Five things I want in 2008

What? Two weeks without updates and you come back with a meme? My shift sucks cus im at primetime. Hello outages, hello mail support, hello escalations, hello coaching. Gaah. Good thing I found time to answer this meme, also because this Ade person did it on his website! Ok, Its hard to think of just five things because I still don’t have half of the stuff that was on my Christmas list. But the meme that I got tagged with wants just five. gaah. From the list I had, I just bought the PSP and a new phone (not the N95 though ) but its ok cus I know I will get them this year. *crosses fingers* So, what else am I wishing for? Think, think, think… AHA!!

1. I want to go diving in Palau  - It is, after all, #1 in the underwater wonders of the world because of its rich marine habitat. With the summer season fast approaching and Palau being near the Philippines, I wouldn’t mind flying there to see their famed Rock Islands, spend a good week (or at least 5 days) under their waters (err…) or just basking under the sun, sipping pinacoladas, listening to good music, aahhh the life. 

2. I want a car or my own condo unit - I have been asking my parents for a car since graduation and well, you know how parents are, they would always answer "Baket hindi ka maghanap ng magandang trabaho at magipon ka ng pambili mo?" (Why dont you look for a job that pays good and save up for a car?) I always say, the rule about money is to never spend your own. Well, obviously that didnt help. Now, we all know about my house trouble, so I want my own place that way I dont have to worry about housemates leaving or rent shares. Of course, this should be bought by my parents too. hehe

3. I want my own domain - I just want one. Should I get one? I kinda like tweaking with designs and templates for fun. What a geek this Penny.

4.  I want a new job, I guess? - Not that I hate my job, its still ok, but there are times that it seems boring, it doesnt have the same sparkle it did when I first got here. I dunno, maybe because I’ve been in this industry for two years now doing the same thing. Although, I haven’t taken any steps in finding a new job and I don’t feel the urgency to do so, YET. My job pays a lot, but it goes mostly to bills, so how else could I afford want #1 and #3 and all the others?

Lastly, and the most important one, 

5. I  WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT!! -  I say this with conviction! Its been, what? Two months since I found out that I lost 6 pounds and said that Im trying to get it back. Well, guess what, I lost two more. I don’t know why. Do you guys know of some weight gaining, whatever, I could take/do? Something that isnt illegal and safe. Or, will somebody use voodoo on me and make me fat? IM KIDDING.

Oh and also, I want to put up a bar/resto/grill, I did not study business administration for 4 years just to sit around and talk to crazy people who do not deserve to have computers and dsl connection. I want my own bar so I have a place where I can get hammered every night and host booze fests all weekend, without paying! Coz I own the place! LoLz
