When you wish upon a star

I cannot remember the last time I had been under the canopy of a myriad of stars.. But last night was a sight to see. I had a panoramic view of the sky.. unscathed of any impediment in the horizon.. clear, despite the darkness of the nightfall.

More than the fact that I was amazed of the gazillion stars twinkling, the sky stunned me yet again with a blink-of-an-eye-appearance of a shooting star! In my twenty-three years, it was the first time I came across this heavenly body. No, I wasn't able to make a wish. I was so stunned.. then one minute I came telling everybody of the shooting star I saw. I forgot about the wish. I came waiting for another, but to no avail.. My eyes were drooping to take another chance.

The moon was also a stunner. The half-moon, lined with a red shade, hued with a bit of sepia.. It looked a bit sad. It was not with the stars, as if making its own time to shine.

It amazes me to see these so clear, that I do not have to take a flight up to the penthouse.. or to be impossibly in a city without an edifice to hinder me in enjoying the view.

february na!

so fast. january's thirty one days had come to pass.

looking back, as 2006 came to an end, there were a lot of happenings that closed the year with a blast. three outreach activities (book drive, med mission, christmas party for special kids), road trip to tagaytay, six christmas parties (iwa, opi, isd, newbies, kubo, family), four exchange gifts (isd, iwa, newbies, family), first-timers-listings adding up (fort -- brazil, krispy kreme), thousands of photographs. there's just too much with the last quarter of last year that made me realize that the year i had was marvelous.. which made me look forward to another year of more joy and happiness.

leading me to 2007, which came with a good start. refreshed with a positive mindset, with goals to achieve, with plans to put in action, and with a renewed spirit to boost. january has come to pass, and i am proud to say that i have come to put things into perspective.

- an extraordinary experience at pyrolympics (parang may stampede!)
- wall climbing (and dinner and coffee at power!:))
- deja vu (good movie to start the year!)
- EK (jode's first time, our nth time;))
- birthdays (january celebrants, thanks!!)
- badminton (physical activities on the go!!)

february, here i come!

**i've just realized lately that i have a multiply account. which i haven't used for a year, or two. i was sticking with my photobucket account (which i thought was already great because of its 1G size). but i was surprised that multiply doesn't have limits.

**i realized also that the old version of blogger is really history. i think they're pushing their users to switch to beta. i don't have a google account!
