Sunsets and Sunrises, A Farewell to 2006

 Listening to:  

  Only One by BIG MOUNTAIN

It feels only yesterday when I was typing a new entry on my friendster blog about welcoming year 2006. A year has almost passed and here I am again posting some words about the year that was and the year that will be.

2006 has been a fortunate year for me. I think I’ve gained a lot and I’ve given a lot as well…

I made a lot of new friends who turned out to be great individuals. Each of them continues to inspire me in their own unique ways… helping me  become a better person by conquering the demons in my head and making the most of what I’ve got. 

I am also thankful for the material wealth that has poured into our lives, helping me  aide my family financially, even just a bit, and making me appreciate my life more especially when I feel so lost and confused.

To Papa, who has continued to support us and love us… my deepest appreciation. We love you so much and I can only wish that I can give you what you’d need and want when that time comes. 

Most especially, I thank Peter for loving me unconditionally  (yes, he does). You just don’t know how bitchy and difficult I can be. Yet, he’s still here for me, loving me more and more each passing day. I don’t know how he does it, but I thank God everyday for making him the best person that he is. I can only hope he also feels how much I love him too even if sometimes I don’t show it…

And to my family, I know they love me and I love them too. They can be difficult,yes. But I guess that’s part of THE PLAN — God’s plan, challenging me to be a better daughter, a better person. So fo that, I thank them.

Last but not the least, I thank God, for the opportunities he gave me — opportunities to see the world in his eyes, even just a small part of it. The travels we made all these years will always be in my heart. Every new person we met, every beach we conquered, every sea we swam in, every mountain we climbed, every sunset and sunrise we saw… they will always remain a blessing to me, for they make me conquer myself, my fears, my sorrows and tribulations.

And now that another year is coming which I feel will be a bit more difficult and stressful, I hope that those memories of new places will be enough for me to stay strong for the things I needed to do this coming new year. I wish for these difficult things to not happen. I will really try to prevent them from materializing. But if in case God has another plan for me, then so be it.

I dedicate this entry to the sunsets and sunrises of the past two years we’ve been traveling. I hope to see more of you. I really do… 

Happy New Year!
