I've got a feeling, that 2010's gonna be a good year

i've got a feeling, that tonight's gonna be a good night

What's in store for me in 2010? A LOT. Because i've planned a lot, and i'm happy that I did! 2009 was a year of spontaneity. And 2010 for me will be the year that my plans push thru!

This will start with a role change at work where i'll be finally be put into a more technical role. I know it'll be difficult going back to being DM and tickets, I know i'll regret being on shift again on holidays, I know there'll be sleepless nights because of big issues but at least this is what I choose to do. (second choice that is)

Then we've got Australia with my sisters in March. I'm looking forward to that because it's the first visa-needing out of the country trip i'll have. It'll be out of Asia and it'll be a whole different season (autumn!) and enviro. OOOH, and I hope Wicked will still be showing there. To the great outback, here we come!!

And 2 years in the making, i'll have the EURO TRIP with chesca!!! We've been moving and moving this but i know this time it'll push thru. We'll be planning this ourselves so i'm expecting mistakes and inefficiencies in prices and scheduling but it will be great! mistakes and all! that's what's fun being with chesca, it doesnt really matter how many mistakes or wrong turns you made, because the journey is the adventure! Idol ko si chess! ang lakas ng loob, hehehehe.

Highschool friends are planning our first major out of the country trip too -- somewhere in asia lang. After SCs wedding. This is another experience altogether. Out with the girls -- girl bonding and girlie activities. hehehe. I know it'll be fun...and magastos. I have no idea where i'll get the money yet, but as long as I have work then it'll come. =P

Speaking of work, this year i'll be turning 5 in HP. WHEW, yes it has been THAT long. I'm actually a senior now in the team and it feels good and awful at the same time. Good because i know the ins and outs already, but awful because I know i'm getting old! hahahha, yes people are mostly younger than me nowadays. So this year, i'm looking at updating my resume. Its been great with HP but I want adventure out of the country -- Singapore specifically where it might be a good and safe place to start. I want to do this with chesca who is a seasoned OFW. hehehe If she gets a job there i'll start looking too.

And in between these major plans, I have a bucket list which will definitely go hand in hand with the 27 things I'll have to accomplish while i'm 27. Who knows, maybe i'll find love this year....maybe not. Definitely, I'll find God and thru each and every experience I'll praise Him for giving me these opportunities to experience life and share myself to the world.

ready to run!

i'm so excited... i just can't hide it! it will be my first run tomorrow morning. hopefully this will be the start of many more runs. ...and maybe this may be the way to get to know you-know-who. hehehe

if i could only write it all down here..i would. but for now i'd rather keep these exciting stuff in my head. =P

dating

so i told my highschool friends to set me up on a date. the thought runs chills down my spine. what if i dont like him from the start? what to talk about? what to wear? what if we have totally nothing to talk about anymore? what to do after if you dont like him?

why go out with a complete stranger? sounds insane to me. on the other hand, it is still just as difficult and awkward to think of dating a guy friend. for one, you definitely have something to talk about. you have things in common. you know he's great to hang out with. you know how he looks and sometimes this wont matter as much coz you already know the personality -- so in a way madadala na lang yun kahit di mo talaga type. he's probably seen you in your worst and knows trash about you but likes (as in you are friends) you anyway. BUT if things turn sour then can you just go back to being friends? Won't it get weird transitioning from thinking of him as a friend to something more?

I really try not looking at guys (guy friends) as prospects so that you can see and get to know them in a very objective light. Not just seeing the pogi points but knowing them for who they really are. It makes it extra difficult though to see them in a different light afterwards. The problem with me is that if i like a person as in crush-like then i become weird around them. hahaha -- eto na ang effects of growing up in an all girls' school. I think that i'm very obvious around my crushes.... i might either just keep on smiling, be too conscious about myself, or be masungit to counter being obvious.

SO. How DO I meet my 'One'? Am I even fit for this relationship stuff? Is it meant for me to pair up or maybe i'm meant to be single forever?
