because we all have to start somewhere…

Now that didn’t look as good as Y2K. Seemed too forced for my taste.
Nevertheless, I’m quite optimistic with the year ahead. 2009 was bittersweet (if not boring) and I couldn’t wait to see what’s in store for me this new year. Then again, even if monotony would still be included in my daily routine, I just hope more sweet memories will be associated with 2010.
Happy New Year everyone!
And as always, here is the token End-Of-Year meme.

Well, it SHOULD be the most wonderful time of the year.
But somehow, Christmas feels different than before. I guess the joy and excitement of Christmas wears off as you grow older. That, and a handful of thoughts lingering in my head for some time now. Christmas and harsh reality will take a very long time to mix. It may end up like oil and water no matter how hard I try.
I did manage to complete the Simbang Gabi. A feat worth saying since I could not remember the last time I completed the nine days novena. The idea of being granted a wish after it all gives me a sense of hope.
I am very much grateful for family, friends and my special guy. My wish will always be for their good health, safety and success. Because that is what Christmas is for me. Being around the people I love and seeing their success and happiness despite the cruelty beyond the warm walls of home.

We may only cross paths a few times, but you will always be remembered with a smile.
Rest in peace, Miss Tara Santelices. May you finally have rest in the arms of our Lord.
