predictions for 2009

1. I predict good health for me...
--> LOL. what's a new year with me getting sick... akala ko nga nakatakas na ako sa sickness dahil for the first time in several years, I was sickness-free nun holidays. Tapos eto, pagbalik ko sa office, Monday afternoon, my throat was getting itchy and sore na... then come Tuesday, I have a full-blown colds na. By the time Wednesday rolled around, I'm slightly feverish na. So I predict that since I got the being-sick-part away already, I will be healthy for the rest of the year.


2. I predict a source of love for me...
--> during the holidays, I solidified the idea that has been playing in my mind for quite a while. I mean, although hindi ko sya vino-voice out to friends or colleagues, madalas sa bahay napapag-usapan namin ito ng parents ko during mealtime.

I plan to adopt a baby girl this year.

I've heard what the closest people in my life have to say. I've also heard what my parents and other family members have to say about it. I am turning over in my head their words of wisdom, advices, suggestions, encouragements, etc. After all that, I still think that I am ready to be a mother. My Dad says I'm too young daw, and I should enjoy my life at my age. Sabi ko naman, what else is there to enjoy? I mean, I am enjoying my life... I have enjoyed my life. It's time to move on to the next level. Hindi ko kasi nakikita yung sarili ko settling down with a husband this year or even the next. Waiting two or three more years will not make a difference to me. I'd just look at it as time lost because I could have had a two- or three-year-old by then.

I am still waiting for the counsel of the Chief. I pray every day and every night... every chance I get... I ask for a sign... for wisdom, enlightenment and guidance. I believe that whatever is His will, He will bless me, if not with the baby girl I want, perhaps a boyfriend, and who knows, maybe a husband. :-)


3. i predict good fortune for me...
--> hahahah... another irony... andami ko kasing expenses nung Pasko na nag-roll over pa this new year. I'll feel the pain when the credit bill comes. Hehe... Since I will most likely be bothered by the amount I had spent, I will most likely be "matipid" for the next few months. Hence, I should be able to meet my target "savings" goal by end of the year.


4. i predict happiness for me...
--> I only made one resolution this year: to be happy. So everyday, I wake up with a smile on my face. At work, even when I know I've a gazillion deadlines and crazy schedule, I smile and tackle them one by one. At night, I send text messages to loved-ones - personal self-crafted text messages - telling them how much they mean to me and how blessed I am to be a part of their lives. Basta, this year, I will be happy. If the surroundings prevent me from being happy, then I will create my own happiness. It's about time that I take control of my happiness, instead of relying on others or the situation to make me happy. I always think that tomorrow baka hindi na ako magising... so today should be lived to the fullest. If I do wake up tomorrow, then I am thankful for another day. And I want to spread this happiness to everyone around me... as much as I can and is within my power to help, I will ensure that others around me are engulfed in the same happiness that I experience.

Ayun. Antagal ko din hindi nag-blog. Hehe.

Happy 2009 :-)
