"Rosalinda"

"Rosalinda."

Yes, my life was a  modern 2012 telenovela series.

So as I turn over a new leaf this 2013,

I decided to portray 'Rosalinda' to end my year with a bang!

In business, I had to learn the hard way.

No one said it would be easy, but I knew it would be worth it.

Sleepless nights, eyebags and missed social nights.

2 major foreign deals closed, baby!

I wouldn't be where I am right now if it weren't for all the things I've been through. 

I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for the people who inspired me to believe in myself.

Somewhere and sometime in 2012, I realized how vulnerable we can be when we love.

Loving something...someone & ourselves give us reasons to look back, hold on & move on.

Having said these, YOU can be a better YOU as long as you believe in YOURSELF.

Yes, along the way, you can get hurt, you can be stolen from, you can make wrong decisions.

But, don't forget to look at the mirror, and ask yourself what really matters most in life.

2012 can and may be filled with mistakes, but look up and smile...

That's why there's still 2013! The world didn't end on 12/21/12 for a reason right?!

So I'd like to remember my 2012 as the Modern "Rosalinda",

 who continuously inspired people and made people fall in love with her.

So here is my December 31, 2012 look!

Seasons come and go,

Like flowers bloom and wilt.

But there will always be another year to look forward to.

2012 is the past now,

It's time to turn over a new leaf!

Looking back can be a relief,

But looking ahead empowers you to do more and be more.

Say goodbye to 'what ifs' and 'if onlys'

'Cuz with 2013,

It's time for second chances...

Chances to makes changes, chances to make things right!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!
