buena mano?
it’s freezing outside, and scratchy inside… inside my nose that is. winter sets in and my body surrenders at the first whiff of siberian winds.
oh well, first month of the year barely over, and it’s not looking good. it’s been one bad news after another. my e-plus mobile phone contract was extended for another year despite me wanting to cancel it already since november last year; now i’m left with two functioning numbers, one with eplus, and another with o2, plus a globe on roaming. my maternal grandma died, someone’s ma died, someone’s nephew died. someone’s marriage on the rocks. jan’s back to wetting his trousers. a cut on one of my copy-editing jobs. the three of us down with some virus. and worst of all, my dad’s not responding to his treatment.
i’ve been taking all in stride. sometimes distance helps. sometimes focusing on the bigger picture helps. seeing the forest, not just the trees. but please, don’t let january be a foreboding of the 2007 that has yet to unfold!

hmmm teka, year of the OX ka din ba?? Kung paniniwalaan natin ang Chinese horoscope, ang year of the fire PIG (2007) ay malas daw para sa mga ipinanganak ng year of the Ox. One feng-shui expert chuva-chu-chu na napanood ko sa TFC even mentioned chuva ng 5 sunod-sunod na kamalasan ek-ek daw ng Ox people this year..
Dahil ako ay baliw, yung mga magaganda lang ang pinaniniwalaan ko…kapag pangit na pangitain eh deadma at in denial ang drama ko. And of course, kinokontra ko na lang ng dasal.
toi toi toi!

[...] if january has been ominous, it seems like this month will be a month of resolution. it’s going to be pivotal, a turning point, a time to choose which fork of the road to follow. it’s not going to be easy, and the consequences will be grave. [...]
