Me and D and Baltimore City

2006 is my year of great expectancy! Not that I never expected great things to happen in the previous years but because I'm growing up (forward, thank Lordy), I feel that this year is going to be so much better. The Chinese call it the "Year of the Dog". But one of the very wise persons I look up to told me a few days ago that although we respect the Chinese folks' belief of the significance of that, we should rather stick with the claim that it is the "Year of the Overflow"!!! That's what she calls "Speaking Faith". Its like commanding your life to be what you want it to be coz, indeed, your life is most likely what you say it is (Just as you are what you think or say you are). So yea, I think its better to keep repeating in your head that you will have overflowing blessings this year than overflowing umm... dogs... hmmm?

1. As I wrote in my previous blog, I expect a lot of moving on's and changes. I feel like I've grown two rulers high in 2005(though I'm still vertically challenged). Moving on... because I'm awaiting my tickets to Baltimore!!! Manila is a great place and it's still my home (and the flying roaches don't change that fact) but the idea of Baltimore gives me the high because it's something different..and new. My aunt's paying for my fare and I'll be helping her tend her business. Its something exhilirating, firstly, coz I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do and secondly, coz I've never really talked to my aunt all my life until now!!! But its great coz after all the troubles I had with the immigration papers for Australia that I have long been working on, Ive realized that maybe Australia isn't for me...YET. Its a great place and i've been dreaming to go there but I promised myself that I WILL GET THERE ONE DAY. But for now, Baltimore... woohoo!! (My good buddy Matt tells me its terribly cold there though...) :D

Its also great coz I would be in the same hemisphere as all of my Canadian friends and hopefully I'd have the chance to see them in my spare time (if I'd have any). My Canny goose friend Zak promised that he'd fly over to visit me sometime when he returns from his missionary trip to Guatemala and his best friend Rorrie says he'll tour me around Alberta during the spring (If I'm there already by that time)! That's another thing I look forward to with a huge grin.

Aside from all that, I'd also be only 4 hours away from New York City, my favorite place in the world!!! :D

 

2. Another awesome thing I'm expecting this year is meeting up with my best goose, Dan (D, for short..er). We dunno where were meeting up yet though. We're going skydiving (arent we, D?), yipeeeeeeeeee!!! I dunno if that'll ever take away my fear of heights (or if I can really do it to begin with) but the thought rambles my head. We still have to see about that. He's going to be flying to Ireland too in March (from Australia) and so he himself anticipates a lot of exciting new things. But the best thing about D is not his "curly tops" or his boyish good-looks (uhrrrmmm...thats his own description) nor the hilarious song he wrote about me but that he's one real unadulterated unpretentious friend (who's a major goose like me). He has a good head on his shoulders (a dollar for that...mruwahahahaha!) and he always asks me questions I have to research on to be able to answer. Hehehe. This part of this blog is, well ok, a tribute to him (so D, smile ya goose!).

There's more but I have to go back to work...ahehehehe! Peace out!! :)
