Happy 2006

Christmas has gone and passed, and soon it will be 2006; so let me get this out the way first:

Happy New Year!
Buon Anno! [Italian]
Feliz Ano Nuevo! [Spanish]
Sun Nin Fai Lok! [Cantonese]
Saehae Bohmanhi Baduseyo! [Korean]
Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu! [Japanese]

It's been quite uneventful the past few days other than me and my dad passing out momentarily; him yesterday and me today. It was quite the scare of my life when I saw my dad like that, proving to myself that I am quite useless in an emergency despite knowing what I should do. My mind was wiped blank with worry as I watched my dad's body shook briefly while going down. Freaking out and being an idiot, I shook my dad trying to wake him up. After what felt like a long time [when in reality it was only a few minutes], he woke up, went to his side, and threw up. As if I didn't worry enough before...I worried even more then. A while after, he insisted he would be fine as long as he had some rest even though I asked him to see his doctor [which he said no to].

This morning, I went down to see him, and his color was better but I was still worried on the inside. As I started up the stairs, I saw spots of black stars blinking in and out of existence in front of me and the last thing I wanted to do was pass out on the stairs again [very dangerous]. So I stopped, closed my eyes, took even breaths, and counted down from 10; I opened my eyes and felt better only to see the stars once more as I made my way to the top of the stairs. I half crawled to the nearest chair to center my...everything but it only worked briefly. Somewhere in the hallway between the kitchen and the living room, my vision wavered and the black stars attacked; good thing it was only for so brief a moment that no one noticed [people worry when they see others down on the floor passed out; ie: me]. I'm thinking, I must've fallen wrong, maybe I landed on my knee or in an odd and uncomfortable position; from the right knee down, there is a numb yet stinging [but tolerable] pain everytime I move it. Thank goodness for chairs with wheels; I've wheeled myself everywhere in the house except for downstairs and outside of course. A bit slow and unpleasant way to get around though.

Good thing I didn't have another bruise or anything bleeding to add onto my body. The ones from my boots [a month ago] and the ones from the transit strike [2 weeks ago] still haven't gone away yet. I'm a slow healer especially around the winter time.

One of the old ladies that my mom looks after gave her knitting needles recently, and I've been using them to practice. So far...I've made a cozy little pouch for my ipod and I'm starting on a [how boring] scarf. There's not much you can do with 2 needles and the knowledge of a basic stitch.

Life has proven to be quite uneventful or ordinary this year or these past few months. Everything was so routine... Here's to a hopefully noteworthy 2006. *imitates drinking*

PS: I've made no resolutions since I have trouble keeping them every single year.
PPS: I need to do something with my life.
PPPS: My head hurts.
