2013 to 2014

It's the new year - 2014. 

2013 - who will forget how the world was re-shaped by events that impacted each one of us. Who will forget the earthquake in Bohol that devastated its beautiful wonders, the Yolanda typhoon which left hundred of thousand homeless and thousand dead. These are some of the significant events that happened in the Philippines. In other parts of the world - we heard and watched the news about Nelson Mandela's death and the death of Margaret Thatcher. We heard news about the civil strife in Syria. The killing of innocent civilians - especially children. Who will forget about the bombing in Boston marathon - 2013 was not a good year for all of us.

For all these catastrophic events, I know that there are a lot to be happy about. 2013 is not the end of the world but there are a lot of lessons to remember. We can learn a lot from our experiences last year and use them as tool to make our future more happier and more productive. Let start exerting effort to make the world a better place - for us and other people. I know, I am being optimistic but that's what we should always do.

To all brethren, let's all have a happy new year - 2014!.
