It’s 2007.

Another year. What’s new? I tried to recall what happened last year, all I can remember is that I spent it with my family.

New Year’s Eve was spent at my aunt’s house, a block from ours. We had a family dinner first in our home. My sister’s boyfriend was with us. My dad asked why Ryan didn’t come, I just said that he’s with his family. There were 8 wine glasses that my mom prepared, and 1 of them was left in the cupboard because it was supposed to be for Ryan..

Anyway, in my aunt’s house, there were lots of food and drinks. I didn’t eat anything there, I just had glasses of wine. Yes, glasses. I didn’t get drunk, though. As usual, there were fireworks all over our subdivision. My cousin, Tom, was the one who lighted a dozen fountain firecracker. We were all outside and we watched the beautiful fireworks display from our rich neighbors.

We played games, like “newspaper dance”, “stop dance”, “bring me” and “longest line”. My aunt threw 5-peso coins in the air for us to take. All of us were happily scuttling for the coins. I only got a hundred-ten. Not bad.:thumbsup:

The party ended at 2am. We all went home to rest, but I didn’t. I was busy making other plans, plans that didn’t happen. Well, a few days before Sunday, Dyan asked me if I wanted to go with her and Glenn to Laguna. I said “No.” because Ryan said, “You’re not spending New Year’s eve with me and you’re spending it with someone else?” So yes, I declined, knowing that Ryan would go to work at 3:30am today, Jan 1. BUT 2 hours before his shift, he said that he won’t go to work anymore. I thought, What if Glenn picks him up from where he is and drops him off here? So we made plans. Then, I called him on his cellphone and everything just became complicated. The ending? The plan didn’t push through and I slept when the sun was already peeping from the horizon.

I slept soundly with a series of dreams that took place in one setting. A building. A creepy old building. In my dream, I live on the 10th floor. I always end up riding the elevator, which allows you to see each floor, the people who live in it and what they’re doing. I was always scared to stop on the 5th floor, because there lived a little boy, who in my dream, I knew was dead. My dream repeats with the same scenario, different situations, same plot. Creepy.

I woke up at 12:30pm and checked my phone for messages. Ryan wanted me to call him, so I did. He’s still at his grandma’s, he wanted us to meet. So we did. We went to the Gateway mall. We just had lunch and strolled inside the mall. We had coffee at Figaro and then decided to head home 10mins before 6pm. We rode the LRT train and got here by 6:30pm. I love riding the train. No traffic! :cheerful:

We just hung out here at home. Then we sat at the gutter outside. We talked about a lot of things, but mainly it was about his career. He wants to resign from his current job. He wants to have a month vacation before he works again. Of course, I support his decision. I can feel the heaviness in him. I can see that he is unhappy. He said that working for a call center took over his life. He can’t do what he wants, when he wants to. I can understand how he feels because I went through that more than a year ago. I sent him the resignation letter I submitted to my boss so he can get an idea from it.

We both agreed today that we’re going to be more open to each other. Talk about things without fear of hurting each other. We want our relationship to be more honest, non-judgmental and we hope that this would make our lives easier, and most of all, we’ll both be happier.

He said that 2007 is our year. A better year for both of us.

May JOY and PEACE of MIND rule your 2007.
May SUCCESS in all your endeavors be in order.
May LOVE and HOPE be in your hearts.
Have a blessed New Year everyone!
