The past year has brought me a few great things - faces admired and trusted, a transformed mentality, crazy songs sang, sudden liberty, significant tears, consequential chuckles, and a devoted heart, and thanks to all the miseries I ran into-- I've been better.

I have to admit, my 2007 was crazy. In fact, I feel like I didn't live my 2007 at all! I've been into things that only bring sudden joy, and lingering disturbance later. There were many times that I wanted to knock my face off and run away from the rest of the world to getaway from all the fears and anxieties which were inescapable anyway since all resided just inside me, but thank God I found my strength and was able to build enough courage to face all the fears, all the consequences, all the potential pains, then get over all those things and learn from my mistakes. 2007 was kind enough to bring me real people to trust, to cry into, and to love.

And what's really great about 2007? It's that I was showered with crazy, stupid yet beautiful surprises.

Who would have thought I'd wear mini shorts and skirt to a review center in Summer of 2007? That I would meet loads of new friends and have the best Summer yet? That I would be in 4-SD well in fact I should have been in 4-SAG? That I would have the best Birthday yet? That I would emcee an event and wear a 500worth pink gown in August '07? Who would have thought Tita Shao and Dad would tie the knot in August of 2007? That I would enroll at Musicians Corner again and build guts to sing on-stage? That I would meet someone (hmmmm) ? That I would go to Tagaytay in October with the SD people and have a memorable yet crazy retreat experience? That I would pass the OGS Aptitude test? That I would have my wrist henna-tattooed in November '07?

... who would have ever thought that I'd be joining a few gigs in the city and out with the Archia Band? That Gerald Shane Jari Millan Decano, II , MY BROTHER, would finally see the world in December of 2007? And that I would spend my New Year seeing new colors of pyrotechnics??? Who would have thought I would ever survive the year ?...

Surely, 2007 was great, but not a blast.

And since 2008's around, I'll work my way to making my 2008 a total blast. NO PROMISES, NO RESOLUTIONS, ...

Coz who needs those anyway?... I dont.

..you'll see. ;)
