A chapter closes

Another year is coming to a close. The year 2007 taught me that hardships build character… that friendships can sometimes be found in the unlikeliest places… that while growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional… that the most important things in life are usually the little things that we tend to overlook… that sometimes, what we’re looking for is right before our eyes… that God has a perfect time, place, person, and reason for everything… and that even the deepest pain can be healed by the truest love… While the road never was and never will be easy, I believe that with much faith, we would always be able to make it through. It was a wonderful year, and with a smile, I close this chapter as I look forward to a new beginning that I'm sure is going to be much more interesting than the previous one.

Merry Christmas

The melody of carols are drifting in the background as multi-colored lights blink in joyous rhythm on my windowpane. It's a wonderful sight to see, but more than that, it's the image of families together, praying and exchanging gifts, that never fail to tug at my heartstrings. Christmas brings hearts closer more than any other occasion ever could. And I guess that's only fitting. Because it was during Christmas that our Lord ans Saviour came to the world to be among us, and ultimately, to save us. I wish everyone much happiness. And as always, let's not forget the true reason behind the season.

Ninth

Today, James and I are celebrating our ninth month as a couple. I always say that falling in love happens by chance, but staying in love happens by choice. James and I were best friends who never anticipated that we would fall in love. But by some twist of fate, we did. A million words would never be enough to say how much James means to me, and a million tomorrows would never suffice to let him feel how much I love him. I truly am blessed to have someone like him in my life.

Holiday Rush

I've been to the mall this weekend and I was surprised at the number of shoppers rushing around. And then it came to me... it's December already. It's surely evident from the crisp night air and the general feeling of goodwill that's seemingly wrapping everyone up. It's nice to think that after eleven months of preoccupation, people get this time of the year to step back and think of others for a change. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
