Hoping for a drama-free leap year! (Pages 1 to 7 of 366)

Happy New Year!
Sorry for not being able to make everyone happy. Indeed, you can't please everybody. 
*Thank you for the presence of my second family here in Australia. They always make it a point that I feel homey. Thank you too for the company of my younger generation new found friends. They make me feel like I'm a teenager again.
I miss the noise and smog of the Philippines though during this time. I miss my family most.

The day after New Year's is when it will all sink in. The unending realizations from the past year including the weight gain. Plus the eye bags you have today because of staying up until 6am. Even the amount of alcohol you had last night will count as a regret. But without all those "regrets" I am not who I am today. January 2 also seems to be the deadline to finalize those resolutions for 2012. I am armed because of You (So, *Thank You!). I am ready! Keep it coming  Lord! :)

*Thank you for the freebies. A good friend is cheaper than therapy!  Kit, Joma, and Ate Thet.

Surprise surprise! I don't know how to take the news. I did not expect this. Or did I? *I am so grateful knowing that You will never leave my side.
I don't have to explain anything to anyone. I'll just smile and walk away like a boss. Cause I want to and I can! :)

In between page 4 and 5 of 366.

And in the end you're still my friend. At least we did intend for us to work. 
We didn't break. We didn't burn. We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in. 
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not, and who I am.
*Thank you for being able to express myself through this song. It's a me time now.

*Thank you for allowing me to be nice rather than to be naughty. I am pushed but I won't submit to this temptation. I am challenged. But it feels so good to win.

*Thank you for today it officially ended. Life is beautiful. So, why hate? Seriously. :)
*Thank you too for giving me more patience and understanding today. Just when I needed it most.
Our attitudes define life.
If people start criticizing or hurting you, don't be bothered.
In any game, spectators make noise not players. So play on.  (from Katrina Tadeo. Thank you!)
Learn the art of patience. Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal. Impatience breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement and failure. Patience creates confidence, decisiveness, and a rational outlook, which eventually leads to success.

It is just the first week of this year. I haven't been this challenged ever.


There is always something to be thankful for. I am grateful everyday.

P.S. Today is a gift that is why it's called present.
