Hi Ibyang! Thank you for sharing your thanksgiving

I blame it on the fact that my ISP here at home won’t access my site simply because my address has an underscore and so I lost the drive to write.

Just the other day, my friends and I talked about our milestones for the year.. and boy, 2007 sure brought a lot! I’ll summarize them for you. I finally:

1) Fixed my bank accounts and finances by opening time deposit account, checking account and a dollar account.
2) Took the next big step in my relationship with A. We invested in a condo. Which means, I
3) Talked to a lawyer for the first time in my life. And that meant not understanding what he was saying half of the time. I felt like a non- blonde blonde. (I also realized that lawyers can be so negative but that’s just how they have to be because it’s their job to find loopholes and stuff (hahaha! so blonde!) and so, for the first time also, A and I decided “ahhh! screw what the lawyer says! let’s go for it!”
4) Became closer to A’s high school barkada who have become my barkada as well. (Incidentally, all of us got condos at the same time but not the same places so we know what each of us is going through). They are the people that I hang out more with. Normally, our meetings are unplanned. The type that they would text everyone 30 minutes before and everyone would still show up. The fact that I can meet up with them at the last minute just shows how independent I am (because I don’t need my parents’ permission or have to worry about them questioning me what time I’m coming home) or how I have control of my life.
5) Struggled with A’s time and work load. (You know how it is, right, Toni? Bagong ahensya, bagong buhay!)
6) Reached the 5 year mark with A (yeay!)

And most importantly, and also the most unforeseen event:

7) Developed a closer relationship with God. (This surprised me because earlier in the year, I never prayed simply because I would forget! This relationship grew in November and December.)

I would say that the best word to describe 2007 for me is GROWTH. (Pwede din MATURITY!) I became an adult yet at times, I still feel like a child.

I do miss reading your blog, Cat!

Looks like you had a momentous ’07, Cat. Lots of grown-up stuff going on with you, I’m happy to hear all of them! Growth is the keyword, that is true.

Here’s to a fantastic ’08!
