From 31st of December Till Now

2nd January 2011

My cell phone took a walk to never come back again. Actually, the last I saw the gadget was when I placed it on the car to ease my feet into my shoes. I guess, me being the oblivious mind-straying self, drove off from the porch without the slightest of idea that it was there. By the way, Hdaran is pretty well-known among the family members to be forgetful and careless; something that Hdaran has come to accept of himself. Especially when his thoughts are torn apart with priorities after priorities shouting for attention!

3rd January 2011

Terrible food poisoning coupled with gastric pains and diarrhea. The whole day was a total waste with tonnes of due lab work to settle and journals to sort out; none of it being tend to.

The year started with a bang and is progressing to be tough. Nevertheless, it is very much promising.

Talking about 2011 and the New Year, I have to have an account of my New Year celebration. My best of friends were gathered under one roof, with the exception of the few geographically separated. Cookies and Cakes (and boyfriend), Metro Me, GJ Kind Boy, Sincere Inadequacy, Sportsy Donna, a few close friends; Candy Skirt, Femme Close-To Fatale, and a few newfound acquaintances, one worth mentioning would be Profanities Aloud. It was the usual sloshing, hugging, pleasantries exchanging, dancing and laughing. Nothing groundbreaking. No buts.

However, (of course there was some reason to be blabbing away about my New Year's Eve party) Cookies and Cakes sloshed and sloshed he did. Puked, wasted and helpless, for the third time (twice last year; and the first this year) I drove him drunk, in the passenger seat, back home. I pitied Metro Me who was looking forward to a decent night out; more frivolity and less spontaneity. Tried sneaking off every now and then to rest my anxiety that he might snap, not being amused by how the night turned out to be. The hungry metro man was also spotted yawning and frowning having outgrown loud music and wild dancing. Truth be told, I myself wanted to be flashing my style, my well made-up face, a new tote and a new wallet finished with intriguing conversations. Owh well, one did not want to be a party-pooper that night AND it does help that one enjoys dancing.

I remember being in the presence of two sleeping men, me looking over them in 2009 (get your mind out of the gutter!!!) and driving home my two best friends took me back to that starry night sky. I have missed people needing me; I have missed looking over someone close to me. That longing was curbed for the people most deserving of my care and concern are the people whom are willing to part just that much to me.
