Hello 2009!

Last night when the world said goodbye to a old new year and hello to a new one, I said hello to my past.

"Happy New Year P., (insert profession here)," texted him.

I told R. about this and promptly she protested.

"Sumpa mo na siya for 2009", R. said.

I conceded. I know, I said. But that's what I'm feeling.

What's the point of bottling up the feelings anyway? Of not letting the other person know how you feel? Of being eaten up by your thoughts?

"Sana lagi ka masaya. 'Yun lang naman ang gusto kong mangyari nung tayo pa dati. Yung alagaan ka. Hehe. Ingat."

I loved him. Love him still. But it's a different kind now.

I just thought I'd let him know.

With the past resolved, I can face the new phase with a brighter hope. I can almost feel the wind against my cheeks.

Happy New Year everyone! Love and happiness to all of us!
