honestly not much happened to me in '08. left ABS-CBN and went to GMA for work. helped shoot beb's indie film. went to beach with my best high school friends--the only time i can actually call vacation. mostly i was immersed in work. i worked six days a week and when i AM at work sometimes there's just plain nothing to do and it is somehow monotonous but tiring. i enjoyed being a copywriter more, not gonna lie. but i believe GMA is a better company.
i have high hopes for 2009, though. and not just because it's another new year. i learned a lot about relationships in '08. now maybe i can relax more, loosen my grip a bit more, quit being emo when there's nothing to be emo about. (fight emo urges, neku sakuraba says!) and maybe get to writing that script i said i would write but totally forgot about. ^^;
- SO! new year is about to come in and i just lost a bet. XD see, a few weeks ago i watched wanted as it was playing on the bus, but i didn't get to see the start and the ending. when bro-in-law said wesley fired a bullet that disengaged its parts like a rocket at the end, i was all gtfo nowai i dun believe you because! it sounded so... far-fetched. and he said he'd show me but i'd have to buy cake for new year dinner. and this morning he showed me. hdkasjdhaks. honestly that movie is too violent for me. but anyway. now they're out buying the cake with my money. T^T
- SOOOO! schedules for next month are out, i get graveyard shift, but i don't care I HAVE TWO OFF DAYS NOW AJHSJAKDBJASA finally finally i am a normal person once again!!! and even better, my off days are saturday and sunday. like a normal person. SO HAPPY ♥
-
cynicalism's flailing over the world ends with you has renewed my interest in the game so i am playing it again. also hoarding icons. and searching for neku/shiki fics, because they are otp do not deny it.
i have found just one so far the rest are mostly neku/joshua, as expected :\
- i now have 99 icons and i do not know what to put in the final, 100th slot. any suggestions?! :D
- random convo
nadin: OH KAACHAN
nadin: I WANT NEWS TO RELEASE A NEW SINGLE.
me: YES
me: WHY NOT FOLLOW UP 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' WITH 'HAPPY NEW YEAR'?
- and lastly
LET'S RING IN SOME
