the year 2007 will end in less than 24 hours. i know that this has been said a gazillion times already - time flies really fast. most of the events in our lives seemed to happen just yesterday. a lot of things happened in our lives. they were all good and bad. but since we can not turn back time, let us just look forward to new things that will come our way in 2008. i am actually excited for 2008. a lot of exciting events will happen next year. here are some of them:
- THE CONCERT OF MAROON 5.
this will be on March 5 at the Araneta. i like Adam Levine (particularly his piercing gaze). i really hope i could watch even if it's on a weekday. i am not exactly their biggest fan (though i like them). i am just trying to make up for the concerts i wasn't able to watch this year (Switchfoot, Fall Out Boy, Vertical Horizon - which my brother was able to watch... gggrrr...).
- THE CONCERT OF INCUBUS.
i wasn't able to watch their first concert here back in 2004. so i really have to make sure that i will be able to see their concert. it will be on March 9, Rich's birthday. it's okay if i won't be able to watch Maroon 5's concert as long as i will be able to watch Incubus.
- THE NEW SEASON OF FORMULA ONE/F1 RACE.
2007 brought us a very exciting race season even with the absence of Michael Schumacher. so full of drama and action (Alonso and Hamilton's rivalry, Alonso and Massa's "little fight" after the race, spy scandals, accidents, etc.). of course, i still cheered for Team Ferrari. even if Kimi is the most boring talker, he made up for it by bagging the driver's championship trophy. and i am really glad that Alonso did not win. haha! but next year's race season seems to be more exciting. Alonso is back with Renault. Kimi and Hamilton are still with Ferrari and McLaren, respectively. so it will be a 3-way battle for the constructors' trophy. every F1 fan will surely look forward to another 3-way battle for the driver's trophy. there are also new drivers to look forward to. and, the first-ever night race in Singapore. ain't that exciting already?
- 2008 BEIJING OLYMPICS.
though i don't watch all the sports played in the olympics, i am hoping that the Philippines will finally get its first-ever gold medal.
- THE END OF THE WGA (WRITERS GUILD OF AMERICA) STRIKE
i don't think that these writers want a very long strike. they are also humans who need money to support themselves. i just hope that they would finally reach an agreement with the AMPTP. if this happens, new episodes of my favorite shows (
Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Gossip Girl) will resume.
- MY NEW LAPTOP
i will have this very, very soon.....
- MY NEW PLANNERS
this may sound crazy for most people, but i have 3 planners for next year. Belle de Jour, Starbucks, and one that i got from a party. this is actually normal to me since i am somewhat an OC person. also back in college, i used 2-3 planners. so the quantity is nothing new. just the planners and the things that i will write there.
- THE UNEXPECTED
i am hoping for unexpected things to happen coz they make life more exciting.
these are just some of the things i am looking forward to. happy new year!
TK and Rachel won the Amazing Race 12! there was one leg where every thing went wrong for them but they still made it. there was another one where they were the last team to arrive but luckily for them, it was a non-elimination leg. so they had to work so hard (they had an additional task - Speed Bump) in order to catch up with the other teams. they still made it and was the second team to arrive just in time for the last leg of the race. they were able to catch up with Ron and Christina (the leading team) during the Final Road Block. then they won. good for them. :)
