Yet another year has come! Today is the year of the dog. Shigure-san must be happy this year! *snickers* Oh well, 'tis also the perfect time to look back at the special memories made in the past year. Speaking of which, I'll list the highlights of last year's events...

Last year...

*I joined my first ever *and probably my last! hehe* sports competition in school *college*. I participated in the women's basketball event and I made our batch banner and i'm glad that a lot of them liked it.

*I also participated on our On-the-Spot postermaking contest and Treasure Hunt during the Nurses' Week. *Or was it foundation day?*

*I passed my Med-Surg class with a not-so-good grade. *Still lucky I got through it!*

*My sis already settled in Germany with her husband.

*I get to spend more time with my family... as a whole. My father stayed with us for months.

*I became the class president for our last year in college.

*I already had my grad pic taken.

*I learned to love and to let go.

*I spent a lot of time with my friends which I think I might've neglected before.

*I learned a lot through all the challenges and hardships.

*I learned to appreciate everything that was offered to me and I am thankful for all of that.

*I saw an actual live birth. Aw...

*I learned to be compassionate and resilient.

These are so far some of the greatest things about 2005! I'll list more when I remember them.

Life is so beautiful!!!
