New Year, Hopeful

It's just short of two hours before new year and here I am instead of celebrating it with my family. I am welcoming the year alone (and the sleeping baby in the other room). My boss were out for a new year's party.

I won't go anymore to the details (for now) as to how come my trip was postponed. I'd like to brace the coming year with just positive vibes (talaga lang ha).

My boss were so happy that I agreed to stay the new year, coz I was still to push thru for my trip (dec 27) but have had to fly back (jan 2), after giving it a thought I chose the other option which they laid out on me (after that unexpected turn of event came up), which was to go in 3 weeks time but stay for 2 weeks and a half in pinas. We were in Sammy's(my boss) father's villa in Fayence for the xmas. We were just back yesterday. They were supposed to stay there until january 2. But because I am here now, they came back and so happy that they can go to this party. Someone is going to babysit their baby. They wouldn't have gone if this friend (who was supposed to look after the baby for a month) stayed anyway.

I don't mind sulking right now in front of my laptop anyway, since most of my flatmates are working right now. I'm off tomorrow lunch though. I heard that my flatmates have prepared something tomorrow lunch. Myhousemate Greg, who's like the chief of the house, since we just share a space from him and the one who leased the house, and two other male hausmate love to cook. So there, I am spare from the kitchen, at least for cooking. I'll do my share in washing the dishes though.

I phoned home 5 pm here, which was exactly the strike of midnight sa pinas. I got to share with my family the loud noises of the entrance of the year. I thought I'd be sharing this festivity with them, after the 8 years.

Anyway, there's always a new year. So more reason for me to smile about.

Happy New Year Everyone especially those who are far from their families, like me :D
