Cluttered
======
Behind every great idea,
every significant achievement,
every important accomplishment
is a full wastebasket.
Or a cluttered blackboard.
Or a doodled-up legal pad.
Is scribbling all it takes?
Are you just a cramped writing hand away
from changing the world?
Probably not.
But no one ever led a revolution or any kind
with his hands in his pockets.
Think About It.

Welcome 2008!
Hmm, 2007, this is your final day in my life. I can't tell if you've been kind enough to me for you to deserve a blog entry of appreciation. Yes, you've burdened me with problems while claiming they were all opportunities in diguise. They came, saw me, and conquered the rest of the pieces 2006 and the other 19 previous years have left. But hey, look at me, I survived... and couldn't be happier for that. Despite of numerous failures, the 365 days gift you gave me, my prize for not resorting to suicide -- yet -- helped me attain these sweet, little (in a great way!) achievements.
Got my college diploma, a job I never thought I could have (but only lasted for less than five months), and a ticket to fly to the land of milk and honey. Met a lot of great, talented, and cool people, who helped polish my attitude and skills. Fell in love with a great person. Fulfilled my promise of making life sweeter for my not so fortunate relatives in Makati using my own resources. Went out with brilliant people who I look up to, and likewise, look up to me. Had intelligent and heartfelt conversations with people whose ideas and principles matter.
Ok, 2007, that year wasn't as bad as I thought it was. So here you go, a long and sincere thhaaaaannnnkkkksssss for all the wonderful memories we shared!! Goodbye and I hope you made a lot of people happy during your reign. Hi 2008, want a longer and more sincere thanks by your December 31st? Be good to me! Fruitful love life, please? Hehe! Welcome!
