My 2007 Guidelines

I've been good. I've been bad. I've been naughty. I've been nice. I've been up. I've been down. I've lost. I've triumphed. I laughed. I cried. I took a big leap and occasionally look back from where I came from. I let go but I sometimes wish what was then.

A new year is about to usher in. Whatever 2006 was for you and me, we need to be thankful that we're still alive and we have a chance to change ourselves and the world (nah that might be too heavy for some! hahaha!).

Everything happens for a reason. We may not understand the reason behind a particular incident but we will eventually realize what it was for. I'm speaking from my own personal experience and as well as the events that had surrounded our country the past year. We may not be able to change everything in a snap but we can be an instrument for that change. Change should start within ourselves.

As usual, my intro sounds so heavy but really it is not. I've gotta make some changes in my life. How do people call it? "New Year's Resolution"?. I'd rather call it my 2007 Guidelines.

2007 Guidelines:

1. blog more (It's my way of unloading my feelinds and it does help)
   
2. rekindle old friendships
   
3. watch what I eat
   
4. lessen my McDonald's food trips
   
5. stop giving lame excuses for not attending some gatherings
   
6. watch movies in cinemas and not just in the comfort of my room
   
7. be nice and smile more
   
8. pamper myself once in a while (a good massage, facial, out of town getaway,not so much with food)
   
9. find time to be with friends
   
10. be a more relaxed driver (understand other motorists for being so stupid on the road)
    
11. drive slower (as requested by my mom)
    
12. finish a good book in a month
    
13. give other colors a chance especially pink
    
14. not aim to be the best but try my very best
    
15. breathe, chill, relax...
    
16. save, save, save.... (we don't know what will happen next)
    
17. accept other people as they are (I'm not thinking highly of myself. It's just that I'm not very comfortable with "some" people)
    
18. watch concerts
    
19. have good clean fun (I can only live once)
    
20. don't let time and chance slip by because I'm too sleepy

I'll add more just in case.

How about you? What are your 2007 guidelines?

We just hope next year is gonna be a good one for all of us..

Let me cap this year with Gary V.'s song as my prayer:

Could You Be Messiah

Could You be healer
To a heart that's been wounded
In a battle that's never seen
Could You be teacher
To a mind of confusion
Tell me what does this all mean

Are You deliverer
Of an imprisoned feeling in chains
Can You set my spirit free
And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah to me

Could You be father
To a soul that's been abandoned
By a world to busy to hear
Could You be friend
To a helpless survivor
Can You take away my fears

I heard them all sharing
This new found conviction in them
Are You all that they make You to be

And just one more question
Allow me this question
Could You be Messiah to me
Please be Messiah to me

Now i've been looking for someone like You
And i'm so tired, i'm tired
I've read every book and i've sang every song
My mind maybe right but my heart feels so wrong
Tell me how much further can my life go along
Which way do the roads lead where do I belong...

Are You forgiver
Of my most unknown secrets
Provider of all that I need
Could You be brother
The one who knows better
Would You now stand in the lead

When all this is over all the thunder and lightning
In the daylight just what will I see
The answers to my questions to all of my questions
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah to me
Could You be Messiah
Please be Messiah to me...
