My 100th Post and the New Year

So it {finally} came! My 100th post
{which has been a struggle}
It's also time to celebrate New Year!!!

What a timing!

{Promise I didn't cheat!}

Now, I'm not good at creating resolutions {unless it is pixel related} or keeping them either, so I'll just choose the easiest route:

Cross my fingers {and toes} AND hope for a fruitful year ahead!

How I'm ending 2008

With a BIG HOPE for CHANGE

Last night, I {and hubby} took part in a small-group community meeting regulated by the Obama-Biden Transition Project whose key element is to revamp America's Health Care System with the help of collective voices and ideas from us, the people!

Health Care and Insurance plays a major role in our society, yet most of us can't afford it because it is one of the biggest money hog! It is with {BIG} hope that this project the new government has launched will help resolve this problem. Like I said: cross fingers and toes and hope!

Now Let's CELEBRATE New Year with a TWIST,

here are some fun, cool {wacky} things you can do at the strike of midnight :

Wear anything RED : it signifies good luck! {if you miss, try your luck on Chinese New Year}

Put lots of coins in your pockets : signifies financial bliss in the coming year

Put coins in a can or container and shake it hard : it attracts monetary bliss in the coming year

Clang all your pots and pans or just make a noise { like Mushu} : drives away bad luck

Jump up and down : only for short people - it is believed to make you grow taller {magic grower, perhaps?}

Heck, just have fun!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Thank you for making this year a great experience for me. Your presence and visits here has been and always will be part of the inspiration of this blog...
