" A New Year. New Start. New Me. ; 11:08 PM "

I can't take it people, its neaaaring. 2007 is coming. And it's scaring the hell out of me.


Well, exactly a year ago I wrote a post. So here goes, my "reflections" for 2006.

On Act3.

Act3, what can I say? Teen theatre was just awesome, I felt so much love from everyone and the co-operation and passion from every single person was over-whelming. I can definitely say that the teen theatre experience has changed me. Alot. Based on being excepted by people and excepting them. The Blood Wedding was something I'll never forget. Despite all the concerns, the doubts, the headaches, the rehearsals, the nerves. It was something special. And always will remain something really close to my heart. (:

The friends I made at Act3, they're people I owe so much to. To the girrrls in Act3.Taahira, thank you for sharing so much about your life with me and letting me know that not everyone goes through things that they don't expect to go through. You've helped me get over the biggest milestone ever in my life, and for that, thank you so much. Natasha&Christina, thank you for being there. And for making the Act3 experience THAT much better. Reshmi&Samira, you're people who just make the whole joy-ride jampacked filled with loadsa love. And Rashmi, you're just an amazing actress and I believe the entire casts' mentor. (: Thank you sooo much for being a great friend and great mentor.

To the guys, it'd be weird to make individual calls here, but anyway, THANK YOU ALL. (: short and sweet. I really mean it though, thanks to all of ya.

School this year was unexpectedly a different taste. Secondary school has beeeeen distinctively and weirdly a rollercoaster ride. No one expects what they expect. If you know what I mean. But still, it's instilled something different in me. So yeah, good for school. And yay to me.

Okay. I'm in the midst of this post, and my mom making a skype call all the way to Muscat. All the new year reviews come in of what everyone did in their year. It's weird. Why does 2006 seem like a year I just never really lived?

It's this vulnerable stage. Trust me. (=

And as for the phenomenon, everybody's nestled. I'm the last. So it'll take 10 more years for that to happen. But who's complaining? Definitely not me. I can wait. I'm not that eager to flap my wings and then jump down, fall fall fall, get up, smile, laugh, smooth my hair and then say, "MAN. What just happened?"

So..next year, it's greek theatre, class 2-2, alanis morissette, ginger ale, fareast outings, more smiling, friends, one tree hill season 3, new movies, laughs, cries, guitar, soul, curiosity, blink 182, doubts, fate, footsteps, songs, lyrics, the eight steps of everything, 2007 and me.

I don't believe that anything is just there. For you to pick up, flip through and get it over and done with. I guess there's always the challenges. The paper cuts, the folding, the tearing. But at the end of the day, Shaw said it, that...


"...there are two tragedies in life. one is to gain your hearts desire. and one is to lose it. so if gaining my hearts desire means gaining tragedy, then GIVE me tragedy. because i wouldn't give tragedy back for the world."

and yeah, he read my mind. (:


So let's just sit here with our recollections. Because it's always this time, we look back and we smile. I'm accepting 2007 into this bloodstream now.


Bye '06. It was nice knowing you.
