The Time is Near, Change is on the Horizon

Saturday, December 30, 2006

For the past couple of days I thought about putting something, a new entry, here but I never really got around to doing it, mainly because I didn't think I had anything to say. But, as the whole blogosphere erupts in a mass orgy of "Last Post of the Old Year" I felt that I should join in too.

Let me digress a little. It's weird how people only do the things they should be doing all year round during certain periods of time. For example, every new year most of us will make new year's resolutions that will, hopefully, make us a better person - etc. But shouldn't we do this all the time? I mean, why wait for the new year to make us a better person when it would be very beneficial for us as a community/species to constantly renew ourselves. I guess most of us are lazy. I mean, it's understandable. We're so busy doing everything else, who has time to think about what we should fix, right?

Speaking of which, I've been working like crazy. I think the hospital is finally getting to me. I'm at the point in which I've worked there long enough to have a feel for each of my coworkers, their personalities and their flaws. And some of them I definitely do not like. And it's always a sort of trade off. I mean, I feel confident in what I do now, but I also have my preferences in working with certain people. Certain people get the job done while others don't. Which makes me, my comparison, a hard working individual. I guess.

So, the last two weeks, working around 70 hours (67.5 if I take out the lunches), I am glad to say that I am off until next year. Which is the most popular phrase at the hospital. "I'll see you next year! LOL!". One of my coworkers came up with a really good comeback - "Haha, here, take a grenade."

I got, for myself, a digital camera. It was a really hard decision because I have brand loyalty to Sony products but at the same time I know that there are other cameras out there who are better for the same price. But in the end, I don't know whether its the fact that other people also have brand loyalty to Sony or not but the customer reviews pointed me to another Sony camera - but the price was nice at $150. Earlier, I had gotten a $200 camera but it looked too nice and I was afraid of what my parents would think so I got the step down. So, the Cybershot S500 or whatever I got is decent. It uses batteries but its 6MP and 3x optical zoom with a large LCD and smooth movie mode. I'm satisfied. The picture quality could be a little better but whatever, I didn't pay that much on it.

This might be the very last post of the old year, I will do some new year's resolutions. Please, don't shoot me. Just love me.

5. Save money.
4. Write more. Especially on my future novel. About ninjas and the like.
3. Read more. I've been reading the Bible and its pretty interesting. Mostly boring, especially when they go through the genealogies of peoples. But I want to branch out. I don't know if I'm ready to tackle War and Peace that is sitting on my end table.
2. Study more. Self-explanatory.
1. Think about what I say and do - more. My mouth has gotten me into a lot of trouble this year. And so have my actions. Simply, I should be less dumb.

Go ahead, tell me what I should change. I bet you have lots.
