Where did 2007 go?

Tried looking for it under my pillow but I just can't seem to find it. On to the last days of the year and here I am debating with myselves about 2007 events that seem to have gone by in a flurry. Did I miss out on a lot or did I have too much fun that time slipped without my knowing? Could be both.

I made a mental note not to excavate my 2007 resolutions because I can't remember what was said much less what was done. I have a very strong feeling that I failed miserably again and so to avoid the guilty feeling, I promised not to remind myself of the things I resolved to do at the beginning of the year.

And just like any promise, this, too had been broken.

Checking off the year that was, naturally starts with a review of the failed resolutions attempt. If I didn't accomplish them in the last year, now is the time to really get to it. Maybe recycling these things will finally convince me of keeping them. Right.

1. get healthy.
Let's not go here. Oh but for the fun of it I did badminton this year [for a week] and brisk walking [in heels when manning functions] and running [again when events call for it, in heels]. Those should count for something, right?

2. make more disciples. sana makapg GT ako sa arneow.

There was an attempt at doing that, at one of our church's programs. But we never got to meet. Mah bad.

3. learn more about God. have the mind of Christ. [this is really tough]

Thank God for friends of Thomas and Bible studies/ Prayer meetings that I get my spiritual nourishment but still, I have a loooong way to go. That's how it is naman diba?

4. sing in church, yehey!

Finally, something I really did. Too bad since the person who kept telling me to do this didn't see me do it the first time. But I have a pretty good feeling he got VIP passes where he was. :)

5. quit being mean. where do i begin?

This being scratched off doesn't count. Haha. I think I was even meaner this year.
