another day, another year
December 31st, 2004 by boon
this will be the last post for the year. i admit that i am really tired and worn out from festivities, wedding planning, much food and drink and irregular work cycles. no time even to reflect… but most assuredly looking forward to the next year, nonetheless. with the current global climate of wars and disasters, i’m just thankful for what i do have right now. who knows what may happen tomorrow.
my company just gave us a lunch affair to wind down the year. there’s not much to do, and i think we’re all just waiting for 4pm to come around to leave. a lot of projects have been put on hold for now, as implementations may hamper ongoing services by our telco clients. they’d much rather sustain regular operations and work on implementing new projects when network traffic has eased off from the year-end.
the bulk of our wedding cards have been sent out. there are still a number of other details to attend to, and i’m thankful for the short respite of otherwise clogged deadlines and software change requests. and all is well in my relationships. mom and dad have their fair share of footwork, and getting more and more involved with the wedding. some people will be going away and some coming home, but we’re expecting the evening to be cheery and relaxing. or at least, i am.
and i’m also thankful for all the helping hands… my friends from high school, chung who agreed to MC for the night, the bridesmaids and groomsmen, my brothers and sisters from grace harmony, and my parents for their patience, love and support. it really isn’t a wedding if you don’t have great people to spend it with. it’s all about being together.
i’m hoping next year will not have as many distractions. i guess that’s why they call it settling down, as though you were kicking up a whole lotta dirt the first half of your life. perhaps, more home-based projects to pass the time. a bit more reading. a bit more breathing. god willing, it will be a good year.
