My 25th year was all about working my ass off, providing for Abao the cat, loving and fighting Hilda, handling problematic relationships and transient dates. Quite eventful ha? Ye... which year wasn't ...?
Recruited as a "project manager" but I wasn't very clear about my positioning over the past year, doing a bit of this and that all the while, until a few days ago when my boss called me in for the first time and said she wanted me wholly devoted in PRODUCTION. Big challenge it is, but AL-RIGHTY!
Abao's becoming funnier every day and I seriously don't know what my life will be without him. God I do love him. I was even kissing my mobile screen-saver (Abao's pic of coz) while I was in Venice, several times a day! This is really hard to imagine, esp considering the fact that I used to think picture-kissing people were perverts, --- now I am in the loop, and I'm worse, because what's on the picture isn't even a human, but, a cat.
What between Hilda and me is a long and complicated story which takes 3 days to tell. It was ...well, intense. The Hilda&Vienne bond we built was a paradise, though not eternity. Every joke, every fantacy, every blink of the eye or flip of the finger stroke the same cord in our hearts. We did many ridiculous things TOGETHER, an experience that no single word can describe (probably fun, surport, crazy, pain, pathetic, proud, happy, hilarious, cynical, sweet, silly and dreamy..., all put together). Though the era is ended by now, in good terms by the way, the 2006-2007 hilda&vienne period will never never ... you know. (Can someone pass me the tissue?!)
Eh alright, let's see, men. I wasn't impressively happy nor irredeemably heartbroken for this year. And turning from a girl to a woman was neither entirely exciting nor entirely loss-felt. I went out on dates with a bunch of guys but didn't try further (sorry, my faute). Said a couple of nos which I hope weren't hurtful. Particularly, I terminated an ambiguous relationship with someone I've known and liked for 3 years saying "I've got enough let's not see each other any more." Painful, but I didn't have any better choice. Compared to my past record I might be able to pass for an actioner this year, though action doesn't necessarily lead to positive results, or whatever results at all.
Travelling was good though a lot less than what I'm used to, -- just the Baikal trek in one year. I guess with regular income, more experience and broader vision, I will be able to finally see the world. I'm not meant for a boring life. So hit the road vienne.
Thanks to everybody who wished me happy birthday, no matter verbally or not, with presents or without. Family and friends mean a world to me and this world's been putting up with such an obviously eccentric nut for 25 years. wow~
