Having said that, I would like to thank every one who, in some way or another, has made me for what, who, and where I am today.
My family. They've always been there my entire life. Sure, I may not understand them all the time. I get into a few quarrels with my siblings, my brothers especially, but I love them with all my heart. My family comes second to none. (Not counting my belief in the Lord, though ;p)
My girls. And by that I mean my high school and college friends. Don't go thinking of something else. Hehe. They are the ones who can put up with my mood swings. They put up with my childishness. They answer my stupid and usually very trivial questions with patience. But most importantly: they never fail to remind me to stop questioning the ugly things that passed my way, and that instead I should have faith that something good will come out in the end. Kristel, Je, Aubs, Fran, KC, Tin, Rei, Ingrid, and Hanna: "Thank you for the kind words, wonderful advices, and patience. I love you gurls!" *Group hug* =)
My O8O Family. Thank you for taking me under your wing. Working in this company is like a dream come true. I think it's seldom that a person can get the career that he really wants. And it's even harder to be surrounded by talented, creative, and fun people in the office. In my case, I've got both. So, let's all BOUNCE and JUST GO with the FLOW 'cause WE'VE DEFINITELY STRUCK GOLD. Not to mention that October Eighty, TSUPER knows how to CRADLE those around her. Anyway, let's all raise our wine glasses (pretend that you're holding one) to 2009 and to the world of publishing!
The Love of My Life, Ian Belleza. I've said this to you a gazillion times, but I won't tire of saying it over and over and over again. I am deeply in love with you. You are my boyfriend, bestfriend, and big brother rolled into one. Thanks for putting up with my demands, immaturity, crankiness, and whatnots. You are the sweetest guy ever! And because of that, you are like the icing on my (ube macapuno) cake.
The Lord, our God. Thank you for everything that you meant to happen in my life. I've learned how to trust; to stand up for myself; to know when I've had enough; to not cry over spilled milk; to be more patient and be more understanding; to realize that good things come to those who wait. And, of course, I learned to love again. Please always keep my family and my friends (and myself) safe. And lastly, please guide us with your everlasting light.
AMEN.
