* The ancestor of every action is a thought.

Song of 2007: Lesson Learned; Alicia Keys & John Mayer

This year was filled with so many exciting adventures and discoveries.

I must say it's been a while since I've had such a good year. Honestly it started off extremely rocky and ended up just perfectly. After how 2006 ended, I took a semester off and went to Vietnam for some quality family time and to get away from all the hectic drama back home. The 5 weeks I spend in Vietnam did me so much good. I came back to Toronto with the new perspective in life and made me realize the importance of being true to myself. For a really long time, I was selfless but I figured out that if I wanted to be truly happy I needed to be a bit more selfish. I had to demand and find my own happiness instead of chasing it.

This year, I really grew up and started to take responsibilities for my own actions. I was always afraid of being alone but I realized that, being alone will make you so much stronger in the process. There's no point filling your life with nonsense because all you really need is a little bit of love and a whole lot of faith and you'll just be OK. This year, I have to admit I wasn't really there for my family and friends but I know that they all understood. I needed time to find myself again. Figure out who I really was and what I really wanted.

This year was a year of so many unexpected turns and twists. I never thought I would find someone that makes me happy everyday. I really never thought that I'll find that person that stands beside me through my problems and just tell me everything is going to be OK. Someone that would offer me the world, someone that could just sit beside me while I cried. Someone that would fulfill my childhood dreams and would help me rediscover me. Thanks

2008, I am ready.

Words of Wisdom
"I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me."

-Robert Browning Hamilton
