Welcoming February

It's the First Friday of the First Day of February. There are a lot of freaking F's in that sentence. It makes me want to "FUKE" hehe. Sighing aside, it's official. January 2008 is over. It's done with. Lived with. It's out of the book, 11 months to go.

Boy it was fast. What happened to you last January? Worse...What happened to me?! Well, I can't say there were fireworks. But I will say that it's a month with a feel of gearing into possible brilliant trajectories that might happen this 2008. but first...Kill me with the fireworks if you'd please and do it now!! January is supposed to be a happy, fun and bright month!

But February is crucial to follow through the promises and start of January. That's why if you hate your January so much, well good luck to you, you still have a long 11 months to go. And you're not staring a good impression on the world. February is a quasi-month celebration, to follow. IN fact this month has 2 worldwide celebrations, 1 national commemoration (which translates to a work holiday) and 2 family birthday celebrations (Nanay and Papa on the 29th).

Oh gosh, a week after the entrance of Chinese New Year, comes Valentine's...the ever commercialized Valentine's day. For these two celebrations, expect people to find justification to party, dine out, have tikoy for breakfast, lunch and dinner, observe mall and hotel promos and most importantly suffer from heavy traffic...traffic...traffic.

February is more of like a post celebration shindig after the holidays. It has a vibrant feminine character to its own. It cements the masculine January and March together as it breathes excitement and positivism in the 1st quarter of the year. February is the shortest most complicated year in terms of dates in the calendar. February is more of associated to the sign of Aquarius and marks the beginning of Pisces for March. February means purification....hmmm...well...I don't know how much purification goes into this month, most probably de-purification har har.

Well for all the glorious days February has to offer, I say we should start enjoying and live the promises we made to oursevelves at the start of the year who knows, when you wake up it's already March and 1st quarter 2008 is about to end.
