Goals for 2008

Just some things I would like to attain this 2008: Earn a cumulative of PhP__________ (secret!) from blogging. Organize at least 10 events. Clean my room and organize all my things. Move to a better place by June and have my own internet connection at my place. Renew my passport, get my Postal ID, and Voter's ID. Buy a digital camera, and a new phone. Finalize all school-related stuff ie make sure I really graduated already. Attend 80% of the Davao City Council's Sessions. Have at least one blog entry per week for all my blogs. Register my own company. Lose 15 pounds. Supposed to be only 10 but I gained a lot of weight during the Holidays... Bah! Watch at least one movie per month. I watched less than 10 the entire 2007. Organize my finances. Have a working PayPal Account. Have a credit card and not abuse it.

A Happy, Happy New Year at Eden Nature Park

For the second time, our family spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at Eden Nature Park and we had a grand time. Last year, me and my cousins were kinda resistant to the idea thinking it would be a hassle to spend it in a resort with tons of other people. You see we usually spend it at Lola's house with just the family. But we were proven wrong as we had a lot of fun during the countdown. In fact some of my titos and titas danced wantonly on the dance floor while us nephews and nieces spent time in the sidelines. HAHA! Anyway, we spent it at Eden again this year. And it was fun. I rode with Kuya Andrew's family and we arrived there at around 3 pm and immediately had snacks. I had the Ham and Cheese Sandwich. It was ok. I heard that the Turon and the Cheeseburger were really good though. I was assigned to room Gardenia 5. Since I was not feeling well, I spent the afternoon sleeping. Wawa me... While my cousins went to the fishing village to fish for tilapia. Wawa rin mga tilapia... they died and were eaten!…
