Happy New Year

It is now the year 2009. Alas, I lacked the celebratory mood I was supposed to have at midnight. I surfed the internet and played my guitar to practice licks, read Mario Puzo's The Godfather despite watching the film previously and spoiled myself with episodes of Heroes, I curled up in my blanket in the newly made library and made drawings for posting which sickly reminded me of the person I desperately needed.

So here is I want to say to the person I desperately needed:
Like I always did every year, I gave you a call. Well, numerously. Every call is useless if you do not pick it up. So I sent you a text message, a little break in tradition that we shared, and still no answer at this moment. Not even during Christmas, not even when my cat died.

Where are you? What is the new year worth without you calling to say Happy New year?

Well, it took me time to get over it but it is always troublesome to have every happy or sad moment and not share it with you. I'll follow your advice anyway: "Can't catch fish, eat shrimp" and I do love shrimp and I do cherish every advice you gave. As long as I can celebrate my new year with you in mind, I don't have to worry about anything anymore. What's that saying? "Always there in Spirit" ?

Best not think my new year is ruined because it isn't. We should always try our best to enjoy so we could lock away the pain and shame we had experienced in, finally I get to say it, last year. Though it never gets the way we planned and expected, we can always make lemonade.

I did have a helping of waffles. Cheese, butter and honey. Now That's how I want to celebrate.

Welcome to the new year 2009 everyone, what lies ahead will definitely be an adventure so keep your head high, your belts buckled and your zippers closed. Make everyday a party because we need no happy ending, just happy beginnings.
