Isang repleksyon para sa taong 2013 at ilang bagay para sa susunod na taon

Ang taong ito ang isa sa mabungang taon para sa akin.

Una, marami akong natanggap na biyaya/blessings. Pisikal (maraming pera kumpara dati. :-D ) at intelektwal (maraming panahon para makapagbasa ng mga librong dating nakastack lang).

Ikalawa, maraming nakilalang bagong kaibigan. :-)

At ikatlo, nairaos ang pag-iisang dibdib namin ng aking asawa sa Simbahan. :-)


Sa susunod na taon, mga nais kong mangyari:

1. maipasa ang non-Tagalog/Other Filipino Languages Proficiency Exam;
2. makapaghapag ng thesis proposal at maaprubahan ito ng panel;
3. makasulat pa ng mas maraming akda;
4. matanggap sa isa pang writing workshop; at
5. huwag nang magkasakit, lalo na ay maospital, si Likha.

Sana mangyari ang mga ito. :-)

It's been a long, long, long time... (with apologies to George Harrison)

It's been a long, long, long time since I've opened, read, wrote, and posted my entries here on my blog. Numerous tasks have overtaken my "free time". Hope I could post my new writings in the future. :-)

Anyway, I just want to say to my readers:

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!

I hope that this year, 2013, will be a lot better for all of us citizens of the world.

Some of my hopes for this year:

1. May the climate change we are experiencing since a few years back be lessened until totally eliminated;
2. Israel and Palestine be in peace forever;
3. Islamic nations will not be intervened by the Western powers;
4. Armed conflicts in the whole world be resolved through peace negotiations; and
5. The Philippines, my country, be economically and politically stable after the May elections this year.

May the Almighty watch and guide us all. :-)
