NEW YEAR 1/1/2009

Today is the first day of the calendar year 2009. This year is the year I look 'forward' to all the things I want to achieve, unlike last year which was a year I look 'backward' to many personal events in life, most of them bitter.

I feel as if I've given a second chance to live life. Vivo la vida luca! It took me a while to comprehend how my life would change drastically, time I spent daydreaming, nightmaring, experimenting, testing the water ahead, dipping my toes into the cold lake to see how far or how long can I endure the process of painfully letting go, accepting and reinventing my whole life.

My perspective on certain things has changed a little. I'm still glad and blessed that I still hold tight on my positive principles and philosophy. And when I realise (as if awaken by a huge knock on my head) that nothing can rob me of the person who I am and who I want to be, that nobody can topple the person that I was meant to be, I felt a powerful surge flooding my whole body, soul and mind, which was numb before.

Nowadays, I wake up with only one thought:

God, thank you for the perfect health that You have always giveth me. I am truly grateful for that. Thank you for the strength you've showered me when I was fell so low into the ground. Thank you for the endurance, patience and perseverance as I journey through the ocean of heartache and hopelessly despair tides. I pray to you every day for being with me as I sail incessantly in this ocean, never knowing whether I'll reach another land or not. Because I believe that by your company, I will always be the proud owner of this sailboat.
Let's begin this journey together! VIVERE...
