On my 34th year

Things I am thankful for:

· That I am still alive. Despite of my diabetes, I could still do things I would like to do

· My family – for always being there and for being my inspiration

· My true friends - I know they are few but I know I could count on them if I need help. With the friends like you guys, there’s no way I could go wrong.

· The people who pretended to be my friends – still I thank you. You made me appreciate my true friends better.

· A person who reminded me that I could still be capable of loving. Too bad it didn’t work, but I do learn a lot. Next time, I’ll be better.

· My promotion – though I am not comfortable with the new position, it challenge me to be a better leader and not to be the leader that I used to dislike.

· Dmitri (my third laptop) and GhildonX (my Xperia X10 phone)

Lessons I learned:

· Prioritize people who matters to you and treated you well because you matter to them. Don’t settle on being an option if there are people who could treat you well.

· Despite of your good motives and intentions, you will not please everybody. Make sure that you acknowledge those who appreciate things you do. Evaluate words from the critics and never mind the haters.

· Never forget to say thanks for every help that comes along the way whether big or small.

· Be careful and examine what people tell you. Not all those who said that they are your friends are friends. Always be careful of conflicting actions and acts. Learn to identify who are telling the truth and trust then. Stay away from those who are untrue.

· Good things come to those who wait. Patience is a virtue.

· Accept the things that you cannot change nor control.

· Be careful of people who will twist the truth or say a partial truth to make themselves look good by making you look bad.
