I'm sitting here at work in Akron, Ohio on what is probably my n-teenth trip out here and I got to thinking that this year has been an interesting one. Who would have thought that a Filipino boy from the slums of San Jose would be finding himself in Akron of all places? I looked back at a blog I had on December 30th of last year that I posted while sitting in a Tampa, Florida airport. In it I had written that I was slowly assimilating into the working world and lo and behold, here I am, seemingly assimilated. It's crazy to think what has become of this year.
I also wrote myself two new year's resolutions. One was to lose weight you fat ass. That one didn't work too well. But the other, to make 2006 a kick-ass year, is open to interpretation. And that brings me to this blog. I haven't blogged as much as in my hey-day but for my own, and my future self's, stake, I write before you my 2006 Year in Review. To tell you the truth, it's probably not going to be very interesting so if you don't read it, you won't have missed much. But I plan to touch upon the following topics over the next couple of days and hopefully I'll be able to judge whether or not I accomplished what I set out to do at the beginning of the year.
- Work
- Travel
- Friends
- Family
- Life
- Future
I don't know that they'll all be separated by topic. Some of those may only be one or two comments long and may also spill into other topics. But I thought it was a good starting point for review. So there you have it. If you have any suggestions, feel free. Here we go...
