Fresh Start!

New years are always glamorous!  Swear!   

Imagine how gracious life can actually be?
Well, another fruitful year to begin with for all our successful kabayans! Cheers! Lalo na sa minamahal nating JEEPNEY PRESS! Happy 10th anniversary! Salute and cheers to all! 

And if by any chance, hindi satisfying  ang naging 2012 mo?... Brace yourself up 'cause here comes another year which comes with confetti for a fresh start. This time, choose what you deserve. And enjoy the price of it eventually. Dahil yan ang "Gift" na natatangggap natin every year. Enjoy and make the most out of this special gift.

How do we start fresh nga ba this 2013?
Let us count the ways...Uhmmm...Pwede ding ilista lahat ng goals for this year. In that way, merong black and white na pagbabasihan. Malinaw kung anu-anong targets ang gusto mong marating at matupad. Para minus excuses malamang. Listahan factor, sayang kasi just in case, makalimutan mo ang ilan sa kanila, depende sa kagustuhan mo. Have it your way.

Dito sa Japan naman, one of the common traditions they practice every new year is to clean up their dirty stuffs sa bahay. General cleaning ang peg nila. Literally, they clean up! In that way, they inhibit the feeling of a real "fresh start" nga naman. But for those people na talaga naman nakagawian nang linisin pati singit singitan ng kung saan, you may skip this step anyway. Karamihan naman sa ating mga pinoy, natural na ang maglilinis nang maglilinis ng kabahayan, diba?

Sakali namang, personal refreshment ang need mo...Try to relax some more?! Baka naman puspusan ang kasipagan mo, kabayan! Chill ka ng kapiraso paminsan minsan. Try to reward your hardworking self. Deserve mo yan! 

Finally, according to studies, reflecting over the past year helps. Contemplate on where you've reached in life so far daw. Magmuni-muni sa nakalipas na taon. In that way, answers for every fresh start will naturally bloom out of nowhere. Are there new things you need to start? Saang parte kaya ng daily routine mo halimbawa? Health? Wealth? Human relations? Spiritual? Physical?! At iba pa. 

Everyday, lahat tayo entitled to freedom to choose. Galing diba?!  Parang treasure hunt halos araw-araw. Kaya naman puno lagi ng excitement  ang buhay. Something to look forward. Something to be thankful for, as always! At sa susunod na year end, sigurado, lahat magiging excited sa outcome ng kani-kanilang pagsisikap. Most especially, dahil pinili nating magkaroon ng "fresh start" na puno ng enthusiasm. Uhmmm…Fresh Start!
