Good bye, 2010. Thank you for such a wonderful year! I may have cried and got sad in a while but I am still happy. You`re the most awesome year I have yet. I am so excited for this year is about to end and I`m curious on what 2011 has in store for me. I am so thankful for everything that has happened to me this year for it made me the better person I am today. I am looking forward to 2011. I am looking forward to the best things life has to offer, and if not the best, just something worth while and something I can stand to. More blessings, good health, and a prosperous year for me, my family, friends, and all my loved ones. A new year is about to come in less than 20 minutes. A new year. A new life. A better new me. Thank you and goodbye, 2010. Let`s call it a year. Hello and welcome, 2011! :-)

Simple But Simply The Best

A close friend sent me a letter this Christmas online. He texted me about past 12 midnight greeting me a Merry Christmas, that he had read my letter for him and he is truly touched, and that he`ll be giving me a letter the next day. It was in the morning that I get to read his text because I did not check my phone that night.

My family did not spend Christmas at home, and I haven`t gone online the whole day until 9 pm. Honestly, the thought of reading the letter has slipped my mind. My cousins and I drink and I think the alcohol has gotten into me. But no, I am not drunk. I was just feeling sleepy and it feels like my world is spinning round. But I am not drunk. Oh, please. I went online as soon as we got home and I saw a message coming from him. It was then I remembered about the letter and I am so excited to read it. It`s not a long letter but it surely touches my heart. I read it in less than two minutes but it made me cry. I don`t know if it`s still connected with the alcohol or it`s just me being emotional. His words are so sincere that it got me crying.

There are no words I can use enough to express my happiness. I am so overjoyed for it is the first time someone told me those words. Those are the words I am longing to hear for a long time now. I never thought he would appreciate the things I`m doing that way. That feeling, that feeling might be the real Christmas feeling.

Seriously, his letter is the best Christmas gift I received this year. I feel so special and appreciated. He actually understands why I`m doing such things when we`re together. My other friends would say I am a camwhore, this and that is so embarrassing, let`s not do this, what the hell, and stuff. I am just so thankful that at least, among my friends, there is someone who understands me.

I am not hungry for attention or anything, but I`m lying if I would say I don`t need anyone`s appreciation. It was a very good gift to receive, knowing someone is happy with the things you do. I guess this is really me, I am the sentimentalist and the affectionate kind. I get happy with words and how people feel about me, I care about the good memories we had and what we`re about to have, I care about the simplest things in life as long as its from the heart. I can never seem to forget a moment in my life may it be good or bad. I guess this is how I really am and I am glad there is someone who see the goodness in it.

He is really one of my good and trusted friends. He never fails to make me happy. Seriously, the very moment I am reading his letter is one of the happiest moments in my entire existence. I am so happy that I want to receive another letter from him next time. :-) I actually want to receive letters from all of my friends, it is just that, it`s not their thing, and sorry but sometimes I feel like they just don`t care. But anyways, I am still happy.

The photo above is a screenshot of a part of his letter, my most favourite part. It was that part that made me cried the hardest. You just know how to get me. Thank you very much, Marlo Gabiola.

It`s Christmas And There`s A Lot Of Reasons To Be Happy About

"Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind. To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." ~Calvin Coolidge, 1927

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. People giving gifts and exchanging cards as they say. Christmas is full of love better than a Valentines Day. Christmas is for the children. Christmas is about sharing and loving.

Love is what Christmas is really is. The gifts, cards, money, and all other presents are just bonuses. Never be sad about how little you receive and rather be happy on how much you have given. The presence and concern of the people closest to your heart is what really matters most. Christmas is not about the material things, Christmas is about the baby who was born in the manger, Jesus Christ who saves us all. Christmas is about others. Christmas is about our families.

One or two may forget to care, but do not be sad and understand them instead. Never put hatred in your heart, we may not know what they are going through. Christmas is not about counting who remembers and who do not. Christmas is about the joy of selfless loving.
