I know I've made a lot of mistakes and did a lot of things wrong. But I know deep in my heart, I did everything I was supposed to do and on some occasions, even exceed what was required of me. I never asked for anything in return. I do not expect a thank you or a pat on the back because I know I had to do it. Sana lang hindi puro pagkakamali ang mapuna, hindi puro kakulangan ang mapansin, hindi puro negatibo ang masabi. Because I know, despite everything I did wrong, I also did a lot of things right.

Keeping Quiet
Because there are some people who don't think they ever do anything wrong... Because there are times when speaking up will only lead to bigger discussions and fights... Because I know it will not change anything... Because the pain won't go away even when I speak up... Because even if you are wrong, you don't admit it... I am keeping quiet... ...for both our sakes. ...to keep the peace. ...so there will be no arguments.
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.
Some Things I am Thankful For
It's one day before Christmas Eve, and I'm feeling great today. It's like there are endless possibilities out there and I'm bound to have some great days ahead. Despite my problems, angst, and bitterness, there were are things I should be thankful for: I am grateful for the people around me. I've already thanked them before but I think they deserve another mention: my cousins, especially Gwing, Luan, Kuya Andrew, John and Cherry, Cha, Brian and Aimee, and Mae; my aunts and uncles, Mommy and Daddy, Tia Mila, Mam Bebs, Tita Teri, and Tita Ivi; my friends from high school, Neil, Mae, Catet, Wenna, Bbboy, JJ, Kate, Erwil, Ace, Mikong, and Twy; my forever bestfriends Joey and Tiani; my friend from college, Lucky; my SJL Boys, especially Papi, Aiwem, Jobo, Brylle, Toti, Elmer, and Landz; the Sta Ana boys, Pics, Pido, Talong, and BJ; the BT boys, Jay, Rioren, Topher, Cocoy, Chian, Jeztah, Duke, Badz, Adi, Burnz, and Yuki; the other DotA boys, Jay, Brian, Jaffet, Totzkie, the Tagum boys, the Kidapawan boys; my colleagues in Seattle, especially Sis Lysette, Sis Palle, Levi, and Glenn; my employers, Seattle, Brian aka APEX, Kuya Andrew aka Alleba, and Boss Johnny; my landlords…
DotA > Work
After ranting that I will be super busy this weekend, Kuya Andrew invited me to play DotA last night. And, well, I junked my work schedule and played DotA. Got to play with some of the best Manila players. Given that, I sucked BIG TIME. But I had fun. We finished playing at around 2 am, went to McDonald's for drive thru, went home then slept. NOT! Upon arriving home, I worked until... 6 am. RAWRRR! Shouldn't have played DotA at all.
Busy Weekend
I slept ridiculously late this morning last night because I was up working, working, working, and woke up at 11 am. I just came from from the mall because I accompanied my cousin and two aunts. I want to go to sleep but I know I shouldn't. November 30 is almost here and I still have TONS (as in TONS) to finish. When Kuya Andrew comes back from badminton, we'll probably eat dinner then go someplace for WiFi to work again. Then, when I get home, I'll probably continue working. A friend is trying to persuade me to go out drinking later. I want to but I know I shouldn't. Even if I finish my tasks for the day, and still have time to go out, I simply cannot risk sleeping very late again tonight and having some sort of hang over tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will be working on same work stuff again. I thought I'd be near the finish line by now, but I'm not. I simply do not have the willpower, energy, and mental toughness to work very long hours like I used to. So tomorrow, my plan is to just stay inside the house and work till…
