bury me in this dress

My webhost screwed up big time last December 29. The server where my blog was hosted crashed and they were only able to revert my entries up to last Dec. 19. I only had backup up to Dec. 21 so all my entries after that date got lost. They are gone gone gone. I won’t dwell on it anymore but I hope that doesn’t happen again.

I wasn’t able to blog a standard “Merry Xmas Happy New Year” post so belated MERRY XMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2007 was good to me, at least the latter part of the year. I was able to reconnect with old friends as well as gain new ones. I won’t assume that 2008 would be as good or even better for me so let’s just see how it goes.

I started the year with flu but it’s alright since I think what caused it mostly is my gimmicks almost every night. I spent New Year’s eve with my family at Shang Makati (like last year) but it was boring. I met a really interesting person though. He’s my uncle’s friend and he’s super rich. He’s also gay I think. He talked a lot and his stories fascinated me. The good thing about him is that even though he’s filthy rich, he doesn’t really brag about it. Well, at least not during my encounter with him. Anyway, I expect that things would go back to “normal” again and I wouldn’t be able to party like I did during the holidays.

BTW, the photo in this entry was taken by me. It’s so purrty.

Last Thursday night I treated my staff to a catered party. It was simple. Just food, some booze, and the ever present videoke. I had high expectations because of the things that happened during the surprise party but it wasn’t my day. First, there was the stupid coup d’etat earlier during the day. Next, the awful traffic to and from my appointment with the shrink. Then before the party started, GMA declared a curfew. That didn’t matter though because I didn’t feel like partying much when Bishie brought his girlfriend to the party. That’s right. His girlfriend :( I’m unusually positive about that fact though. I think that’s the best thing for me since he’s our OJT after all and the fact that we have a 9 year age gap. Don’t get me wrong though. I am still attracted to him but at least now I know that hooking him in is next to impossible.

I was expecting my birthday yesterday to end crappy but it was totally the opposite. My staff threw me a surprise party at the office complete with embarrassing photo montage. I was really surprised and mom was so convincing. I went down to the 15th floor office and just blurted out “Bakit madilim dito?” but it never occurred to me that they were cooking up something the whole day. The thing that made it 100 times better is the fact that Bishie (you remember him?) was there and by the end of the night he dedicated songs to me, got my cellphone and email addy, had our photos taken, held both my hands at some point, and had me singing an awful duet with him (there was videoke). Well, booze was flowing and although I was perfectly sober, I doubt any of those counted since he was tipsy. Still, I was thrilled cos he’s so darn cute. I guess I can declare yesterday as one of my best birthdays. I’ll be celebrating again on Thursday night and I hope it’s just as thrilling :P
