This is one of those times I am glad I am out of high school and primary school: there are no more teachers telling me to write my New Year's Resolutions on a piece of paper, to be passed to her, then read in front of the whole class. During those times, one had to be creative with what to write, I mean, we're talking about earning creds and props.
If I were to take stock of my 2007, I would say it was better than I hoped it would be. Work demands aside, I got to live my life the way I wanted it. I got started on the LIST, regained that spontaneity which I felt was slipping away from me. The latter part of the year kinda revolved around reconnecting and reunions...(part of this entails me having to be more Friendster-friendly, which I haven't been due to reasons I've already discussed. Phew! The things we do....) Of course there were frustrations; it won't be as fun as it was without those stumbling blocks. But we are given two feet and two strong hands to pick ourselves up. It would be such a waste to not use them.
They say one has to resolve to change something, or have something new...Be a better this, do that thing better, yadda yadda yadda....
Truth be told, in the back of my mind, I have my 2008 mapped out, albeit vaguely. There are things I have hoped to accomplish, slowly piling up in that corner until they somehow got embedded into my subconscious that, looking back, made me realize that everything - significant or not so much - I ever did in the past are just small steps towards it. (cue: Collin Raye's All My Roads re: they could not be mistakes when they brought me here.)
So it's all about moving forward, facing a new year in our lifetime's timeline. I won't make resolutions; i'll just go on as I have trudged before. Dissolutions...well...there are simply things that are meant to be wrapped up, ended, left behind...and THAT I will do. As much as I don't fall for that Year of this or that hoolabaloo, during this Year of the Rat, I am going to nip my way to anything handed to me (and anything I can put my hands on).
And with that, Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu!
