Happy New Year!

I haven’t had any serious post lately. My mind was so preoccupied with post Christmas stuffs, such as thinking of how can I maximize my vacation, loads of pending notes to review, the delayed yet soon to come Exchange gift with my cousins, more notes to review, cleaning my room here in Cavite and more notes!=)

The hell with me! 3 more days to go and its 2008. I need to change few things from my routine or maybe change my whole routine. As a reflection of my 2007, I can’t actually say that it was full of mishaps for me. 2007 is not really my year but I still recognize all the things that happened as a blessing for enlightening me and making me grow as a person. This year was an eye-opener to me that I still lack something and must hone responsibility. For the past year I thought I was mature enough, living by myself and making decisions for myself. But this year’s events made me comprehend that I lack the capability of moving on instantly and cares so much to someone’s criticism that it sank me deeper to my misery. It didn’t help...

But first, I have to thank God for giving me and my family a healthy year. I have to thank Him as well for giving me new friends here in the blogging world.=]

Also this year, exactly last April, my sister went to NY to work and it’s not very easy for us that she’s far and I know she feels the same. I know we’re kind of overreacting to this but I haven’t said this, but I really care so much to my one and only ate. Before, I confronted his first-and-still boyfriend that “subukan mo lang lokohin ate ko, wag k ng magbalak tumapak ng Cavite”. It’s the first Christmas that we’re incomplete. First year those birthdays were celebrated and she’s not here. I have to say that I’m really proud of her for being so strong and being a toughie in facing her future.

Maybe I didn’t do great things this year but I realize that most of my family members were successful and happy with their lives. To my mom and dad enjoying their retirement; My eldest brother having his engagement, a great soon-to-be ate and a new car; To my 2nd eldest brother on promotion and has a really happy healthy and a slimmer look; My Lola Ching’s 90th bday which is celebrated last 25th and to my cousin’s news that she’s having her first baby. I can say all the ugly things that came to pass were erased by all this good things that happened to my love ones.

As for me, I have to make specific changes like saving money and not spending a lot, not being so much self-absorbed, and I have to lessen my swearing. In general I have to continue and deepen my studying. As I always pray and ask God to give me a clear mind and enough concentration.

As for my friends, I’m praying that we all have a prosperous New Year. I'm celebrating with you all! Cheers=)
