en route; 
so i spent my last day of the new year thinking about how bad the year has gone.
the unexpected revelations made, the disappointments faced, &even spent approximately the first half an hour to 45 minutes getting angry at the floor manager at harry's at holland village.
(because it was to my utmost disappointment to realize that Harry's does not care about their customers: they care more about their VIPs, who are taking 2 tables out of their approximately 10 over tables, and would rather try to chase their customers away despite their customers having drinks in front of them and items of their chairs and tables, all because, i quote, "we have inhouse guests, you know". i'm sorry, i do not know, neither do i care about your inhouse guests. that is YOUR business. not mine. yes, given your situation, i would do my best in ensuring my VIPs get the quality service they deserve, but NOT at the expense of my other customers. it is ridiculous that you would deprive your customers of seats while they have just begun with their drinks, and it is ridiculous that you are giving them a time limit on their seats, because it is NOT the customer's business whether or not you have reserved sufficient seats for your VIPs before hand. if you have failed to do so BEFORE the arrival of your guests, then it is YOUR JOB to fix the problem without affecting your other customers.)
on a lighter note,
the rest of the night at walas went great, &nobody got pissed drunk or pissed in the first place, and i spent my countdown surrounded by the people i love from all parts of my life. and while i spent the last day thinking how horrible the year has been, i woke up remembering to myself how good everything has been. because i realized that despite all the crap i've taken this year, be it ranging from the shittiest moments ever, the saddest times, the disappointments and what not, i still have friends who love me &support me, who listen to me when i'm down or angry, &are there for me when i need them (:
so let's toast to 2011:
may this year, despite having the possibility of disappointments, failures &shitty moments, be filled with more love &support from the greatest friends one could ever receive <3
