since i'm growing older, it is also an opportunity to achieve more and improve on several aspects of my life...

.. be more patient
.. be more thankful for life's simple pleasures
.. to always strive to be happy wherever i'm at or in whatever i'm doing (happiness is a state of mind after all)
.. be more human
.. be more free spirited
.. be more loving
.. be more wise and open minded
.. be sexier, haha! (it is also a state of mind, aye!)
.. be healthier in my choice of food and lifestyle (includes quitting ill habits)

I am who I am, take it or leave it! =)

I also want to take this time to say 'I LOVE YOU' to the people who matter most. I may not be the perfect daughter, sister or friend but I'll always strive to be one.
