Happy New Year 2006!!!

The new year is here!! I actually was reminded by a friend that yesterday was already a New Year's eve, otherwise I probably would have mistaken today as the eve instead. T_T.

Last year --- there were so many things I intended to do. Some I accomplished. Some.... not yet. Some... not even close. But overall, I'm quite satisfied. One time I was writing my Japanese teacher and somehow came to list out all the trips I have made in the past year. Oh gosh! I really didn't realized I've been around that much!! Maybe because I stayed pretty much stationary the whole December, so I felt as if I haven't been around that much this year. haha.. Guess I was totally wrong. Wanna see my list?

Japan:
Hokkaido (Sapporo & Otaru - snow festival)
Iwate Prefecture (Morioka City)
Niigata&Nagano Prefecture (for ski trips)
Ishikawa Prefecture (Kanazawa & Wajima)
Aichi Prefecture (Nagoya & Toyohashi)
Kyoto (Kyoto, Amanohashidate, Ankokuji)
Osaka
Nara Prefecture
Wakayama Prefecture (Shirahama & Wakayama city)
Hyogo Prefecture (Kobe, Himeji, Arima onsen)

Overseas:
China (Shiang Hai, Hangzhou, Suzhou)
USA (Boston, NY State, San Francisco, Oregon State, Washington State)
Canada (Toronto, Niagara Falls, Vancouver, Whistler)
Thailand (Bangkok & Rayong) <-- if this counts as overseas! ^^

Traveling is still something in my blood, I guess. More trips are to come for 2006 for sure :)

In 2005, a lot of things happened. Some were amazingly good. Some were just messy. But I'm thankful to be through all these ups and downs. Everything means something doesn't matter good or bad. We learn of them overtime anyways. I'm very thankful for everyone whose our paths crossed. I am who I am because of all of you. Last year, I was really touched by a lot of people, in many occasions. It's really a wonderful feeling. I'm really grateful for everyone's love, care and heartwarming thoughts of me. I promise to keep being me or even a better me throughout this year and the following years to come. Okie doke.. let's end this before it gets too emotional!

Wishing everyone enjoys the year 2006 with great success in everything you do. May your happiness be the happiest. May your health be the healthiest. May your luck be the luckiest.

All the best to you! Happy New Year!!!

Love,
