2013 went by so quick and a lot has changed from the previous year.. I have lost a dear relative (Tita Rose) and gained a new one (Baby Ava) lost a lot of friends but gained more buddies this year. 2013 was also a year of blessings to our family, from our the place that we are staying in right now, to daddy's health. 2013 is a wow year for me, it is not always happy but that's what makes it perfect :) 

AS I SAY HELLO TO 2014, i end this year's conclusion with this...

At the end of the day... it's going to be YOU calling the shots. Your STORY. Your LIFE. Your CHOICE. YOU have the power to CHANGE everything. allow yourself to be the person you dreamed of becoming. NEVER GIVE UP. soon enough you will reap the harvest of your hard work. TRUST and you will be rewarded. LOOK UP! and expect things to shake. FEEL the energy from within and RADIATE it towards others. BE GRATEFUL. BE AWESOME! no one else can do it for you :D (c)Mariel Tan
