Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008

2007 is about to end in a couple of hours. As early as now I’m turning nostalgic already, and to think the year has not even ended yet. I’m really going to miss the year that was. It has been one helluva ride. It was a fairly smooth one with a couple of bumps along the way. I’m glad I still managed to get to the end with a good head on my shoulders. The highlight of my year would have to be Paris, Italy, and Tokyo. Europe was such a surreal experience, one that I will never ever forget. I’m definitely going back to Paris whether my budget likes it or not. Hehe This year was also the year I met different kinds of people, some unique colorful personalities whom I never thought I would actually get along with. I’m blessed to have met such really nice cool people whom eventually and unexpectedly became an important part of my life. While a lot of new people came into my life, I also lost dear ones. 2007 will never be complete without my grandma Amma Adams and cousin Jerric. They will always and forever be in my heart. May my niece Ma-an, aunt Lucy, and uncle Peter rest in peace as well.

This year is one of the most memorable one yet. It was indeed a year full of surprises and laughter, as well as heartaches and pain. There were also a few regrets, but I think I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I've stumbled, learned, and grown a lot. I feel like a bigger person now, thanks to 2007. I’m definitely looking forward to the coming year. I’ve got my hopes all high, my goals way up in the sky, and my happy heart on my sleeves. I'm going to travel light this coming year. No more excess baggage this time around. Cheers to 2007! Here's to a fresh brand new start. 2008, here I come!
