Happy New Year !!!

"For I know the plans I have for you, says

the Lord; plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give you a future
and a hope."
- Jer.29:11

HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!!! :) btw, above was my most favorite verse ever. You know, when I was younger, (and even up to now i guess) i feel quite sad after New Year's Eve because it's like saying goodbye to a magical world and going back to reality. Kasi, when it's Christmastime, everything is beautiful! The people are kind, kids are smiling, problems seem easier to bear, etc. basta, love is in the air--it's like magic! (Sigh!) I really wish everyday is Christmas... But now, somehow, i'm glad that i'm learning to be optimistic and see the bright side of things. I've realized that 1) life is not really all good times (and bad either), everything has its end 2) that i should be brave enough to face what lies ahead of me trusting that Someone up there is always in control and ; 3) new year is something to look forward to coz it brings new life, new hope, new beginnings... (hehe! i have no fireworks pics, 'forgot to charge my batteries coz all in my mind that time was S-L-E-E-P! kaya flower na lng! :)
