Masaganang Bagong Taon mga Kaibigan!
I wrote a while back saying that once my apartment is clean, I will be ready to take on my new city with gusto and bravado. I have, and I am. Over the last new year holiday, I stayed at my flat, cleaned my kitchen, my cupboard and my floors. My flat is all gleaming and fresh smelling now, and is already looking more like a home. I celebrated by going out on my first ever New Year's Party (yes, yes, with the alcohol, and the beef, and the revelry, and the fireworks too). I met a Thai Darth Vader (posed for a photo too), and saw how much His Majesty the King is revered by the Thai people. I spent the night with new friends in a new environment, and I was just amazed at how efficient public transportation is in the city (sky train open until 2 am, oh I love commuting!). I cleaned, did the laundry, and completely unpacked during the first three days of the year, and on the fourth of January I was ready for work. It was a good way to start the year.
Today, everybody noted how happy I looked. Your eyes shine now, they say. Good sign, I say. Looks like I've settled in.
Happy new year indeed.
I'm so glad you're fully unpacked. You're in for a great year, Jana! :-) Comment ca va?
