Happy Chinese New Year!

In memory of my great grandmother who I was told never did actually learn how to speak fluent Tagalog. She preferred talking to inanimate objects than actual people--most probably in her native tongue. And they thought she was a snob! These people!

(Makes sense to me, I'd do that also if every time I speak people would give me stares because they don't understand a word I'm saying. I won't mind if they call me loony either.)

Anyway, Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy New Year!

2008 was a year full of surprises, some amazingly sweet and some were painfully bitter. But since I am not one who loves misery for company I chose to be a stronger person than I was last year.

I have lost people I thought were friends but the new ones I have met more than made up for the void they left (for lack of a better word I used void even if it does not really mean that much to justify the word void).

I am thankful for the blessings and for the people who stood by me despite my gaffes and shortcomings.

New year, not exactly new life, I am still the same old Che but I am leaving some part of me behind.

I am moving on and retrieving some aspects of my life that was not a part of me the last five years. I realized I have missed a lot and took things and people for granted. Now that I am liberated from my past life I am looking forward to the new year as a mix of the old and the new me.

I am happy and more at peace with life now. I hope to see Mickey and Donald soon. I won't pretend to love my school again. And crush ko na ulit si Rich! :-D

Happy New Year everyone!
