It’s New Year, let’s accept it and face it!

I love and want to blog the last day of the year 2008 but organization of thoughts was not present at that time so I decided to make my post on the 1st day of the year of the Ox.

I haven’t had my last post for 2008 but I will give you this time my insights for my past year that will serve as my shall we say memorable ending and initial force for 2009, the year of the Ox.

2008 for me was full of memories. There were successes and failures but the bottomline, I had used and converted these events as my inspirations and motivations. As for my profession, I have posted my insights to it (My Insights for 3/4 Academic Year). I have posted as well my wishes for Christmas and partial hopes and aspirations for New Year (My Christmas Wishes to all!). 2008 was memorable for me as a whole.

I am very sure, many individuals are blogging about significant and unsignificant happening in their lives, so I will not reiterate those events for you not to be bored. Most topics are from personal and other personalities. They blogged their self-experiences, activities/socializations and etc. You know what I mean, it’s all for yourself. Admit it!

I will make this post not for myself but for the niche I am living in and to the people who managed to be part of my life for the past year. This is my opportunity and venue to acknowledge and send my gratitude to them. Who knows, this could be your last day on Earth, kinda serious and unusual but it’s true and practical.

For the niche I am living in, my prayer for

1. the Reigning World Peace all throughout the globe

2. the Presence of Justices, happiness, joys in all corners of the world

3. the Sufficient Food supply and alleviate hunger in all parts of the world especially to our brothers and sisters in Africa. My heart is aching every time I see them on TV and news. I could not give any material things or financial support but my wholeheartedly PRAYER is for them.

4. Global Economic Crisis to be managed well if not fully recovered. It should be for the benefits of all not just for a few.

5. my country Philippines to be healed from pains of corruptions, manipulations, and many downs. I love my country and am proud that I am a Filipino by blood and culture and let’s help one another to build the country as it deserved to be.

6. for people who have illnesses or sicknesses be healed and ease from pain of sufferings

7. for the mother Earth be restored and respected by all

For the people who played significantly and unsignificantly, my prayer for your well being.

My entry is quite serious but these are all true and from my heart.

There is no difference for 2008 and 2009. The only difference is on how to work out the year. As for me, I will be more involve to other people not just consuming myself and myself. I love to be person for others. From the famous scripture verse and lyrics, “There is no greater love than to lay down his life for a friend.”

May the year 2009 gives us more blessings and God bless us all. Let’s be happy and treat life as simple as it is with FAITH to God, HOPE for a Change and unconditional LOVE for all. Let’s start the new year with right convictions, right attitude, positive outlook in life, and useful actions for others not just for ourselves.

Let’s be thankful always to the people who played and are still playing significant or unsignificant roles in your life before IT’S TOO LATE.

Happy New Year everyone!
