This year hasn't really been good to me. If not for occasional hugs from friends and lovely kisses from the lover, I wouldn't have made it through the year. Work was okay bordering on bad, my family has encountered a lot of changes this year--we're about to face the biggest one yet. We're moving out of our house. It's sad because I have separation anxiety, I cry over the slightest things. Now, imagine this house has been my home for the past 23 yrs and we're moving out. Sigh, I really have to learn the art of moving on. 

On to greater things, this year I have to thank for the friends I've gained. Friends who stayed through the worst and of course, the lover who was there throughout everything. 

Being the self-absorbed person that I am, you'll probably be surprised that this post is not all about me. It's about a friend's birthday so I won't be saying a lot because I'm not good at that. If I were to write something about myself, we can take all day, that's how self-absorbed I am. Nah, kidding. Well, sort of because I've already bombarded you with thoughts about myself before stating something proper about the person we will be talking about today. Hah, got you there!
