measuring life through love

firstly i am now declaring "rent" as my most favourite musical ever. jonathan larson is a pure genius. anyway, let me quote one song from that musical that will serve as my life's manual for the incoming 2008:

stop wrinkling your forehead. i haven't found a boyfriend yet to get engrossed with a song that endlessly repeats "love". i may get bitter about stupid things once in a while but i still like hearing that "l" word. i may not be romantically involved yet but i still love my roller coaster life. so that's love you got there. and it's the first requirement before you venture out into loving others.

looking back at the things that i did or the things that were done for me in 2007, i have to say that this is the best year of my life so far. it was indeed five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes well spent. from family, pinas besties, school mates, pinoy night mates, phk-mates, ppc-hk mates, blog mates, upaa-hk mates, bar mates, gym mates, office mates - every one of them did a good job making me feel like everything just fell into place. i felt really loved and i hope i did a good job making them feel that they are loved, too.

in a few days we'll be re-starting the default mark of that five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes for a new beginning. i wish everybody makes use of them wisely and spread the love.
