goodbye 2008...

this was me back in 1983... changed a lot ever since, no longer the little guy as in the picture... i've never made any new year resolutions before, since i do believe that we don't need any particular event or a certain duration of time for us to make any changes in ourselves... here are some new year quotes by well known people that caught my eyes...

Mark Twain
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.

Brooks Atkinson
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

Bill Vaughan
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.

happy new year to all... may the world be a better place for us to live in.... amin...
