Just one more day, and we will be welcoming the year 2004, the Year of the Monkey. The monkey is known to be wise, so I hope this will be a year where I will be wiser in my decisions especially the ones involving both personal and career. Last year, I would say was a good year for me... I worked, worked, and worked, but my bank account is still empty and I really can't explain why.. so i hope this year I would be more careful with my finances and I promise not to get carried away by my younger brother's bratty ways anymore.. promise!!!!!!!!!!

I wish to work more on the spiritual side, I feel that I am nothing unless I am able to please God and thank Him for all the blessings and the protection He provides every late-night that I go home when I have to work on my part-time job. No one is safe unless God and His angels are there walking beside you. I hope that my family can live with me here so I don't have to worry about them every second of my life anymore. Whoever wins the Presidential elections next year, I hope he can do something about the economy so people won't have to go to another country for a better life anymore.

And I hope for happiness and joy for all my friends --- Joy, Shala, Richelle, Kaye, Ellen, Cherry, Maricel, Gina and family, and the Edsamail boys, of course!

I might be celebrating the New Year's Eve at work or at the subway because I don't know yet until what time I will be working but I am still happy because I am still alive, I am able to provide for my family, I have friends, and I have a special person with me.
