[NOTE: This is a repost from my multiply blog/lj. I could've made this post earlier if only I knew about the database problem. grrr...]

In 2008…
… all the things I worked hard for finally came into fruition. Thesis. Heavy acad load. URC. Graduation. Board Exam. Indeed, I am truly blessed.
… I got a job despite the impending global recession.
… my uncle passed away a few days before Christmas.
… my brother married the love of his life.

I realized that…
… sheer luck is nothing without hard work, and vice versa.
… prayers will see you through anything.
… I should move on and make some closure of my own.
… I must work with double the effort in less time.
… new friends come at the weirdest times and old friends are always there whenever you need anything (even the occasional gossip).
… we’re in a big place but live in a small world.

I am grateful for…
… family.
… friends — whether old or new.
… all my victories and defeats.
… the gifts I have received — even the ones that came from me.
… food — one of the best mood uplifters ever.
… the three little cute piggies — one hug and all is well again.
… the Dearest.

I am still praying for…
… world peace.
… prosperity, good health and long life.
… more learning experiences and the ability to retain all of them.
… more blessings — for me and all my loved ones.
… happiness and peace of mind.

I resolve to…
… do whatever it takes to improve myself. (well, that has been my resolution ever since ever).

Happy New Year, everyone! =)
