bought myself a Christmas gift this year a Karaoke DVD player. I love this new addition to my routine life. This toy has over 20,000 karaoke songs and is compatible with Midi DVD, DVD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD audio and MP3 discs. The most attractive feature is the auto-score calculation function. I can self-entertain or have fun with a group of friends. To celebrate this holiday season, I am planning to do Christmas decorations for the first time in my apartment and my balcony. I always feel very blessed and grateful at this season of the year. It is the time to be thankful. Be thankful to whatever has happened that makes who I am today, hopefully a better me. :) Be thankful to people that I have associated with at different settings, and to many nameless and faceless people that have helped me and shaped me at various stages of my life. It is time to forget and forgive. It is time to conclude one year with joy and start a new year with hope. I promise myself to live my life in earnest, be appreciative, and be happy. Life can be beautiful, cann't it?
