Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

well since christmas is over and the new year approaches in about 2 days..it must be time to reflect on the past year..what has been accomplished..what's in store for the new year..yada yada..

hmm let's see in 2003:

- i've officially been a part of the so-called "real-world"
- i still live at home..ha!
- i was able to visit my family in the philippines which has given me a new understanding of what appreciation & humbleness mean
- i still keep in touch and keep friendships with the irvine folk
- i've learned that my body functions so much better with 8 full hours of sleep=P
- my tolerance for alcohol has dropped, but i do like them rasberry kamikaze's
- i am always surrounded by family and i know they are a blessing and should never ever be taken for granted!
- i've learned that we should take better care of our health
- i'm slowly understanding the way my parents' minds work..and how much i wish we could have understood each other better before
- i've begun my trek towards fitness with my gym membership=)
- i purchased my very own car..yay!
- i've come to really love those saturday at home movie/anime nights
- i said iloveyou to boogerlou=P *wow corny i know=P*
- orlando bloom became my second boyfriend..hehe
- i learned that work is just work..never let work or the people at work get to you!
- i became honking happy! ha thanx cecile!
- after going to so many sushi joints, koji's still has the bomb crunchy roll
- me & louie boy became boarding junkies..or are at least in the process=P
- i became one year older! ahhhhh

yah i'm sure there's so much more to write but oh well..so what's in store for the new year?? hopefully a lot!..full of travels, food, family & friends...and i'm thankful for all the blessings i've been given so far..i guess that's all for now..ok just wishing everyone an early Happy New Year!..y'all be safe..and i'll be seeing you in 2004 baby! woohoo!
