacking my hand on my forehead) I really need to break this bad habit before my troubles run deeper than they already are.

MISTAKE #3
Culture Club

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall to pieces
So we watch them grow
Into strange and pretty faces
I don't know
Clutching to my lipstick traces
Watch them go

Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three
Make mistake number three

It's strange how much it changes
How they want to know
How cynical are people
That's where children go

Dragged into a conversation
They can't hold
It's so sad
But it prepares them for the mould

Why is my love like an ocean run dry?
Why is my love
Such a struggle with life?

You can't bystand all the people
Stand them on their own
They will fall into pieces
So we watch them grow

Make mistake number three
