| Mabuhay ang Pilipinas |
FOR OUR COUNTRY, THE PHILIPPINES. May 2013 be a more positive year for us Filipinos. We all know that 2012 has brought a lot of bad things for this country. Like typhoons here and there. Tremendous number of people died because of unpreparedness. May our country excel more in terms of the economy. May the Filipino people especially my poor countrymen will finally feel the booming economy everyone is talking about and have a better and prosperous life this coming year. May we be more prepared for more calamities to come, and may our government be more responsive to the needs of the people. May the coming elections this May 2013 be a peaceful and less corrupt. May our COMELEC be more efficient in administering this year's election. May we see the day that corruption in the government will be truly eradicated or lessened in the years ro come. (Now that will be the day.) May we have honest politicians and government officials. If I am not asking too much. And for our President Noy-Noy Aquino...may he have the strength and wisdom to accomplish all his plans for this country, all his aspirations and ambitions. May he stand on his principles and be not discouraged for his failures and continue to move forward for the betterment of this country and the Filipino people.

| The happy face of a Filipino child |
FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. May 2013 be a better year for all of us Filipinos. May we have more successes this 2013 than failures. May we be more ready for all the challenges that are about to come. Ready to resist poverty and be more productive. Ready to face failures and be more resilient. Ready to resist corruption and be more vigilant. Ready to resist deaths due to natural calamities and be more prepared. Ready to resist laziness and be more industrious. I wish for a better Filipino people this year. A people who knows what we want and go for it. A people who is always ready and willing for the success of many not just individually. A people who share and give than always waiting for help.

| More success this year. |
FOR MY FAMILY, THE MONTERO FAMILY. I am aspiring for a more productive 2013 for my family. May our school Psalmshill Christian Learning Center will be more successful this 2013. Success in terms of our application for recognition with DepEd. Success in terms of number of new students. Success for our students specially the graduating grade six pupils this year. May they be successful in their highschool level in their chosen schools. I wish them to be excellent in all of their studies and endeavors. Good luck and God bless you my grade six pupils. May this 2013 our family will be more as one. One in ideals. One in faith. One in prayers. One in our relationship with God.

| I want a laptop. |
FOR MYSELF. I am hoping this 2013 will bring success for me in terms of health. I wish to slim down a bit. this year. I am getting big. I wish to have a more fit and healthy body. I hope to continue exercising a lot. I am also hoping to take the Teacher's Board Exam this year 2013. I hope there will be no problem with the accomplishing of the requirements of DepEd for my board exams. I also hope this year I will be a better teacher than I use to be. I hope to reach down to the needs of my pupils more than my needs. I hope to be more creative in my teaching skills. So I can translate all the lessons to my students according to their level. Not my level. I hope to be more patient and understanding to non-excelling pupils. And be more helpful to them than being unkind and uncaring. And when it comes to WANTS... I badly need a laptop. yes I have been praying for a laptop computer ever since the world began....but it seems God is not giving it to me yet. I don't know why. But I deserve to have a laptop computer. Please Lord answer this persistent prayer of mine. I want to buy one but my salary cannot afford it. I do not have a credit card so i cannot do that. If I will save for it it might take years before I get one. God is rich. He can give me one if he wants to. Yes Lord according to your will. Oh Lord. According to your will. In Your time Lord. Not my time.
OVERALL. I hope and pray 2013 will be a better year for all of us. Who doesn't? All we have to do is to really want it. And pray for it. Let God guide us in every step of the way. In every single day that will pass by this 2013 let God be our leader in everything that we do. And if God is with us who can be against us. Success is sure if God is always in the middle of everything that we do. Specially in helping others.
So let us all look forward to a brighter and successful year 2013!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR...indeed.
MABUHAY ANG PILIPINAS!
LONG LIVE THE PHILIPPINES
