Today marks the first birthday of my blog. Check out my first entry here.
I'm not making a big enough deal of it, but there's still time considering that I'll be out tonight with a bunch of old university buddies. Maybe we'll share a piece of cake or something.
Too many things have happened this year. I've grown further away from some, closer to others and perhaps, understood myself more. 2003 was a humbling experience, one that I would not want to relive.
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
There's light at the end of the tunnel.
"post tenebris lux" - after shadows comes light (thanks Vix!)
Sentences that people smirk at when uttered.
If I had to learn one thing from this year, it'll be that we all need to love ourselves a lot more. We tend to think too much about what other people that at times, we forget to look after ourselves. No matter how much someone loves you, you should love yourself more, because when it comes to the crunch, when you travel on this voyage called Life, and when it's time to meet your Maker, you are on your own.
Anyway, sad news. The pier you saw in this photo burned down. Perhaps something beautiful can come out of this too?

Your blog has been in my "selection" from the first day I learn about blogging and setup my own.
Like they say, "many happy returns" of MD anniversary.

no vulgarity, no abusive words, that's a plus
Posted by: bill at 2003年12月12日 00:25I didn't realize your blog is born later than me...MD certainly grows up faster :) Many more happy anniversaries to come, Najah. Keep on putting your delightful-to-read thoughts - gadget talk, emotion talk, current issue talk, all of it.

Posted by: Najah at 2003年12月12日 16:11congratulations, happy birthday to MD.
btw, your photographs are really, really good... especially the cake. the colors are well balanced, are you using gimp to auto-level it or it came out like that from your digi-camera? i know, it's out of topic... but can't help it, i've been staring at it for a while now ;-)

Honestly, I can't remember. But chances are I probably didn't do anything to it.
