Year 2008 in the Chinese calendar is year of the Rabbit. I really thought this would be my lucky year. I usually read horoscope but I don’t take it seriously. But early this year, a friend of mine was reading her horoscope and she also read mine, and I could still recall, she said this year would bring me no luck. Of course I didn’t believe that, I mean in everything that you do or decision that you make, it really would depend on how you would make the most out of it. But I really could say that this year has been tough for me. There were really lots of things that happened to me and my family (physically, emotionally and spiritually). It was really something that I wished was all just dreams, but I have to face reality. Right now I don’t take things for granted, and as much as possible I want to be positive in my outlook in life, it also get me closer to God, and I know its not right to question Him why certain things happen. I do think problems and trials make you closer to God. And with the turn of events that has happened to me, I know I’m still blessed.

Tomorrow, I’m probably heading back to my hometown. I can’t wait to go home because I’ve missed my family, friends and even my bedroom. I can’t wait to celebrate Christmas, which is just six days away from now. I missed my mom’s cooking and the foods we have at home. I can’t wait to visit our farm again, and probably watch television all night long, going out with my friends, visit my aunties and uncles, and be together with my cousins.

I don’t know what year 2009 would bring me. Just hoping for the best…. =)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!!!
