a countdown of mixed thoughts

I just came home from Church, well, not actually in Church cause after I attended the mass, I and my HS classmate went to some of our other classmates' houses just to greet them a happy new year. Well, it is really evident that I have nothing to do right now that's why I'm trying to look for some fun in the internet, but it just came to my mind, " Why not write an article before this year ends?". Is it a good idea? Well, I don't know, but you can't stop me from sharing my thoughts this time.

I came to Church quite late (maybe 10 minutes late). But that was not the point there, I was bit excited for my classmate will hand me down the first Paulo Coelho book that I will be reading.

Now that I'm home, I can't even start reading it because of the noise (bad trip, bad timing).

What else can I say?

Oh....1 hour more, it's going to be 2009.

This year has been really a good year for me, though not all the things that happened in my life was all good (that's always the way it is). I met new bunch of friends. I was able to make it on the 1st semester as an Accountancy student. I was able to go to some of the places I had never gone before (like Camudmud and Sta. Cruz). I was able to rode BUS again, as I always wished. And a lot more.

New year is about to come, I will be hurdling a lot more of the challenges and obstacles set for me. Am I ready? Am I equipped with enough courage? Let us see.

I was laughing because of the many traditions my mom has been following annually. The 13 sphere fruits, the polka dots, the coins, the feng shui's, and the likes. It was not unusual, but it is still funny for my part. Is there really a need to comply with those? But I thhink, as long as you are not compromising your beliefs, then why not.

Honestly, I am quite sleepy now but I'm just trying to stay awake. I want to be awake until 12:00 or 1:00. I want to witness the things my neighbors had prepared to welcome the new year, the way they will make the noise. Though firecrackers are prohibited in our city now, still, we manage and we used our creativity on it, we set another ways of enjoying without putting ourselves in danger. That's a good point, I think. And I'm commending our City Mayor for that.

44 more minutes to go......

That's all I have before 2008 ends...

Till next year!!!!!
