I don't know about you but i started this year good but in the night of the new year i managed to get upset multiple times and even now i am still troubled about it. First of all my girlfriend annoyed my as she left the room and went to bed without helping me with anything for cleaning the table, i had to do it all alone which was quite depressing (my parents went to some of their friends at 1:00 a.m. We eventually went to sleep at 3:30 a.m. Then my father came barging at 6:30 a.m. and asked me for almost all my foreign money ( i recently bought 250 euros and was really excited as they represented a big part of our summer holiday spending money, and i was happy as i had them all in small bills and clean ones) - because he had returned from the party with my money and a taxi driver hit his back of the car, but he had drank alcohol so he settled with that guy by giving him about 235 euros in order to avoid police punishments for drinking and driving. He said he would give it back but still, i am rather pissed about it. Well that's about it, and only 14 hours have passed in the new year for me. I hope to see better events than this. How about yourself, only merry events or also bad stuff happened to you ? For what is worth: Happy New Year !

Everyone has something to remember at the turn of the new year. I am sorry to hear that you had a bad start to your new year. But don't be saddened as every misfortune will be blessed with something good. Just keep your fingers crossed as it is only the beginning and you have a long journey to travel in this new year.

Wow, not a good start to the new year! First, tell your girl how you feel, don't let it build up and maybe she'll be more considerate. I hope your dad pays you back! I was going to my dad's today but he called me last night to tell me that his wife, my stepmother, was in the hospital because of her heart. It was just for observation but still it is very upsetting. I hope she'll be able to go home today! I'm going to take a postive attitude today so I can start the new year in the best way possible.

Maybe you should have at least tried to look into it in a positive sense... Your girlfriend not helping you, then think that maybe she's not feeling so good that night. About your father, I think you should be happy about it and be thankful that you have the money then because if not your father would have been spending his new year morning in jail. Think of it as you've helped people during the start of the year and that alone would really be something to be happy about

Hello...Me too, i started the year good, with the most important person in my life: my daughter. My daughter has one year old, and it was the first Christmas, first New Year, the first contact with the tree,with fireworks,and i was the happiest mother on this earth. Last Year, New Year, she was still in my belly and 2 months after, he was born...So, the transition betwen years, was the most happy time for me !!!

It's not really that "exciting". No celebration for last year was ever exciting, including Christmas and the New Year. The good thing though is that I enjoyed Christmas very much. But the New Year is just like any other day of the year here in the house. Sure, there was a lot of food than usual but, its not something to tell about. I was slightly frustrated in the afternoon of December 31st. It was a friend's nephews birthday and I was invited. I was just planning to drop by and talk to some people that I had business with. But the person made me wait because she has to go out and she still had to take a shower. She took a good 45 minutes to take that shower and get dressed. I was quite pressed for time because I still had to go home and cook for our New Year's Eve dinner. I ended up not accomplishing that business thing and I felt like I wasted my time. The night was okay, but the delivery we ordered was 5 hours late. At least they made it before the New Year. January 1st was just an ordinary day. I was able to sleep until noon cause my part time job was over.^_^ So I have a few days of "vacation" before classes start on Monday.

So sorry for your new year like that but i want to tell you that we had almost the dame mood this new year's eve? I started to feel bad the night before eve because i feel i was sick, feeling that I can't going to church for our choir. So it happened. Then another thing was I didn't meet my expectation from one of my old friend that give's me heartache before to reconcile this new year but he can't. So it feels me more pain inside with more info that i suddenly discover from him thru yahoo id. He remove me too to his friends list in yahoo and change his id. So when i wrote him greetings as wishes it returned as sating he is not using that id which we openly use before. Oh, so hurt in my part but I need to stand firmed. Then what i did is to remove to his name which is useless in my lists. Try to forget every thing to him and started to begin a new life without expecting him to come again into my life. Accept the reality that 2010 is new to me and to all of us. Thanks to your discussion and have a happy new year to you!

I honestly have to say, I did not enjoy it because the person I made amends to did not put up with on her end. I felt so betrayed and so every time I see her I just drown myself to pity for her. I am trying my best to forget about the past and move on with my life since they aren't important to me. Even if little things put you down there is always tomorrow to get up and have a smile on your face. Cheer up and better days will come! Happy new year elitess!

Hi elitess, Happy New Year! It was just 14 hours as you were mentioned. There are still more than 364 days of the year for you to have good times. We all know that live is tough. However, it is lucky that it is tough, so that we know why we should cherish the happy time, we know why we feel happy and like laughing or crying when the good things come. Cheer up! Live is a lesson. It won't be ended when we still here. It is a lesson for us to feel. Wishing you every success in 2010 and good health! agonyaunt69 (10:08am 2 Jan 2010, Hong Kong time)

I admit that it's not fair star of year, rather I can say it's not fail at all. But take it in other way, What would you have done if your Girl would ill or pregnant or not able to help you in cleaning? You would have done it, right? So Now make her understand that how do you feel of that behavior. And to convenience first you have to ask her and understand the reason why did she have done that to you. She also would have bad mood that night!!!! For other things like 250 Euros and etc, Money should not come as an obstacle in some relation. Forget about the money your dad is far most worth full than money. Try to wash out the sorrow and try to feel nice to your near and dear ones, that will feel you also nice. Have wonderful year ahead!!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
