My greetings and wishes for you friends

Dear friends ,

Recently , Pope Benedict XVI in his speech addressed to more than 100 ,000 young people gathered at St Peter's square , " You must never adapt yourself to a love reduced to a commercial good , to be consumed without respect for oneself and for others , incapable of chastity and purity . Much of the love proposed by the media and the internet is not love but selfishness and closure " .

As I reflected on those words of the Holy Father , I knew in an instant that he was talking to me . I do admit that I too have been caught up with the materialistic world and things that this sinful world had to offer me despite trying my very best to live a noble and humble life that I’m brought up to be . And I’m still working hard at it . This year thus far has been a rather challenging and downtrodden one but nevertheless , I never stopped singing my praises to the heavens above and can’t never stopped counting my blessings ( not too little not too many ) in any way . One of the main highlights of this year and my all time favourite , was my three week long trip to Europe and once in a life time opportunity ( adventure ) – to go on a mountain hiking trip at St Martin’s , Italy – thanks to my sister and her family . What an experience I must say ! And as in the coming years , I will be continuing with my studies since time is on my side and while my brain is still in the learning ‘ mode ‘ of gaining additional knowledge – I thought this is after all – a chance to broaden my horizon beyond the surface . I guess I will not bore you with my bitter moments that this year had to come by me .

So , where did the year go ? Suddenly it is December ...............again - and we realize with giant strides we started in January and within a blink of an eye , 2010 is on it's back !

A big " THANK YOU " to you all for the huge impact you had on my life this year . Especially for all the support and e-mails I received ...........................without you , I'm sure that 2010 would have been extremely boring.

I wish you a magical Christmas filled with abundance of loving wishes and wonderful thoughts .

May 2011 BE FILLED WITH JOY AND PROSPERITY ^_^ !

Should you be travelling during this time.....please take care!

With warmest regards & greetings
