Christmas time is here, 2 days to go. Right now, i'm thawing my toes because it is immensley cold, and my upper extremities have lost their sense of touch. There's morning mist now, i can tell because i can see it through the light the streetlamps give off. The only thing that wrecked the mood was some bad mouthed punk carollers who vandalized our front sidewalk, but it's okay. It's Christmas time, and i'm too lazy to argue or badmouth anyone or anything.
Except EJ and my hair. Bahala ka, di pang boy band buhok ko, gago ka hahaha! at least pareho na tayo, Pomada at si Emoboy!
Just came from Yeni's house. Her house is really far, kabilang bahagi ng mundo pare.
And now, for a Year-Ending-Survey.
1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?Went to Thailand with friends for a program thing. Mga walang katapusang roadtrip sa Roxas, Paranaque, Alabang, kung saan saan. Had that band thing (emphasize on HAD), at least the other one is more fruiful.
As Jorel said (I can't find a better way to put it) I've been satisfied with my musical output. I can actually survive improvised jams, connect with people, learned some music stuff, all that jazz.
I learned to tolerate people. To turn the other cheek. To not let small things hurt you, or even the big things. Awww yeaaaah!
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?Nope, i promised to be more productive and less procrastination; which is exactly what I promise to do next year, which I will most probably not be able to do.
