rants and ramblings

it's a wrap

I've decided to wrap my year early...basically because the year will end on a week day-- and I'm going to be busy preparing for our New Year's Eve Party.. I would not have the time to count my blessings... =D

All in all, year 2003 was a good year to me and my family. We did not encounter much financial problems (Thank you Lord!) and my family is stronger than ever.

January of this year -- I received a phone call for a job. I was feeling kinda desperate cause I'm a newly graduate and at the age of 25 (then) I still don't have any work experience. So, I was so happy to finally get an interview. The interview went well -- and I started working on February 3, 2003.

I thought my blessings will continue with the early release of the Bar Exams, however, I'm one of those who didn't survive. But despite this incident, I remain calm.. which is what I really prayed for. I was regretful bout the fact that I didn't give it my best shot cause I'm reserving it for second chance...let alone the fact, that I wasted my parents' hard earned money.

I turned 26 years old..

I find it hard to adjust to my job since I really don't have any experience answering to anybody. I don't like the feeling of criticism specially in my work. I used to feel bad when they ask me to revise my writing -- but now, I've come to accept that my work will always be revised no matter how good it is so that my boss can keep her job. Hehehehe... My officemates have their own respective issues... so far, I haven't been involved to any office fights (I don't have plans of being a participant whatsoever). I've become closer to judy since she became a co-worker.

Politically, lots of things happened to my country -- the Makati Mutiny, the Naia Take over, the Escape of the Al whatever... the visit of US President Bush, Political instability caused by the PIDAL account.. and issues between and among our politicians. Death of 2 Senators, landslide in Leyte and others.... Hayyy..

I took a Life insurance in order to secure my future.. Felt how it is to take care of myself financially...

I was not able to take the Bar Exams of 2003 because I'm still new at my job and I need to save cash for my review. Ailes did take the Bar, we were there to support her though not morally. After the Bar, Ailes got herself a Boyfriend. Diane also got herself a boyfriend. And I met someone special ---

I did not expect the turn of events. Just like Jennifer Love Hewitt's song-- No ordinary Love. *sings* I was not prepared enough to fall so deep in love....Hehehehe.. Anyway, there's still so many issues to settle, and I'd rather not discuss it here. Frankly, I'm afraid and deliriously happy all at the same time... cause I know the setbacks of my situation. I know what's at stake... and from my records, I'm really not much of a risk taker. As much as possible I wanted the best of both worlds. (Which is really impossible, I know). So here.. finally, I took the plunge... so far.. i'm doing good. I am being love by such lovable person (sweet.. thoughtful... bright.. good looking [hah!] with so much sex appeal...) =D

Before the year ends, I was able to save some for my review-- I just hope that it's enough to cover everything.

Wishes for the coming year:

I wish for my family's health.. continouos financial stability.. prosperity.. I wish I would be able to keep my job, professional growth, stable family ties... and love of my friends. I wish for stronger bond with the person I love, may we last till the end of time. I wish that the coming year would be a good year not only to me but to my family and friends as well..
