jeunesse’s Stuff!

Waking up in the first day of 2007 holds a lot of promises for myself.  I had to brace myself with sheer determination and optimism to put a good start to the first day of 2007.  I am promising  myself that 2007 will be a better year compared to 2006. My husband and I could’nt believe that 2006 was over in a wink of an eye.  I can’t help but to be sentimental as soon as midnight of January 1st striked, I gladly raised my glass and a surpassable amount of joy just started to come over me.  Tears just started to roll and I had to gather myself, and be bold enough to accept what my year has been.  (As a few of my close friends can attest), 2006 tested my capacity to endure the worst of the worse! And even myself, can’t believe where all these bad energy came from.   I sincerely believe that things happened for a reason, and that God will never give me anything I can’ t battle–and fearlessly, Im over it!

As my first week of 2007 unravelled, I started with a very important call from the  public health administrator and had offered me the job I was waiting for.  I’ve been contemplating for quite a while to climb the ladder as a nurse clinician after a few years of serving the mental health population in a in-patient setting. I also believe that I can move on past my in-patient nursing and go on to a more specialized level of nursing care.  I gladly took that offer, and  I am  definitely looking forward to starting my new role in the next few weeks.

Moreover, I am also looking forward in leaving Canada for 3 weeks for a brief stay in the Philippines.  It was in my agenda this year to return to my roots and explore what I have missed in the past 12 years of my life.  I honestly can’t wait to complete that missing part of my past.

My first few days of 2007 leaves me with a lot of promises and answered prayers.  We’ll see what the next leg is going to be..after all, there’s 358 days left in 2007 to make it all happen!

A BLESSED NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE!   

I finally got my plane ticket booked, tickets awaiting for me to pick  up! I am counting down the days ’til I get to the Philippines.  It has been almost over 12 years since I left, amazing where the time all went.  I can’t believe how long it took me to return, and venture my motherland! I’m definitely going back to my roots.  We’ll see where this trip leads me. 

At this time, I’ll be officially on vacation from this rainy weather and mundate routine in approximately 15 days! ( that gives me enough time to collect phone numbers, gather my stuff, organize my luggage, find a dog sitter, clean up my house, finish the laundry, throw away the left overs, endorse my job to the casuals, orient my replacement, type away last few emails, re-assure my community patients that I’ll be back, meet up with my accountant, write away last few cheques, communicate with my neighbors, advise the post man to put my letters on hold, and etc…and yeah not to mention,a few more days of crunches and my abs will be much better for a bikini!)  WHEW that list will only go on, unless I leave soon enough to realize that definitely I do need a break!

Metal Boar - 1911, 1971, 2051


A proud, passionate Boar with overpowering sentiments,


who values his reputation. Intense and more dominating than 

others, this type of Boar often has excessive appetites and 

could lack refinement or tact.


He exerts less control over his personal life and is very 

sociable and extroverted. Openly demonstrative with his 

affections and pure-minded, he underestimates his enemies 

and overestimates his friends. He is not likely to be 

secretive and will be direct and trusting, even credulous.

Ambitious and forceful, but not always objective, 

the Metal Boar could be a dangerous opponent, as he can be 

violent in expressing his anger or resentment.


This type of Boar will not concede defeat graciously. 

He is not a quitter and can be relied on to have 

immense powers of endurance. An active doer blessed with 

great positive strength, the staunch Metal Boar will have 

enough vigor for ten.


A year of goodwill to all. An excellent climate for business, 

and industry in general will prevail. People will be more free 

and easy on the whole and the complaisant attitude of the Boar 

will generate a feeling of abundance. But in spite of the 

favorable auspices here, like the Boar we will hesitate, 

waver and undermine our own abilities when opportunity calls.

The Boar's year is one of plenty. La dolce vita is very much 

advocated and practiced by the sensual Boar. If life is worth 

living, it mist be lived to the hilt. Such is his motto. 


The Boar is as lavish with gifts as he is with affection. 

He takes pride in being chivalrous and extravagant. It would 

be ill-advised to overspend this eyar of make sizable 

investments without thorough investigation. We may also come 

to regret impulsive acts of generosity made on the spir of the

moment.

The fortunate Boar carries with him contentment and security. 

This is one year in which you could be happy without having or 

needing a lot of success or money to make it so. There will 

not seem to be many hurdles to overcome and the placid Boar 

radiates a sense of well-being. Still, a great deal of 

prudence is recommended in money matters, as the Boar is 

always susceptible to swindlers.



This year will find us entertaining a lot more than usual 

and getting ourselves involved in all sorts of charitable 

and social functions. We find it a lot easier to make friends 

in the Boar's tolerant and expansive atmosphere. 

Watch out for excesses, though, as the Boar tends to 

overindulge himself in anything when given the opportunity. 

Weight watchers will have a tough time and may face losing 

(or rather, gaining) battles.
