Happy New Year!!!

It's time for a new beginning. Wow, I made it to 2009! I am still alive...yahooh! I am happy knowing I can continue to see the world and all my loved ones. Now if only I can fulfill some of my ultimate goals. We all wish to accomplish something each year. However, some people are just not as fortunate as others. There are so many of us who are unable to make things happen due to unexpected shortcomings. While others are able to get what their hearts desire and more, because hey, it pays to have a helping hand by your side-if you're lucky enough. If you don't have someone you can rely upon for help. You'll find out that saving money is very important. Your money becomes your best friend. No one is going to help you but you. I am learning that a great deal. You have to be self-sufficient; otherwise you'll go nowhere and have nothing at all. No family or friends can come to your rescue in times of need-if you are having it rough too often. I've gone through it and it taught me to be more independent. I am somewhat proud as my pride holds me back with asking even a family member for help. Oh, I tell yah...I learned my lesson well. And thank goodness for credit cards! I'll slowly but surely reach my goals, even if one at a time lang. It'll just take time and money, of course, which is why I have got to save money!
Realizing how important saving money is. I am going to have to refrain from over-buying. I mean I have to cut down on my shopping. The unexpected expenses can really be a drag. I have taken on great responsibilities back home and I have to be responsible. I need to take care of business before any pleasure. I can no longer put myself ahead of others. According to what I heard, "beyond all the sacrifices you make hides a sweet reward." We will see about that. By the way, excuse muah for sounding like I am at it again, because like I've said..."I can get melodramatic." But you know what? We can never predict what life dishes out. So there are times that when things are not going our way, we tend to express our feelings a bit more than we intended to. We're only human, after all-that is what I always hear. There is nothing wrong with sharing some of our downs. Maybe some people only likes to rub it in, este share the ups about their lives pala. Too much of a good thing is no good, not with those who may think you are having it easy like Sunday morning kinda life. As I have learned, some people are just so quick to judge others by hearing a little bit here and there. Well, it's not always like what you see or hear, peeps! I'm just reminding yah. That is why never go by hearsay. Never assume naman, so you don't get burned. You can mention the slightest things about yourself and your life, and wow, they can just picture how miserable you are already. And as if it is any of their concern what goes on in your life, what you do or say, etc. Grabeh!!!
