The Previous And Current Years of My Life and Counting
I'm really happy right now. I'm really grateful to God for all the blessings He is giving me. I'm really happy for everything, for what I am today because of Him. I learned a lot from this year and the years before. I laughed. I cried. I've been hurt. I loved. I gained and strengthened friendships and bonds I had with my loved ones. I became strong. I realized a lot about myself. I realized what I really want. This year will soon end. A new year will come. I will face another chapter of my life and I want it to be meaningful and productive as before. BUT this time I'll be more mature for next year will be different for I will be getting out of my comfort zone again). I want to grow and get better.
To date:
2008 was when I took my chances on love. I learned how it is to be in a relationship, though it became so complicated. I learned that to love, you have to really make compromises. To love, you must accept the person for who he or she is. If not, it is not true love after all. I realized I'm not yet ready. I still need to get to know myself and know what I really want, and what really matters to me. I tried painting. I also transferred to a new company. I bonded more with my family and friends and realized how blessed I was for having them. I also volunteered to outreach programs. I also tried ice skating and many more. I gained new friends.
2009 was when I started to play badminton again. I continued with painting. I learned how to bake cookies. I also enrolled for a voice lesson. I was also adjusting in my new job. I participated in volunteer programs such as REAP and became active in a Church organization like Legion of Mary. I also had months of reflection on our parish. It was the year for healing and doing what I really love. I also bonded more with my friends and family.
Finally 2010, this year, was when I had my closure with my ex-boyfriend. This is the year when I had more mature decisions. This year was when I thought of ways how to help my family since my father could not work abroad anymore. I joined IMG and learned to invest in mutual funds and build a solid financial foundation. I also got into a freelance project. My contract from my current employers was renewed and I'm now employed as a Sr. Software Engineer under them and so far I love my stay with them for two years. I also learned a lot from work: PHP, Web Services, Authentication, SSO, etc. I also renovated my condo for I'm planning to stay there next year. I also joined the WYD class - hoping to have my Schengen Visa and have my passport renewed next year for the World Youth Day in Madrid. I also bonded more with my friends - Quiz nights, dinners, out of town, road trip, overnight, badminton, movies, etc. I also deepened my faith this year: Bible studies, Legion of Mary, Mass, recollections and more. I got to know new good people and friends. I learned a lot from articles, seminars, books, movies, documentaries and more. I became closer with my family and friends. I enjoyed this year. Facebook also helped a lot for me to get in touch with my old friends, relatives and acquaintances. I also learned how to drive. I also started learning how to cook meals. This is also the year when I got to vote in an election. I also attended reunions, weddings and more. I'm really grateful.
My quote for today:
A lifetime partner may be hard to find but that doesn't mean you have to settle for what's available. For in the end, when that person comes, you can say, it's worth the wait. That person may be your old friend, new friend, acquaintance, ex-lover, enemy, or soon to be friend. Only God knows who he or she is. Only time can tell. Wait. Let go. Don't worry. Trust God for He knows what's best for us.
God bless! :)
