hello blog! I have just survived 2009:) A year, which for me, had been really adventurous. It was something way too different from the past years. Two years ago, it had been a happy, carefree and wild time--being with friends whom I have shared my so-called "philosophical thoughts", bringin out my wacky and outspoken side, and hoping that someday, I would be able to fulfill my dreams...well, during those times, the opportunity to follow my real career path.
2009 was a year of finally fulfilling the dream:) I thank my new workplace for trusting in my capabilities, allowing me to write, and learn the ropes of the kind of work I have dreamt of doing. Along the road, I have experienced a hell of setbacks, which shook my emotions, questioned if I'm on the right environment. I have planned of leaving..go away and find a better environment.
But then, things changed. Just when my mind was set to leave, here comes the opportunity for a better kind of work.
I am grateful for being given the opportunity to travel, for bringing out the passion to explore places, and organizations, as well as meet people.
Another thing, I am blessed for meeting new people--both wacky, problematic, out of this world, "ranters", as well as positive people. Because of them, I was able to look at life from both directions. Thank you, thank you so much!
I was blessed to have rekindled old friendships before the year ended. It was both a happy and sad experience. Happy because I was able to see them again, and be with them...sad...err...for some reasons which is better remain unsaid from the cyberworld*wink,wink*
2009 was also a year of being brave. To let things happen, you have to step out of your comfort zone, learn to be assertive, work hard, or simply having the strength to experience and encounter different challenges.
I am not saying goodbye to 2009. It had been a part of me. I just pray that whatever things I have experienced from 2009 will help me to become better, and stronger to face 2010. I'm starting the year different from the past years.
Back then, I have tried to "reinvent" myself. Now, I acknowledge everything that has happened. Thank you 2009 for all the challenges, i know you will make me stronger, and more mature to face my life ahead.
Hello 2010. I don't know what's in store for me...what other experiences I may encounter..but I just pray that I will be better, be more brave, be more "out there" for other people:)
A toast to old friendships, and having new ones this new year, too!
