Banging and Rocking 2K8

New Year comes with new hope, new dreams, new trial, new friends and new experiences...

I was never an optimist. I am more of a realist that an optimist. At times I can be very very skeptical. But not this year. I just came of a week off back to the Philippines. I was recharged, refreshed and rejuvenated. I was a bit down here in Shanghai. I just realized it when I came back. I was off my game in all things. I took a well deserved breather.

2007 was a year of mixed emotions. Promotion, demotion, redemption and more options. I was given a secret. A secret that I can say turned my life for the better. A secret that saved me from a lot of despair. I became acquainted with the Law of Attraction. Works like a charm. People might think otherwise but for me it creates wonders.

This year I welcomed the new year in another country. With new found friends and a familiar drink. We welcomed this year with cheers. I talked to a lot of people I loved and liked at the same time. I had a few more people in mind but I was not able reach them all, yet I was still happy... Very happy actually. Not the New Year Celebration people will envision. But it is something for the books. Although the fireworks did not match my expectations, I made my own fireworks in my heart. It is bigger than any fireworks man can ever make.

2007 gave me knowledge, wisdom, experiences that made me who I am today. I do not regret anything that happened. The mistakes, the downfall, the heartbreaks, the pitfalls; for it made me better, faster, smarter and stronger. I am not the person that I am today without them.

Bring on 2008, this is my year. I am a rat! Equipped with new knowledge, new language, new wisdom and new outlook... Bring it on!!! Happy New Year to all! May all of your desires turn into reality! :)
