			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before the holiday cheers die down, let me greet you a belated merry Christmas and wish you a happy new year!</p>
<p>Our move went well, our sofabed (and all our other stuff) were sold to good friends and new friends (thanks!) and we&#8217;re now living in our new home. It&#8217;s all goooood. Now, on to more pressing matters&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-76"></span><br />
2009 was a rollercoaster ride for me and my family. A combination of good and bad things. In 2010, I claim that all will be great. I realized that it doesn&#8217;t matter if life&#8217;s good or bad, as long as you are with family, it will always be good. Love conquers all. Love casts out all fears. Love is what makes the world go round :)</p>
<p>And because I love (I love my husband, my son, my parents, in-laws, friends, all of you!) I want to make 2010 a year of blessings. Not for me, but for you! I want to bless you and you and you. I don&#8217;t know how exactly, I just know I will :D</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s bring it on people! 2010 is a year of breakthroughs for me, and for you. Exciting? Yes! Game.</p>

<p>Today I’m feeling a bit low so I tried to shake it off by watching an uplifting, life changing, serious movie which gives me a deeper realization of what life has to offer and what road am I exactly traversing… I’m a bit distracted, that’s for sure. I have so many things going on in my mind, so many things to do but having little time to do them. I know we all have 24 hours in a day, but sometimes I wish I have more. But since I’m distracted, I don’t know if having more hours will actually result in me doing more. I guess I have to follow this wisdom:</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>The mind is like water. When it is agitated it becomes difficult to see but if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.</p></blockquote>
<p>I keep on regretting what I could have done yesterday that it overflows to today. My to do list is so scattered. But I guess I should just move forward and start appreciating the now. After all…</p>
<blockquote><p>Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.</p></blockquote>
<p>Contemplating on the actions I need to take to achieve my goals, I remember the old feeling of starting out in your career, where you don’t know where you’ll end up with. I can say that me being where I am right now is just an accident, a lucky chance, but… </p>
<blockquote><p>There are no accidents.</p></blockquote>
<p>… I believe I am where I should be because God wants me here. Even if I do try to run away because I do sometimes, when I am overwhelmed, I know that whatever I do, I’ll end up good. No turning back or wishing for a new road to travel.</p>
<blockquote><p>One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.</p></blockquote>
<p>Like many, I also feel the need to ask for validation, affirmation, confirmation. It’s like, I can’t believe right away, I need evidence. Today I just feel like that too. I want to know if this is right, if our plans are doable, feasible, following the S-M-A-R-T rule. I need help. But there’s an answer waiting for me…</p>
<blockquote><p>No, you don&#8217;t need my help. You just need to believe. You must believe.</p></blockquote>
<p>And I will choose to believe because with God… </p>
<blockquote><p>Nothing is impossible.</p></blockquote>
<p>… and He will not answer me, as Master Oogway did Master Shifu…</p>
<blockquote><p>I dunno</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, it’s starting to become clear to me again… Lol. </p>
