Goobye 2011.. hopeful 2012

I would like to thank God for the year that has gone by. For all the blessings He has given me, my family and friends.

Compared to the previous years, my 2011 has been peaceful except for some minor difficulties. I thank the Lord for the good health and the job, without these two, I would not be able to see Mickey mouse in Disneyland, nor discover Macau or enjoyed the beach in Bantayan island and the all the things I afford and enjoyed.

I am thankful for the old and new friends I have met whom inspired me to strive and do good things to others. Thank you to my colleagues/buddies who have been good companions (for more than a year) whenever i'm at war with my hormones, or wanted to have a good laugh over a cup of coffee at starbucks silver city or just chill at mcdonalds frontera verde (when on tipid mode) or want to have some drinks at tiendesitas or metrowalk.

Although, I am a year older (but wiser) and member of 30 something single girls (not to mention gorgeous, chos!) and that some of my hair turned gray and I freaked out every time I look in the mirror and saw some strands standing proud like a crown, I am grateful. I may not be lucky to find true love this year, I am grateful for the love and appreciation that my family and friends showed me, a love that does not subject to “I love you because.. “ but “ I love you for who you are”. I will be forever thankful for giving me my family.

I ask forgiveness for the wrong things I have done. For the people I may have hurt intentionally or unknowingly and for the things I should have done but let it pass. Likewise I forgive people who have hurt me. I am not perfect and I don’t have special talent, but I hope I have inspired people in my own little way.

I pray to God to teach me to be humble, more understanding, forgiving, appreciative, sensitive, religious, generous and helpful and more mature, let me overcome my long time enemy, procrastination. Above all I ask God to help me let go of the love I could not have so that I can see clearly the love that will come my way.

Guide me Lord as I take the first step towards fulfilling the biggest decision I had made in my life so far, if it is according to your will, if not lead me to where you want me to be. I am scared and excited at the same time, so please guide and grant me your gift of discernment.

I lift up to Lord my family, friends and all the people especially my fellow Filipinos who are in dire need of your grace and mercy. Lastly, I lift up all my heart desire.

For everything Lord, my heart is thankful and grateful.

Kudos to all of us who have survived another year!

I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
