Legacies of 2007

In no particular order:

1. The guy that I love. Love is really not all that amazing. But Jeffrey is. Until he pisses me off. Then I would go berserk. Then we would settle things and life is beautiful again. I think that's love. Relationship would never ever be perfect. But the characters in love would always find reasons to hold on.

2. One of my best friends, Jean, who is now in Canada to be with Ilana, the woman she passionately loves. She passed the bar, but she abandoned it anyway in favor of love. Most people would find that foolish. I think it is romantic. Hollywood could still happen. This world would be a much much better place if we have couples like Jean and Ilana.

3. The job which I love but makes me insane even when I am asleep. I might resign soon. I might not. I love my job, there is still a semblance of happiness in the things that I engage into. But the rest is still uncertain.

4. The business which I tried to start with my two close friends. It failed. The moral of the story: don't do something unless you are completely passionate about it, unless you have the full concentration and the bravado to learn its ropes.

5. The new found friends - the MPs. I already have good friends that I would keep for a lifetime. But this bunch is something else. It doesn't matter that I won't ever know the real names of some of them because they have real identities to protect. It's all about respecting choices anyway. They like boys in the same way that I do. They look like regular boys in the same way that I am. We would go out together, but that doesn't mean that we have to do each other. They know the nuts and bolts of our special world. I may be 27 but I still have lots to learn from them.

6. My internet connection at home and my two favorite sites - Lifeout.com and Limewire. With Lifeout, I don't have to go to Colon street to have a dose of porn. I don't have to suffocate my hard disk with porn downloads. Lifeout offers porn for free at such vast quantities 24/7. With Limewire Pro, I now have some hard to find records. Never mind that downloading music is considered illegal. The records available in local record bars are just so limited that newborns might as well believe that music history began when Britney was first slapped in the butt in the delivery room.

7. I visited Lamitan, Basilan. Two weeks later, the marines that guided us were beheaded.

8. The christmas decors that I don't want keep in their boxes this January. Truly, a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

9. The arts exhibit that we organized for the office to raise funds. It reminded me that before I took up political science, I originally wanted to be a fine arts graduate. I might revisit this passion this 2008.

10. The wrong things that I did. No need to enumerate because I don't want my list to reach 100. Hahahaha.

Happy New Year! Welcome 2008! Please be good to me! :-)
