August Countdown

This month is special not only because it's my birth month (ahem) but because I have resolved to accomplish "things".

So the countdown goes...

...to having an "organized" online life. Since my social life is practically "non-existent" for the past few months, I'll use the little free time that I have organizing my online profiles. I got a "wakeup call" when an online friend left a message and told me to "prune" the comments there. Geez. I haven't visited that site for a looooooong time. Now that I have a broadband connection (oh well, so far GLOBELINES SUCK, BIG TIME!!!) if ever it fulfills its promise of faster connection (duh it's on dial-up mode now) then this is achievable.

...to organizing my closet. My shoe rack is pristine. There's not a pair there that I don't use so am proud to tell the world that I have accomplished something. But my closet is a different story. I long for a walk-in closet and I got that wish, albeit briefly, early this year. But my brother and his family moved in to my parents' house a few months back so I had to give it up (waaaaaaaah!). It was so harrrrrrd for me to do that but well I am a considerate person and this "move" is not a permanent thing anyway. So now, am not living in a suitcase but in plastic containers! My clothes and other important stuffs were randomly placed in round containers that my mother collected through the years. And she's nagging me to look through them and give away stuffs that I don't want to wear anymore. Ok, Nay, I'll check it out.

...to an out of town getaway. This is something that I look forward to every weekend. My Kuya will usually announce that the we (with my other siblings, all boys!) are going to our parents' farm. Most of the time, am the only one who readily says "of course, am IN" so we'd end up going with extended family members instead, i.e., aunts, uncles. Life is good this way.

...to an out of the country trip once a year. Last year, it was Singapore. This year, well that I have to tell you later on.

...to a new computer. My old reliable desktop is four years old but it's in good running condition (thanks to my cuz and bro for setting it up). I just want a faster one, a notebook, to add to my network. I already got a digicam and celphone. Yes, a notebook, definitely!

...to new things. I want things to happen soon. I will update you when it happens. I don't want to preempt things.

...of course, to my BIRTHDAY! Yessssssssssssssssss. As usual, my brothers will take care of the food and the drinks and the funny stories. Bonding time! Every year, my love for them grows wider and bigger and higher, they never fail to amaze me you know. The boys, as I call the three of them, are always there for me. Well, we are there for one another. My parents have given me a house, so I can't ask for anything more. =))

...to the friend who will greet me first. The early greeter gets a token. My high school friends know about this. Enough said.

I am blessed. No gifts needed for this birthday. I have enough. Seriously! :P
