It is amazing how times flies. Just got up one morning, and heard kids from the Saint Theresa Nursery and Primary School playing loud in the school band. What are they up to? Why are they playing? A friend asked me if I don’t know every school re Hearses for the Youth Day?

Oh! It’s almost 11th Feb here. 11th Feb was always the best day of my life when I was in Primary and Secondary school. Though I hated the march past and all the events preceding it, I always had to bare it because I knew the rest of the day will be gold for me. I really can’t understand why I loved the youth day celebrations so much. I guess it was because on that day, I always get to see kids from other schools dressed in various outfits. Since it usually takes me a long time to save some cash for that day, it was always certain that it would meet me as a wealthy kid

I lost all the fun in Youth Day celebration when I completed Secondary School. Maybe I started feeling too big for it.

Here comes the second month of the year. It is February 2009 already. I woul love to think of the X-Mas and New Year celebrations as something that passed just about two weeks ago. It’s a wonder how fast time flies.

Included on my list of New Year resolutions is the resolution of always keeping weekly and monthly accounts. This means that at the beginning of each week or month, I should be able to sit down for an hour or two and account for the past week or month.

This is personal and for the sole purpose of self improvement. I am not presenting it to anyone. I Guess such a practice helps me know where I am heading to. Though I dropped the weekly accounts and concentrated only on my monthly achievements, I am pretty sure that I would still be having the best possible results out of this.

At one point, I used to find myself asking what I have been doing for the past years. I guess this is so because I wasn’t accountable for my living. This time around, things are changing. I have already made an account of January 2009 and I have at least a 60% success. I hope I will score an A this month.

Hmmm. This is a very common question that proceeds greetings during the early days of January each year.  People have various ways of interpreting and participating in celebrations. Some celebrate by just taking a holiday (away from work) or a trip to a more or less far location. Some celebrate by eating, drinking and dancing to the fullest. Some prefer having a quiet time at home and choose to reflect over the significance of the day being celebrated. For some, it is a combination of two or more of what I have outlined above.

To Start with, the New Year met me in front of my PC, at my job site, while I was just browsing around and making sure my blogs are OK. I wanted to make a blogging schedule for the year, so i visited Good Calendar and signed up with my Google account. Though the calendar looks very mature with lots of functions, it didn’t turn out to be what I expected. I am not saying it is bad, no. I doubt if there can be a better one out there. I signed out.

It was not until 3:00AM that I had a brief sleep, on a couch, and got up at about 6:30AM. I browsed the web for another two hours and went home.

Church service is at 9:00AM so I still got some time. A cool shower and getting into one of my favorite outfits was all I needed.

By midday, I was already home. I had plans of doing some laundry, but on this particular day, I wasn’t really feeling like to work. I wanted to do something I have passion for. Good enough for me, I took home all of my audio CDs and a DVD containing 9 movies. I listened to my tracks, some of which I have not listened for long and they sound completely new and better. The movies I watched were “The Business”, “Smooking Barrels” and “Miami Vice”.

After watching those movies, you won’t believe how deeply I fell into sleep from about 5pm to 10pm. That isn’t really a long time, but what makes it special is that I enjoyed the sleep and it was without any interruptions. When I got up, I took a shower, changed into a more confortable outfit and went straight to my PC. As soon as I signed in to yahoo messenger, there was Lainy saying Hi, and later on Allena and before I knew it, I was exchanging some words with almost everyone at home. What a happy family. I love being in their presence. I was on with Lainy and Allena till about a few minutes past 3AM and reluctantly went to bed after Lainy insisted I needed some sleep.

Well, that’s it. Not a very busy day, and with very little celebrations, but I can proudly say that it ws a great one.

Happy New Year to all.
