Thank you 2015... cheers for 2016!

2015 had reached its end line! It was a very meaningful year for me because of so many long-awaited dreams that finally came true.

Although there were bumps and loopholes in between but what is important is that we survived the challenges and continue to stand tall proud and happy.

It is true that we just have to uplift our heart’s desires to the Lord because with Him nothing is impossible.

May this 2016 be another meaningful year for all of us, keeping a strong faith and a good heart. Happy New Year beautiful people in this world. Cheers!

As a throwback, here are the most meaningful moments of my 2015.
