Nominations for 2007

2007 has been a great year for me! Lived half/half in two different countries (Netherlands and Lithuania), visited one country never been to (Denmark) and revisited Belgium and Estonia. Met a lot of amazing people, a few of them I became very close friends of mine. Had loads of exciting moments. Have been taking serious professional decisions - went back to sales again, chose a future with less money in the beginning but with more opportunities. Got into my favorite business industry - media/advertising. Not all of the years experiences I have managed to capture in the blog, but let me look back quickly at the year 2007 and announce my nominations for Year 2007:

I chose the year 2008 will be the year of health and balance. After a busy and exciting life for 2 years abroad and 6 months in an intense work and party roller-coaster, I feel like I REALLY need to take care of myself, otherwise it will become a problem. Yup, less junk food, more water, less small little vices and more exercise!

Did you have some cheese on your New Year's Eve?

According to Chinese horoscope, since the year 2008 is Rat's year, you have to treat the rat so the rat would take care of you in 2008. So I hope you had some cheese or nuts during the New Years Eve (next to champagne, concerts, TV watching, tequilla, dirty dancing and other stuff that you normally do while celebrating New Year's Eve).

Happy 2008!!
