CHAR LANG GUD. ü

Somehow after writing my 50th entry, I found writing my 51st  to be a great challenge…I didn’t want to create an entry that would’nt be as good as my previous entries…I felt pressured because I knew that some of my friends who are really good writers read my blog, and I wanted to deliver something that would be able to contribute something to them.

But then again, if that was going to be the case, I would’nt be writing for myself anymore. I would be writing for a public who might probably like what I wrote, but I won’t really be able to attain that personal sense of satisfaction.

Still, regardless of whom I will be writing for, myself, others…friends…a special someone…strangers…I do aim to get better at this…to be able to reveal a better me while making a better ME.

And what better time to write this 51st entry than at the beginning of the year! It’s a new year everyone, we all start off with a clean slate again…The mistakes of last year have already been forgotten and the happiness and joys are now only sweet memories. We are given another chance to live anew. To create another set of joys, another set of pains…It will never be the same each year, and like it or not, we just have to face each new year head on, with confidence that what lies ahead is a great adventure for us to discover.

Two of the greatest things I’ve learned from year 2006 is this:

1. Things always look better when you look at the bright side of any given situation, may it be the most drastic of circumstances.
2. Happiness is a choice.

These two lessons have kept my spirits high in situations where I would just normally prefer to mope in my room and shut out the world. One thing that I always try to remember is that no good will ever happen to you if you allow problems to put you down. Last year was a good year. I can say that I became a stronger and wiser person because of these two principles.

This year will be another story to tell. Well then, ces’t la vie!

My 51st entry, my introduction to a new chapter in my life.

Have a good 2007 everyone! I know I will. I just have to make it happen. =)
