This Year is Gonna Be Incredible

Wala lang, just my attempt at having a line from a song as my blogpost title.


Plot twists have been popping up both in fiction and in real life, so really there's a lot going on, just been too lazy or busy to update.


But, since I am the way I am, the initial emotional flavor of these important events doesn't really linger as long as they do with other people, so I guess I won't be writing as colorfully about them as I otherwise would have been had I written about them immediately. Anyway...


Here they are, updates, in no particular order:

1. Very important story developments in the manga series I've been following, ever since my sister introduced me to it: Inuyasha. Kikyou has died, a second time, and Inuyasha seems to have lost the will to fight (temporarily). Losing your first love, a second time, does that. Poor boy. Things will get better though. Because this is a children's comic, and what I like most about stories written for children is this: there's always redemption in the end. I believe in redemption.

... Also, Sesshomaru (Inuyasha's superhot, metrosexual, full-blooded youkai half-brother) just met up with his mother (she's still around?) and seems to be upgrading is sword. He just slipped into Hell in the last chapter, in pursuit of a dog who took his ward. Sooo looking forward to what will happen next.

All in all... really significant turn of events, and 400+ chapters into the series Rumiko proves she really does have many, many more stories to tell.


Yes, important story developments in fictional stories I follow count as updates to my life :-)

2. It just really hit me recently, that the report I was working on in CEM, was connected to this. Pretty interesting stuff. If only I had more time to do it. We just wrapped up last Friday though. The people we talk to are really nice though. Not like clients in the other job.


3. Got promoted and got a raise. Yey! The first in all my 6 years of working. Because when you're self-employed there are no raises unless you're making more money. I guess I wasn't at the time. I feel a bit more grown up now. Just a bit more. Until I think about my lack of savings, which makes me feel like a newbie to the working world. Haay, depressing.


4. Got a haircut.


5. And well, since I find good news in other people's lives updates to mine as well, I would like to take the opportunity now to congratulate people with good news in their lives: Joa, who will be getting married next year, and Hazel who has been grabbed by a cable channel to host a medical probe-team type show. Very cool girls! Let's take over the world!
