Another Year Older, A New Year Just Begun

So, it's the start of a new year for me. Started it with watching a great film that was recommended by Yanee, August Rush.

But before that, I was spending time with the people I love, and yes, some I do love more than others, with a Valentine's treat by B.I.T.A.W. at MyLAP. It was part improv, part prepared, completely fun. It's the first of a monthly series that the group would do. Need entertainment? This is much much better than YouTube! :) They'll do it every second week of the month at My Little Art Place at Wilson St. in Greenhills.

A few days after, I met with my business partner and things get clearer. Although we haven't gotten yet our machinery at least we're already in the right direction and last night I've already got a working logo! I'll just announce it when we're already starting production.

Had a quick chat with someone I share my exact DOB with and Jay said that it's not as exciting as before and that only the decade birthdays would matter. I begged to disagree internally but to some point, it's true. But what the hey.

Yeah, I guess significance right now would come from the changes I face. It's a new year and I have a new affliction and a new job if all my requirements pushes through.

I'm not that excited but at least one thing is where my heart could be completely, the business Al and I is nursing to existence.

And tonight is Below Zero Night! Text me so I can tell you where.

Just saw the pilot of the 14th season of The Amazing Race and I'd have to say that you have to scratch what I just said. Life is exciting, it's just a matter on how you look at it. No matter what deficiency you might have when facing it.

What do I write about?

I've always been curious about looking at tag clouds since it gives me a snapshot of what the blog is all about. Although most likely certain words would be seen out of its context, it gives a you a certain intrigue on how the topic was discussed in the site. Stumbled upon a side that generates a tag cloud and here is mine:

New Sense of New Year

For the most part that I have been conscious of time, I've never really saw how a second's change every time the year ends could mean so much. It was simply just another day changing for me. Plus fireworks, food, and some fun, of course.

Eventually though, the powers that be gave me much reason to see how a new year is really a good start.

Earlier last month, my grandmother moved on to unphysical things.

At about the same time, things snowballed in my first job. Conflicts in values arose and circumstances led me to knowing that I've lost too much time already with my family and even with friends. It was time for me to be more regular. The thought "I miss my weekends" have been lingering in my mind for months already and this was the nudge that it was now time to go. I did want to go earlier but the nature of the job asked me to stay even up to just the end of the previous year.

Another family-related change was that my sister finally came back home. She did try living on her own but it's still different financially when you do live at home. The change is in adjusting to having her here again practically all the time as we are both jobless as of now. By choice for me, at least.

With changes always come opportunities. Being jobless has made me open to more time to learn driving, finding a job that I could love more and where I could apply what I studied more, and more rediscoveries and discoveries.

It's not just the year that has changed, but my existence has made a sharp but welcome curve.
