Well, folks. We're at the last day of the year again. And I just like to thank God for helping me survive the waves of challenges until now. I wouldn't have survived the year without Him. I'm ever grateful and thankful for the opportunities, the people and resources that offered me the leverage for hurdle along the way. If I could sum up 2016 with one word, I would say it was a 'stepladder' of a year. A lot of good things have been achieved this year, mostly toward graduating. Indeed it was tough, but I'm relieved of being able to wrap everything properly -- more or less.

Winter, Spring and Fall terms of 2016 were eventful, and I admit that I almost decided to drop one subject this fall. Almost. I have been thinking of a plan B if things went sour, but I shook my head at myself for thinking of such a thing. It is time for my best to shine and accept the blessing - that is my graduation. The truth is I almost gave up on some assignments and academic research papers. But I made it. Thank you, Jesus. I made it. One more term left 'til graduating (and of course one more term 'til I reach repayment status on my student loan). But it doesn't make sense to graduate just to end up bankrupt, so I'm sure it'll work out afterward. That's not really the first thing to think about when graduating. The first thing to think about is a life filled with dreams having received my diploma (diplomas in this case). Those diplomas in Business Administration, Computer Science and Religion and Culture Studies will be mine!

What are the plans for 2017? Well, I can't really say. But I have some ideas. First thing is to graduate, then find a stable job. Then I'm off to pursue my other passion such as writing and creating my own video game. Other things include... well... let me say that those other things will surely follow. Let me just savour and enjoy this moment of respite (since the university re-opens this January 3). As usual, just as I'm getting used to lazying around, busy-ness rears its ugly head again.

More importantly, I sincerely hope that peace and prosperity find you this 2017. Have a blessed new year too. Cheers.
