Happy New Year!

As if on cue, the bangs increased.
Brilliant lights shot up the midnight sky, showering the empty space with sparks.
It was no Disneyland-style show.
But something about the random fireworks truly performed a unique, spectacular display. No camera could truly capture the beauty in its entity.
I stood there on the balcony, reminiscising fondly of New Years last year. I'd been on this same spot, gleefully (and literally) jumping around yelling "Happy New Year" to the neighborhood.
Something caught me this time, though.
I felt sorrow... remorse... nostalgia... as I flipped through my memories of the past year. I felt no joy whatsoever. Time had changed me a lot within a year. I wondered what I had accomplished. Suddenly, it freshly hit me as it always did; time goes by fast... regardless of whether you're having fun... or not. Looking ahead, I felt fear. With time slipping from my hands, just like that, I felt once again that my life was being wasted. Immediate action was crucial. There was no time for idling.
So I decided that I would be productive of this year as much as I could. It is my intention to never bring out the word 'bored' or 'nothing to do' to my lips... as much as I can resist.
Some people don't have the time. Others simply have it limited.
And yet most of us bring it to waste, only wishing it would fly faster.
Time is precious and we should make the most out of it. Just like the way we should make the most out of our lives. Moreover, we should do it all for God and make Him feel proud.

Some prayer requests I might like to...request for this year!

• First of all my grandfather, who's suffering from brain tumor. He had surgery and everything but he recently had to go back to the hospital. Apparently his health is decreasing once more. Please, please pray!
• Secondly, that I can improve my grades more and try harder.
• Lastly, that I can be efficient with my time.
