New Leaf

2008 is ending. In a few hours we will be saying hello to a brand spanking new one.

I have been truly blessed this year, as I was the past years. With that I am eternally grateful to the Lord. I have let go of certain things (and people) this year, though the void left was filled with new things (and people) that are making my life more colourful and interesting (to say the least).

To those who entered my life this year, I am truly grateful that you did :) Stay there, please. To those that remained through all the ups and downs, I am also eternally grateful. You will be blessed a million-fold (pramis!). Those who I have not seen for a looooong time, let's catch up in 2009 :) We owe each other lots of kwento.

I have also learned who my friends are, and who aren't this year. Trials sure has its way of filtering the dirt, and purifying the soul. I may have failed in some, triumphed in some, but in the end I got through everything because of Him Who is Forever there with me. I am not worthy, but hey, He loves that much (and more). All I can do is accept it :)

So to all my real friends, I thank you, I truly do. I may not be good in showing it, but rest assured you are all in my prayers.

To those who have a different opinion about me, I ask for forgiveness if I have hurt you. I did not mean to do any of it. I also pray for enlightenment, that you see me for who I am and not draw conclusions from mere superficial facts. You're also in my prayers :)

Second chances. Everyone needs one. I sure do. And I can't wait to start my life on a new leaf for 2009.

Here's to more blessings, adventures, parties, good times and fun!

Happy New Year everyone! :D

A pleasant morning surprise

This morning a huge bouquet of flowers (orchids) was delivered to our office, with a card signed anonnymously. It also made a reference to a past blog entry of mine (which meant he has read/reads my blog).

This is the first someone gaveme flowers. I'll admit, it feels nice (kilig, even) to receive flowers (despite girls saying that they didn't want to) and I would like to thank him, whoever my mysterious flower-giver is, for it .

I have been up to my neck with work the past couple of weeks, and I am this close in becoming an image model for Stresstabs (the BEFORE model). This little surprise sure is a welcome break from all the stressors here in the office.

What can I say? The Lord sure knows how to make a girl smile

Wow ang... gulo ng work station ko

Who could this be from?

Haha, I took the RIGHT course in college!

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below).

When Your Spouse is Hotter than You

I stumbled upon this TIME Magazine article talking about, of all things, "inter-facial" marriage, or when one's spouse is "hotter" than the other.

Herself a 'victim' of such a union, the author listed down a couple of "challenges that scummy-yummy couples must deal with to survive."

Funny!
