And I've gotten older by a year.
I wouldn't have guessed where I am today a year ago. At that time, I was a jobless but a pretty happy part-timer with such wonderful people at work and as friends. Things haven't changed dramatically, I still feel like the same person I was, only a year older by experience (no major breakthrough in that area).
We had a lovely dinner at Ajisen Dining in Taka the other night. Small affair, but fun nonetheless. Spending your birthdays with friends is the way to go! I often fantasize spending it traveling alone, but the thought of being in a foreign country with strangers celebrating birthday alone is at the same time intriguing but lonely. Or should I be doing that?
Just heard a great news! I'm so excited to hear from expecting parents, my eldest brother and sister-in-law, that it's going to be a ....I will be an Aunt soon enough! Can't wait.
It's also World Cup month! As usual, I would jump on the bandwagon and share the excitement with the world even though I was never interested to see a football match other than World Cup's. Entire nations would take off work and wake up at 3 am to catch 20 people running around chasing a ball. Speaking of which, that's what exactly what I was pondering to do until this moment (of course I'll go to work, but Brazil's match with Croatia is happening at 3 am - now is 10.30 pm). Hmm...Soccer is powerful, even more powerful than Olympics in that it motivates people to do great things (and sometimes, stupid and dangerous things). I can feel it, strongly, the passion that people of nations (warring nations included) share on this game. It brings their differences together for 90 minutes of adrenaline rush and during this 2 halfs, billion of eyes will be glued to their TV screens. What, I ask of you, can do that besides World Cup? No wonder they call it the 'beautiful' game. Well, hope my favorite BRASIL will win. GO BRASIL!!!
Hope this year will bring joy, luck and happiness. To you all and to the world. :)
