mid-year assessment

So. After a few days' hiatus, I am back. And it's already June. Time sure flies, doesn't it?

And what have I got to say for the nearly half year that has already passed?

Let's see. Let's enumerate rather:

• I got a job. In fact I'm already halfway through my contract. And hoping to get renewed.
  
• I live all by my lonesome away from home. Okay, so I do have roommates, but I still am technically alone given that I never knew any of them until I met them.
• I have not one but two part-time jobs. Although I can hardly find the time to make both work. I'm focusing on just one in the meantime.
• I've met and kept in touch with both high school and college friends.
• I've learned to appreciate my family and friends more.
  
• I'm still in an LDR with Franco. Who would have thought I had the patience or the endurance for such a thing?

Not bad. Though I still am not satisfied with all those. I still want a lot more. Like:

• Success in my full-time and part-time jobs.
• Franco. Here. Now. *lol* Okay, so maybe now is not possible. But at least he'll be coming back next year.
• Enough money to subsidize my parents. It's about time I gave back something for what I've put them through. They deserve ever-lasting happiness just for that, believe me.
• A D-SLR. Preferably a Canon EOS 40D or 450D or a Nikon D80. In time for my birthday too. Gifts would be much appreciated. ^_^
• More friends, contacts and connections. Turning into a social animal, aren't we?
• A healthier body. This I really have to work out for since I'm the anti-thesis of good health as is it right now.
• A normal body clock. Being nocturnal has its perks, but I want to be "normal" again even for just a short time. Though I definitely do NOT like direct sunlight.

I know I'm wishing for a lot. But so what? Libre lang mangarap, as Jay Contreras of Kamikazee sings. Besides, these are not just pipe dreams. I do have every intention of fulfilling each and ever one of them. God help me.
