to always move forward.....

_____________________________

I thought of not writing anything
about 2008 until it is really over.
How can I claim any accomplishment
if a sudden misfortune could
ruin everything, like what happened
to my camera on the 24th.


But there are really a lot of reasons to be happy about 2008.

1. travels. My 1st in BORA, Capones and SINGAPORE to name a few.
2. my blog--which I started on JULY 11
a rich source of insights and info.
you share your opinion and you grow with
other bloggers. lavit.

3. zero credit
4. I was able to save Php **,****
I downgraded it from the original
target but I am still happy with the figure.
The reason was my break-up with my gf
So I realized that women
are really expensive, keke

5. paid the downpayment for a house in
St. Monique Valais--Binangonan.
so that's it--I hope we can
already move there April this year.

6. Started my coca-cola in can collection ( just got some from Mal, Sin and S. Korea.)
7. Helped my brother find a decent job.
8. a new digital camera, which needs 5k to repair. The LCD was cracked. Still working though.
9. my 1st passport----I'm such a late bloomer!!!
10. finally paid for my laptop which was bought partly on loan.

I am really looking forward to this new year with a lot of optimism. It's going to be a tough year so I have to brace for the challenges ahead. Then again, all the the things I mentioned above are small achievements. My greatest achievement last year was regaining the love and trust of my fiancee. We are turning 8 years this January 28. With her as my partner in life, rest assured that I will be facing 2009 in a new light..........

as Walter Elias Disney beautifully put's it- “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

---and so it is, there will always be setbacks but I chose to keep moving forward.....
