2007. Happy new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To the whole wide world. I was personally dreading this year as it happens to be a year of decisions for me. But now that it is here, i welcome it with the grace of a ballerina ;-) and a will of iron (yeah?), a mind like the free breeze (as free i hope), and a vision as clear as saint gobain glass (ha!) :D I wish....I wish... Its going to be some task, making things fall into place. But i hear challenges enrich the soul, make people grow, feed the mind... and i think i have to get ready to see if all that is indeed true!

Wow, some blabberation that para was. Anyway, i didn't do a 'looking back on 2006' post... when i think of 2006, the first thing that comes to my mind is.... obviously....the football worldcup. The Italian Glory. I don't think i ever cried watching any match before, but that match... n even the semi finals match where italy won...some feeling i'd never experienced before. And i'll never forget how it felt like to be screaming sitting on the floor of a dark room, only inches away from the television. I do think of alot of other things also, but this is what i'd like to mention, because it meant so much to me! I dont even know how... but it meant so much. Another big discovery made in 2006 - Nothing sticks to your braces worse than popcorn. Dont ever try to speak, or laugh, or smile if you've just had popcorn. For the love of your own maanam!
Craziest moment of 2006 - Footsie's naming. Some carnival that was!
Jumpiest moment - Maybe right before the new year dawned. The music realy got to me!
Most awe evoking moment - At kenya, in January, at the arc.
My Hero of 2006 - Big Surprise!! Johnny Depp :D
My Mr.awww of 2006 - Bill Pullman ;-)

Ok this is getting way too *rolling eyes* types with all my heroes and crap! Anyway, I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year. May the best of everything come to you in 2007, and always.

2007, here i come. Fight me all you can ;-)

LOL! The first para was def. super blabberation. "challenges enrich the soul, make people grow, feed the mind." lol philo. start to the new year eh?the finals..i remember me n lav were hugging each other when france got a penalty and zidane took it and it was a goal!!!i remember i even called u up at that time..saddistic pleasure ;):D
nothing sticks to ur braces worse than popcorn?i thought chewing gum was the worst..anyway i don't want to wear braces again just to know how hard it would be to remove popcorn from ur braces. and what's the arc?
No resolutions for me..can't keep up with them so why bother making them?i don't want to get disappointed!!
And happy new year everyone!!

Div said...

suk - That was philo eh? lol. And i rmbr your call... but who won finally? *grin* Chewing gum doesn stick to your braces... not in the gaps betn the wires n the teeth atleast! The arc is this place i visited in kenya... i was there last year during new years. You could read abt it in the jan2006 posts. I'm sure i ranted quite a bit :D

Happy New Year, to Divs, and everyone else reading this! :-)

I'm not making any resolutions. I made a few last year, and we (well, atleast a few ppl) all know how THAT turned out..!! ;-)

Yes, I'm looking forward to HP 7 too. Also, POTC 3.
But why is everyone forgetting Spiderman 3 ??
And Shrek 3 ?? Have you seen the trailer? You should, it's hilarious.
And Oceans Thirteen, also.

Ah, enough for now.

:-)

Div said...

nik - long time! Ofcourse, spiderman 3, n ocean's 13 and shrek 3! God, lots of 3's this year! And abt the resolutions ;-) lets just quit making them!
