Last Quarter Bang!

Technically speaking, we are still in the Year of the Wooden Rooster. Astrologers have reminded us that the said year won't be as good as the previous years. I'm not exactly into Astrology but sometimes, I can't help but believe in it. Of course, I don't let it rule my life but I let it just guide me in some aspects in my life.

As what have been told, the Year of the Wooden Rooster wouldn't be kind to those who were born in the Year of the Snake. Somehow, as I get to review the past year, I have to admit that it wasn't easy for me. I was definitely in a roller coaster of emotions: happy, sad, confused, angry, jealous. Not to mention that I got sick with dengue fever and my ashtma worsened.

However, in general, I could say that the year was not good to most people. The most heart breaking event that happened this year was when my best friends lost their fathers.

As if the events weren't enough, the rooster continued to crow as if bidding its farewell to the year! Mas lalo pa niyang idiniin ang kanyang pagtuka! In just a week, I have received a lot of not so good news from my closest friends:

Elma - her Grave's disease condition seemed to have worsened.
Than-than - is getting confused with his sexuality.
Katleah - seemed to be having bouts of depression due to boredom at home.
A close friend (who wanted to keep the events that happened secret between us) - seemed to be falling out of love with her husband and falling in love with another man.

And the worst as of late,

Biboy's father's affair with another woman that is breaking their family apart...

I don't know what 2006 had instore for us but if those mentioned above were indications as to what may come, then I'd be very afraid...
