Too many, so I shall stop here.

2007 has been a great year where I experienced a lot and grew up significantly. There were many mistakes along the way, but I don't think I would have not made them if I turned back time. No man is infallible, and that's really how you learn things, by trial and error.

Here's to 2008, which is already looking like it's gonna be a great year :)
