make lemonade out of lemons

it's a matter of hours before we usher in the new year. and somehow, i cant wait for 2005 to end. too much has happened. too much of all the extremes. i had the best of 2005, and i had my very bad fall.

Earlier this year, i went thru the worst emotional roller-coaster of my life. an event i took a loong time to overcome. and to add to the wound, i lost my dear aunt who lost her battle to cancer. it seemed as though my eyes couldn't have been any more swollen. my heart too.

Over time, i asked myself why was i given such torment, and i wondered what wrong i haf done. God opened the door for me. a journey to the West. i took myself away to learn independence, to learn the trivialities of life. Germany was the place i found new friends and all the answers i seeked.

and how can i forget the place and the ppl who constantly makes me think of them. Aceh. i miss u kids.

the holidays are over for me now, i will head back to school. and with the coming of the new year, i wish to put everything behind me and open a new chapter.

i know many of my friends out there are facing quite about the similar life-changing events and i know u girls are strong enough to go through yet another year.

there is so much love in this world. when life gives u lemons, make lemonade. when life gives u bad lemons, make body scrub! (ask farena for recipe)

this year, i got many lemons *beribu-ribu lemon!* but come 2006, i'll make sure i make lemonades out of them and quench the thirst of all. :)

and b4 i end, i'd like to share a poem the boy sent to me which made me love him even more. nevermind the originality, think of the sincerity.

i wish to see through your eyes so i will know what u'd like to see

i wish to know your wishes so that i can grant them.

i wish to have the same dream with you so that

we can work hard together to make it true...

i wish to know what makes u happy so i can make u the happiest person on earth

and i wish to be a cell in your blood so that

i might end up somewhere in your heart...

=)

okayyy, it's not exactly a poem but it's sooo sweeeeeeeeeeetttttttt, no?

HAPPY NEW YEAR y'all!
