2007

I've been in this super hyper mood ever since the Christmas season began. Maybe, it was feeling renewed after a 4-day flu respite. Or the excitement as I shopped, wrapped gifts and packed for a Manila Christmas. The week before the holidays, everyone has fallen victim to my "annoying" and bratty antics. Hahaha. It's good to be a different person at times :)

I welcomed the new year with pretty much the same attitude as the closing of 2006. I am excited about the endless possibilities that this year will bring. I, too, am hopeful that I will be graceful in handling whatever will come my way.

I promised myself that I won't fall into the traps which I used to get myself into. For one, I won't allow myself to expect things that won't be there. Also, I will acknowledge all the warning signs and proceed with caution. And lastly, I will not get upset over situations which do not really matter in the grand scheme of things. All these are in the effort to make this year happier, drama-free, and devoid of any emotional stress. I just have had enough of that.

4 days into the new year, though, I find myself being carried away and displaced from my state of absolute positivity. I had to go on a 5 minute bathroom break just to pysche myself and battle the ugly feelings that are threatening to surface. But I won't succumb. It does not matter and it is not worth stressing, fretting and being upset over.

I open my notebook and start writing. By the time I get to writing this sentence, I feel much better already :) To be able to infuse positivity even when I don't feel like it probably means that I have grown and matured... and I'm a little proud of myself for that. I guess it's just time for a new me :)

As I said in my new year's text message, I feel and strongly predict that this is going to be a fabulous year. Let's see...
