events of the past few days made me feel like i'm riding a rollercoaster again. its an emotional thrill and yet one that gets me spiraling between happy and sad. one of the drawbacks of being an OC is that i tend to obsessively overanalyze things - even the mundane ones. you don't realize it yet but you know you have to starting walking away. i'm thankful that i have friends who bear with the constant whining, the same-old-stories and the drama. having "real" friends is a blessing. it helps get you through the day.

after 7 years of being a member, i finally decided to cancel my gym membership. it did became a habit at some point but life gets in the way (or so that's my excuse) and i found excuses not to go. kakapagod e (ROFL!). seriously, i have a plan. i always have a plan B except that i haven't put it into motion yet. the good news at least for now is that i get 24K more money in 2010 (uhmm, make that 22K cause of some stupid rule). that's one additional travel for me! yay!

its mom's bday today. i think she's hitting the big 7-0. one thing i am very thankful for is that at this age, mom is still very much active and strong. i pray everyday for health and safety of my family. i'm thankful for having a responsible mom, despite being overbearing sometimes, has single-handedly raised us. having a dead-beat dad (there i said it) probably helped make me a better person (silver lining! LOL!). family = not perfect. i've dealt with it a long time ago.

all things considered, life is great. now if only i could have you, life would be perfect. maybe.
