This is my official mantra for the year. The three words are inspired from the lives of three beautiful ladies:

Dream (cating) : Dear self, here's to hoping that 2012 be the year that you continue to make your dreams come true. Don't ever stop dreaming coz as what you have seen last year, dreams do come true. Just continue to dream big! They may not happen overnight but the universe will always conspire to make your dreams come to life. Keep at it, dream big!:)

Believe (joan) : To my negastar, let 2012 be the year when you start believing again. Believe in yourself, in life and most important of all, in love. Yes, life has been tough in the past but you are tougher. Do not sell yourself short coz when I see you, I see a strong woman who can overcome whatever curve ball life throws your way. You deserve all the blessings that are coming your way, don't feel guilty. Enjoy everything that you have and believe that you deserve it and more. Most important of all, believe that someone will come along and love you like you deserve to be loved. It doesn't have to be this year, or next year but continue on believing that someday your prince will come. Coz I believe in my heart that the day will come when I will give a speech at your wedding;) You have a big heart and that heart deserves to be loved. Believe in love!:)

Dare (bontic) : Sa B ng buhay ko, may this year be the year that you learn to say no. It is a simple enough word that with practice, you will be able to master. No more miss nice girl;) Dare to do what your heart desires. Stop being afraid of the consequences. People who truly love you, like me, will support you no matter what you decide to do. Dare to travel alone, dare to defy what you are told, dare to let someone in, but most of all, dare to love! Don't be afraid to love coz even if it hurts in the end, you will still be left with great memories. You deserve to love and be loved plus so much more. Don't be afraid. Whatever happens, I will always be here for you. To laugh with you, to cry with you, to celebrate life with you. Dare to love!:)

To the two best girls in my life, I dedicate the three words to you. Every time you are sad and in need of a boost just look at the bracelets I gave you to remember that I am here cheering you both on. I don't know where life will take me in the coming months but I sure know, you will always be part of my life. I lurve you to death! :*

p.s.

these words are dedicated to everyone out there who has stopped dreaming, lost hope and is too afraid to move forward. in short, to everyone who has loved and lost. let the three words guide you in your journey...
