The neighborhood is now filled with sounds of laughter and what else?... firecrackers of course! And as I am typing this, we're about to end the year 2008 which a lot, Feng Shui believers, consider as a lucky year.

Before we bid adieu to '08 and embrace '09 with high hopes... let's just do a little looking back of what had been.

-ed:
* 08-08-08 = lucky for us Chinese
* non-stop political and showbiz scandals here and there
* Melamine scare
* ECONOMIC CRISIS
* Obama won Presidential election in U.S.
* Manny Paquiao won again and again in the Boxing Arena
* Charice going international
* the cute Charlie Green - Frank Sinatra's miniature
* a handful of foreign concerts

There are a lot, good and bad, that happened this year. Those I mentioned above are just some of the highlights that I remember.

2008 had evidently been hard on all of us but I say... You'll never know how to appreciate the little good things in life if you never had experience any hardships.

As for New Year's Resolutions... I have none. If you want to do something then do it now. It's that simple. It should not be 'wait for new year to become a new person'. Such thing just don't happen.

Good bye 2008! and
WELCOME 2009!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
