I’m feeling much better today, although still tired. I’m getting some strange vibes from my mother, but that’s par for the course. I think when she is hungover or has overeaten, as she has been for the past week, she becomes more tense, projects anxiety out, becomes more needy and finds it hard to reestablish a healthy structure for herself, given that she doesn’t really have one in place to begin with. This is all behaviour that i have wrestled with myself in the past. Today she has basically prepared a large meal for a social occasion for which she neglected to properly invite anyone. Then she summons me over to prepare a dish that i won’t be eating. Sigh. It seems like i’m having food boundary issues with everyone. It is making me more determined to do what’s right for me.

Not one drop of alcohol passed my lips last night and I got up and did a slightly lower intensity Tan sprints (respecting the heatwave) and a mini home Afterburn. Parts of my Tan circuit were shaded by large maples (is that what they are?!) and the sun would flicker through the trees in an enchanting gesture to those who had a clean new year. It was a beautiful thing and i was so glad to be there. I felt it as a gift. I knew i’d done the right thing yesterday even if it was hard. I think i do have the inner strength, i was just unsure if it was there and if i could use it.

I’ve decided i must play the game with this new boy a bit more. (NB: overnight New Love has become New Boy!) Although i haven’t jumped the gun sexually so to speak, and this is good and new for me too, I think i have emotionally committed too soon and i’m going to need to pull back a bit. He might be charming, entertaining and attractive - okay let’s just stick to charming - but i’ve got it going on too. There’s no point rushing into something that i’m going to have to messily extricate myself from in a couple of weeks. Perhaps you can make differences work, but when those differences are as extreme as fitness and narcotics, perhaps you’re pushing against the tide too much. Because he said he’d had a crush on me for 6 months and i’ve vaguely known him for that long, we DO have a nice rapport and he broke up with someone else to go out with me, I sort of thought that it would be okay to be emotionally open. No, i’m just naive, possibly lacking in experience. If he does want to get this relationship happening he is going to have to work a little harder. I’ve probably made it too easy. Even he has told me that i’m “the one with the power”. So i shouldn’t be feeling bad. Have power - eat dry toast with tomato .

Strange. I feel like i’ve woken up from a deep sleep. if only. Anyway the new plan is
that if he wants to hook up today, I will suggest tomorrow instead. Possibly even Thursday *gasp*.

Pardon my hopeless artistry, but the illustration above is my own summary of what my 2007 is like. Some illustrations are literal, but some are mere symbolisms.

I ended 2007 by participating in the New Year’s Eve mass at Rockwell Tent, and by watching the fireworks display at Powerplant. I thought that it is a good way of welcoming the year 2008 rather than watching the fireworks display and festivities on television, and less annoying than the firecrackers of our neighbors. It was during the mass when I came up with this silly idea of writing my first entry for 2008. Year 2007 means a lot to me that it made me feel inspired to discuss it in a nutshell, even for one last time. Some videos here.

I actually wanted to include “Most Important Person Met in 2007″ category. However, the people that belong to this category are of equal importance. They are the major contributors as to why 2007 is really a blessed year. Just like what I keep on mentioning, the year marked a new chapter in my life. In that new chapter, numerous new people came along, some of which became acquaintances, but a rare few became good friends.

First is my MIB family, more particularly my closest and most frequent companions from MIB. I couldn’t imagine how much more stress I could have felt if not for the company of these guys. They also accepted me, including the nasty character in me. They made me feel that in the middle of turmoil, they are just there, and that MIB can be another home for me.

Last but definitely not the least, are the two guys that became my trustworthy sounding board and helped me unconditionally when I was just starting my career from scratch. Even if I met them through a complicated medium, and even if I am just a nobody, they prove themselves to be good friends. Hopefully,we will be pals for keeps.

For 2008, I came up with a list of a few plans and goals that occurred in my mind. When I refer to plans, these are the undertakings that are specific and with concrete actions already, while goals are those that will require a lot of work before realization.

After my series of medication this January and February, I plan to go back to the gym. Believe it or not, I had a short-lived membership in a gym near DLSU, but I wasn’t able to continue because of school preoccupations. I also plan to beef up my savings. I will make sure that at least 10% of my not-so-significant earnings will be saved. Lastly, I shall allocate at least 3 to 5 days of my vacation leave for travel outside the Philippines. I am fine with traveling anywhere, even just at any Southeast Asian nation. Going with a companion is definitely a welcome option, but traveling alone is just as fine. I will also buy my own digicam. I’ve been blogging for more than three years, yet, I always rely on either my VGA phone camera, or the digicam of others.

As for my goals for 2008 (again, I prefer goals rather than resolutions, because the former is more definite), the main focus will be on my career. I shall conduct all the necessary yet attainable efforts to structure my career for it to go to the right direction. However, I know it’s still a long way to go. Certain behavior of mine that will affect such goal need to be overhauled.

I shall also continue my unfinished business in relation to my last year’s goals: to restore a few relationships, that is. The conscious effort of not burning bridges with the people that see some value in me must be improved.

I also intend to seek for little yet meaningful charitable endeavors. The Lord has been great, and this will be my own little way of showing how grateful I am to Him. It doesn’t have to be extravagant and frequent.

Lastly, I will try to work on my “real courage”. Honestly, I admire those people who have the strength and bravery that are not made-up or falsified. Those who have made unpopular decisions, be it in the context of endeavor or undertaking, more so in terms of emotions or in times when other people’s feelings are involved, have really gained my respect. I really have this tendency of either not hurting other people’s feelings, or not hurting mine (or both), even if the unpopular choice will provide the ultimate contentment if not happiness. I really hate it when disagreement, or worse, parting ways, becomes the result of one’s courage, even if the person .

There goes my first blog entry for the year. Year 2007 is generally fruitful, at least for me, and I am praying for nothing but continuity of the good things, if not better, for 2008.
