We welcome 2011 after a long shower of fireworks in the sky. Celebrating new year’s in the Philippines has always been a blast. At times, it feels that  a real war was going on outside given the noise of fireworks everywhere!

As we welcome the new year, I wonder what lies ahead…

Career-wise, it sounds very exciting. Though I have no offers so far, I do wonder what sort of summer associate internship I’d end up with — hopefully, it would be with the sell-side but who can tell? 🙂

However, I do have confidence that this time in December 2011 as we welcome the new year, I would have a full-time offer (as we graduate on January 2012). Crossing my fingers it would be my dream job.

Love-life wise, Trader and I are sailing amidst choppy waters. He promises that things would work out between us so we shall see. A guy can always talk but it’s only when he really delivers that we can say if he’s serious or not. So far, so good.

Family-wise, I do hope that my 77-year old father would be less hot tempered and his health to improve. My mother’s eyes to get better. My brother to really work on his business and make it right.

For school, may we choose the right courses that would be relevant for my career and may I have really good professors. And please, no more procrastinating slackers in my group. I am already old enough.

Hopefully, I would be older and wiser.

Happy new year everyone!
