2008 - 2009

The last minutes of 2008 are ticking away. It has been a year with ups and downs, happiness and joy but also tears and pain. People close to me went to heaven, but also new friends that came into my life.

Let me take a moment to thank people that inspired me the past year:

Mom and dad for feeding me a year long, giving me a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear and books to study. Wouldn't want to trade the two of you for any other parents.

Dear Lolu, I have no idea what I would do without you. You always prevent me from flying too high, and when I do fly high, you put my two feet back on the ground. So thank you for your cruelness and support throughout these past few years. You are much more than a friend, you are like a sister to me. May all your wishes come true sweetie pie.

Chris, it has been a while since we last had a long conversation, but I haven't forgot the good old days we used to share. I'm sure that you will win that state championship next year, or what was the thing you lost in San Fransisco?

Laye, I only recently met you but you have brought me so much laughter with your dance class! From now on when I hear 7 Seconds by Youssou N'Dour and Neneh Cherry, I will be thinking about you.

Dieter for all the jokes we shared and for the times he succeeded to pull my legs. Whenever someone mentions New York, I will always think about your funny and funky dreads you work so well. Good luck with your last year Medical School, I know you have the brains to succeed!

Tinashe for being one of my eldest friends and never shouting at me, even though I may have had some annoying moments this past year.

Tim and Henry for keeping me company during those boring classes, I am sure the professors noticed us, whether that be in a positive or negative way. Dimitri for telling me the history of Royal Antwerp Football Club. Amilla for fulling my inbox with questions about class otherwise I wouldn't have opened a book during the year. Uduak for the beautiful blog entries you shared with us, ... And basically everyone who contributed a thing to my life.
