Looking Back and Moving Forward

2007 was a great year. I won and lost. I met people and gained friends. I built bridges, but also burned some. Achieved and bragged. Lost and was humbled. Let go and moved on. New experiences, new things.

In a nutshell, I loved myself in 2007. I was true to myself. I gave myself credit. I forgave myself. I was reunited with my Savior. Most importantly, I knew myself a whole lot better this year.

But enough of 2007, I am more excited with the coming year. I'll be a year older in the month of January. Mina will be back home in April. My laptop will be fully paid by May. I sort of promised myself to visit friends in Singapore on or before July. The Kolokoys promised that we'll go to Boracay in June or July. And in December, I do hope all the Kolokoys will be able to join us for Christmas breakfast in Tagaytay.

I want to make another list, of the things I'd like to buy for 2008, just like the one I made last year. Here is my "I CAN'T BUY NOW" List:

1. That new watch that I've been pining to buy since last year. But I sort of changed my mind with the brand. I think I like the designs of Fossil as well. If I can afford a Tag, I just might buy that.
2. A new techie gadget. Ipod? Iphone? PSP? PS3? Wii? Professional Camera? Mobile phone?
3. An all-expense paid vacation for me and my family. Of course, it will just be somewhere here in the Philippines.
4. A condo or house (or just start paying for one, haha!) that I can call my own.

A friend once told me, as your salary increases, your "wants" become different, so your expenses also increases. Hmmm.. Are my "wants" too rich for my blood (salary)? Hmm... We'll see. Pwede pa naman ako mag call center sa gabi ah! Hahaha.. Joke joke joke!

A Prosperous New Year to everyone! God bless us all!
