I can't believe that we've been together since 2004 (longer than any of my past romantic relationships). Thanks for sticking and witnessing the last five years of my life - which ironically were also the most important ones.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou're such a great buddy. You've always been there for me even if I neglected you in the past. I know that you still haven't forgiven me for almost ditching you when I was stressed and \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/abbieunreal.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/Goodyear\"\u003Eoverworked at Goodyear\u003C\/a\u003E three years back. But I also know that I more than made up for that when \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/abbieunreal.blogspot.com\/2008\/08\/i-won.html\"\u003EI won you\u003C\/a\u003E the Pond's Age Miracle Blog Writing Contest last year. People were so happy about you that I've been asked twice to join other blog writing contests by a couple of PR firms since winning in July. I unfortunately have to turn it down because I don't have the energy and time to devote on it. I was also asked just recently to test some blogging platform but you and I both know that I cannot do it because of obvious conflicts. :)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EPeople are always asking me why I keep you. My reasons varied in the last five years - from keeping an on-line memory repository to keeping my sanity intact by having a \"venting machine\". But I know now why you are here. I just learned recently your purpose. Writing and publishing something about me is for my future generations. I know for sure that no one will be interested to write my story ala \"Diary of Anne Frank\" so I figured that I should just do it myself through you. It would be great for my future kids to read how I lived and loved. It will hopefully teach them what to avoid in the future (eg. men with commitment issues, mean colleagues and bosses who doesn't give a sh!t about you, etc.). If in case I will not be married or have kids, I am sure that my niece Gabbie will have a riot reading you and learning about my friends, our adventures, my crazy antics, food loving, and fun travels.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EYou are definitely one of my most precious possessions. I often read your archive especially when something is bugging me. I often search it for insights whenever I need to decide on something or if I am confused. My memories are kept alive because of you and for that I am grateful. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI vow to keep you as long as I can. Thanks for all that has been and for all that will be!

They are three friends of mine (from different circles) who were truly God's gift to me especially this year. I just recently reconnected and \"discovered\" them and they truly helped me a lot in some difficulties this year.

Binch and I used to frequent it a lot last year when we were doing our Goodyear Marketing Plan slides and presentations.
