Had my first try at Capoeira last night. My legs hurt like hell now from all that stepping and kicking, but it's sooo worth it. I love it!

I finally finished that looong book I was reading: Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. It's such a good book, I urge everyone to read it, especially if you have a great appreciation for architecture and the medieval times. Go!

I hate that I've been procrastinating on my violin studies. I really have to start practicing again. My new one, the one I've been putting money on (and to this date still is unnamed) is still in the music store. And it's February already! Gising, Anj.

*****

I can't believe it's February already! The 5 months that I've been here sure have gone by fast. Really fast. Ayoko na mag-reminisce about how Februaries have always been, made-depress lang ako. Instead, I'll just wonder what I'll be doing this year.....heehee.

I started jobhunting again. Applied for 3 jobs at the County. I love teaching, but I can't keep just being on-call for jobs. And it's almost Spring, mabilis na lang till Summer. I don't wanna be jobless come June. Kailangan na career-in to!

Masaya na masakit....

...parang buhay.
...parang rowing.
...parang pagpapa-tattoo.
...parang snowboarding.

Ano pa ba?

Wah. Ang weird.

Patay na si Heath Ledger. Nanonood pa naman ako kahapon ng Casanova. Tapos the other day, 10 Things I Hate About You. I even blogged about it.

Shame, feeling ko pa naman he was a good actor.

Ano ba yan, people dying left and right. And how unfortunate that everytime, drugs have had something to do with it. It's scary how some split decision can go bad on you in a snap. Just like that.

"And I'm.....back in the game!!!!"

Random thought. Wala lang. I was watching 10 Things I Hate About You (which I will never tire of watching, ever) last night and the line just stuck.

It's the fourth week of the new year and I'm not in my normal it's cold-wake up early-go to work-look for raket phase this year (although it is cold and i am indeed looking for raket or something more), and times like these are usually reflection time for me. The past few days have been nothing but reading, watching movies, running, cooking, driving around, staying away from the computer, not sleeping right--I'm bound to have a thought or two pop into my head, right?

So (like an annual financial report at a big boardroom meeting), here's my first realizations for 2008 (bow):

• Some people can have a million reasons to justify their selfishness, and not one will make sense.
• In the eventuality that I will have children, I will love them with all of me, and never let it get so bad that I have to ask others to love them for me.
• An ugly past is a lame excuse for stupid decisions.
• It's OK to miss people, even after you've gotten back to the rhythm of things.
• I have a growing addiction to colorful hoodies.
• I will never get tired of watching 10 Things I Hate About You.
• Take the flab and the fondness for tukey legs away, Henry VIII could have been a total hottie back in the day.
• I like to run, but I'm afraid it's not for me (cos my right ankle freaking hurts after everytime!).
• When I have kids, I will never make them feel like they owe me big time for having borne them.
• When people tell me I'm beautiful, I'm both pleased and kind of bothered (like, "Aww, thanks." and "Uh, why?" at the same time. Aside from, "Um...duh!", of course. Wehehe, joke).
• I think I've found my bliss, finally :)

dahil isa akong level nine na baboy na piiiiink....

The first best words that I've ever heard (well, seen, kasi nasa blog) in 2008 were from my BFF Leni (the Paris to my Nicole, wahaha):

MAKE A FUCKING DECISION AND STICK WITH IT.

Thank you! Gawd.

run, anj, run!

And save enough to get me and Mama on that plane to Spain.

Those two are the only resolutions I have for 2008. And that thing about surprising myself. Three.

Should be easy enough, huh?

unang post sa bagong taon.

First day of the year.

I was browsing through friends' blogs and stumbled upon this quote from Neil Gaiman, from my good friend Olivia's blog (who herself has been a warrior the past 2007):

"May your year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing (or dance) or live as only you can. And I hope somewhere this year, you surprise yourself!"

So for 2008, let's all suprise ourselves :)

HAPPY 2008, EVERYONE!
