The people in my life to whom this blog is dedicated :
(1) Friends and Family: Hopefully, although some of us are lands apart, we can still keep in touch, and can still be updated with what goes on in our lives :)
(2) Myself: Now that I've got a little space to pen my thoughts, maybe I'll start muttering to myself a little less often... :)
