So strange
I can't believe it's been so long since I posted an entry here! Needless to say, a lot has happened in my life since last September. For one, I turned 30. I have to say, that turning 30 was one of the best times of my life. 2007 in general was one of the best times of my life. Even with the breakup. Actually, 2007 was great because of the break-up. I can honestly say that breaking up with Mike was one of the healthiest things I have ever done for myself. I still care for him. He still holds a special place in my heart, but I wouldn't have experienced 99% of 2007 if I was still with him.
From April on, my life has been moving forward at full force. I've been reconnecting with family, old and new friends, meeting tons of people, drinking unmeasurable amounts of alcohol, trying new things... it's no wonder that everyone who I haven't seen in awhile, they all take one look at me and often say, "You look so happy!" And I am. Not that it's always been easy. And I'm not this giddy about the present and future all the time. But overall, I'm doing really well. The drama that comes in once awhile just makes me stronger. Yeah, I'll mope for a day or two, but then soon after, you can hear me say, "Fuck it!" and then I'm off again.
Now 2008 is here and there are so many things I want to accomplish this year. I'll post some of the PG-rated stuff here (haha!). My paper journal has it all!
- Bay Area Boot Camp starts January 21st. I will be participating 3 days a week for a whole month.
- Bikram Yoga: I want to get back into this! I seriously need to detox from all the drinking I've been doing since I became single.
- Young Filipino Professionals Association: Get more involved with the Filipino community. Some one wants to start an East Bay chapter so maybe I'll get more involved with helping set that up.
- Watch Spring Training! My brother and I are planning to go watch the Giants play in Scottsdale. A side trip? Go hiking in the Grand Canyon
- Learn how to swim. I didn't get to this last year. But that's cause I didn't overcome my fear of wearing a swimsuit. Hopefully Boot Camp and Bikram will help with that!
- Learn how to play a musical instrument. Playing Rock Band with my guy friends on NYE reignited the desire I've had since I was kid to play the drums. Unfortunately, my mom made me take up the flute. Ugh... girly!
- Solo trip! I'm trying to take off for 3 weeks in September. We'll see if work allows that. I have an invite to go to Oktoberfest with these German guys I met in Barcelona. I think I might take them up on their offer and perhaps take off to Greece or Eastern Europe on another solo trip.
Yeah, what's so great about the beginning of a new year is that you're so inspired. But I seriously have nothing holding me back anymore from accomplishing any, if not all of these. There is so much more I want to experience, I need to experience before I can get into another relationship. I think I need to be single for at least another year to get things out of my system. But in actuality, I'm not sure if I'll ever get it all out of my system!
