( SG-1 almost-end-of-season 8 SPOILERS )

I had a FANTASTIC Christmas! Had supper on the 24th with my mother and sister, without any fights, and then on the 25th I had lunch with mom, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend, two aunts, my uncle, and two cousins. We had all sorts of delicious food - my boyfriend actually asked my mother if she had made a buffet for someone who then had it cancelled, because she cooks divinely and there was so much food - and all sorts of family jokes and old stories. It was fun and everything that Christmas should be. :)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas - and thanks to everyone who wished the same to me and my family!

I feel confident about New Year's Eve as well - actually, about the entire next year! ;)

ETA: Just watched the last couple of episodes from season 8!

( Spoilers for Moebius! )

Now I'm divided between watching season 9, SGA season 2 or sleeping.

Hum....I guess I should go to bed. :P

OH, one last thing, I remembered what I was going to mention before - Rya'c is BORING, can he be gone already???

I watched SG-1 season 7 up to episode 14 - most of it during the past couple of saturdays with dtissagirl and jujubinha, and I have to say two three four things:

1) I missed Daniel SO MUCH on season 6!
2) Poor Jonas...loved by a Goa'uld? Hey, that sounds like a corny romance novel!
3) Sam, COME ON! Grace is your daughter with JACK and she wanted to tell you that you two have GOT TO BE TOGETHER!!! Very cute and emotional episode, though I didn't cry. I like Sam.
4) I LOVE JANET! I do have a tendency to like characters that are doctors, but hers is special. AND he told that alien who was possessing Daniel's body that she would have him back, so, GO JANET! XD

The last couple of weekends were half fun, half tiring - saturdays were fun because were spent at dtissagirl's house watching SG-1 and FARSCAPE but sundays weren't because I spent them working - especially yesterday because it made me miss priwskywalker's birthday party - again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Priw!

Christmas is next week. AND I haven't bought any gift for anyone. GAH! ¬¬"

And the week after Christmas is New Year's Eve. So, that's a nice prompt to evaluate this past year - especially since I don't know when I will be able to come to the internet, let alone post at LJ, again!

This was a rough year.

I had some great things happening to me, like finally getting to be on the medical residence I really wanted all along, but I also had nasty things happening in my life. People I knew died and/or got very sick, among them my future-to-be father-in-law, who FINALLY seems to be fairing better, but still has much on his plate to deal with, like hemodialisis.

I once again was reminded that I'm a fool who thinks everyone is good and fair but life isn't fair, let alone good, and people can pretend to be your friends just to get whatever it is that they want and then ditch you. But at least that served - I hope - to help me learn from my mistakes.

However, even with all that was bad, it was a good year. I realized I need to focus on who and what give me something back in return - like work, since I need the money to buy my oh-so-dreamed apartment. My family and boyfriend are also in my list of priorities, because I love them to pieces - yes, even when my mother nitpicks about one thing or another - and they are the only ones who will forever be by my side when and if I need them.

I just know, more fiercely than ever before, that I love who I am, that I love my family and my boyfriend rjann, that I love the career I chose, and that I NEVER wanted nor I will ever want to be someone else.

I love my life.

Yes, it needs some improvements here and there, but nothing is ever perfect - unless you live in a fairy tale. And if anyone tells you differently, it's a lie.

Here, a toast to a better 2008 than 2007 was! Enjoy Christmas, concentrate on what it truly means, and prepare to a blasting 2008!
