1st post of 2006
Happy New Year to all.
it is a wet new year here in the bay area. in fact, since mid December, it was a luxury to see the sun. believe it, this must be one of the wettest winter. sure, it rained last year too, but nothing quite compared to this. several rivers in the north bay have overflow and some areas are badly flooded. where is the famous 'california sunshine'?? the rain hasn't stopped since last night. reminded me of the rainy days at home......
ok, so the new year is here. resolution? none. it has been ages since i last had new year resolutions. but that is not to say that i live aimlessly. i know what i need to do with school, i know i need to get a job, blah blah blah.
anyway, i was too sick to actually usher the new year in a big way. yeah, i started running a temperature on new year's eve after dinner. though we hangout at Larry's place, i was too restless to even joke. I just sat on the couch, shivering under the blanket, watching the countdown in Times Sq, NY. the rest of the gang joked and laughed, but i was half dozing off. so much for the first few minutes of the new year.
got home about 3am and slept till 3pm on the 1st day of the year. got up, ran some errands and went to bed by 11pm. i guess my body is screaming for some rest. as i said, it has been a busy quarter, with school and everything else.
it was the first time i got really ill since i got to the bay area. it's not that bad. it was also my own fault - too much chocolate, chips and deep-fried stuff within a few days. i should know better that my body cannot take that. ah well.... that's the punishment for not having enough discipline.....
so, coming back, new year resolution, i think there is only one - that is to be discipline - to do what i have to do and not procrastinate.
