The One with the Cranky New Year
Ah, another year has passed. 2005 was a great year, one full of high highs and low lows. i must say, ‘twas a year to remember. i don’t want to go melodramatic, ke-bago-bago ng taon eh. As i bid 2005 goodbye, let me take a moment of silence to remember the year that was.
[silence]
i trust 2006 will be as good as the one that passed. Lots of things to look forward to (the most immediate one being the Narnia opening this Sunday… woooot woooo!). Hopefully, this will also be the year of my independence, both literally (move out of my parents’ house) and figuratively (uy, chismis yan).
There’s also the 2006 World Cup come June. i admit to being a seasonal football fan; i only watch the sport during Euros and World Cups (so sue me). Forgive me, but club competition bores me to death. Perhaps it's because i don't feel any affinity to a team from Manchester or Liverpool or some other place on the other end of the world. With tournaments like the Euros and the World Cup, even if Filipinos don't get to play (haha fat chance), i still get to cheer against countries that i don't like. Darned, i wish i had the moolah to go to Germany, if only to bash them Americans. Repeat after me, in fake German accent: "Bushen, you sucken!"
Oh well, there’s always cable tv. To everyone, best of luck to a new year!

i wanted to start the new year on a good note. i did start the year that way. And then monday came.
She was wearing the ring that boyfriend gave her, one that she hasn't worn for months. i remember the other time she wore it was way back in October, the day they got back together. It's still vivid in my mind because when she showed me her hand that day, sinamahan pa niya ng "look oh!" with matching smile. Ouch.
This time was different though. i couldn't fault her for wearing the ring; it was his gift to her, and they are couple. She had every right to wear it, and i had no right to be upset. i knew that this day would come, and i prepared myself for facing the inevitable. But no matter how "prepared" i was, it still stung. And that's the upsetting part of it.
Things snowballed from there. i got cranky, rubbed off the crankiness on her, hurtful words were said again... haaaay. i wish i can just move on. It's obvious that she has. Why can't i?
So much for a new beginning. Have a cranky new year everybody. :p
