2007 it is
so what's up?! new year, but it doesn't feel very new. despite that, i guess doing some reflection would be nice. let's start with some basic stuff.
life, or the lack of it. once again, we are back here, the starting point. year in year out, it has been a freaking routine. 2006 happens to be much worse off than previously, or so i would like to think. most part of it was taken up by work. so much so that exercise has been lacking in my life, especially my one and only sport, tennis. intentions to pick up some other sports hit some road blocks, half of it due to my un-disciplined self and the other half to my erratic work schedule.
partying, oh yeah, there was quite a bit intense this year. though it was fun, i don't really enjoy. look at it this way, i have been quite a nocturnal being due to work. add in the partying which only happens during my off days or rare weekends which i get to rest, its burning up whatever fuel i have left. next, the alcohol. i don't and won't deny that i like drinking, but minimal rest+alcohol = immune system breakdown. factor in the smoking that my friends just can't do without in a club, let's just multiply the previous sum by 10. how can that ever be good?! oh well, urban life for you!
family, definitely been neglecting it. work and work and more work, i haven't been going back as often as i would have wanted or as often as i did in the past, during my previous job. various things have and had happened during the past year, mostly unfortunate as well as saddening. makes me feel bad that i was unable to be back home when things happened. between work and family, i had chosen work. well, maybe time for a little change in this new year. luckily none were too serious(in a very optimistic outlook sense) or god knows how it would weigh on my conscience.
friends, made a 5 lost 10. get the idea?! the amount of people that drifted out seems to get bigger and bigger. majority of them, i have no freaking idea why? not that i don't make an effort to keep in touch, nor was it because i kick them out of my life. it would be nice if they could just tell me, "hey, i'm busy. catch up some other time" or if i did something that annoyed them, tell me. if i know or knew why, then hey, i wouldn't keep bugging. its bloody easy to do so just by dropping a message or an email. i'm an adult now, i can take what you dish out. actually, we are all adults now. time to start behaving like one and meet issues head on. in the end, if you think its better to just ignore, its fine. i'm fine with the fact that we lose friends as we grow older. just don't come back.
targets for the new year? new job, new phone, new hobby and maybe visiting some new places?! oh, most importantly, start saving. time to save, and plan for the future.
