A Year-End Post

Before I got run out of chance to use the net because tomorrow I'm sure that DSL will be disconnected, I will savor this moment to post my year-end update.

I have been doing this for a while. My post usually consist of my new year's resolution which end up not getting fulfilled. :D

I am not listing any new year's resolution anymore by now. I just want to keep it simple. Just simple wishes from myself and from my loved ones- family, friends etc. I wish them all the best this year, peace reigning within them and just all-around love this 2009! As for me, I wish that I will be more responsible, a very productive, rational person. No more long list of "things-to-change", coz it all ends up to nothing.

2008 has been the hardest year in my life, so far. I have been driven to different phases of emotional hype. In this year, that I have experienced that greatest failure, pure happiness and almost everything mixed up, there are times that I feel nothing at all! Like I said, I am not here to list my resolutions, rather I am here to jot down the major highlights in my life this 2008. Anyway, as soon as 2009 knocks on the door, all those past memories whether good or bad will be just history.

1. My baby sister. I have a post about my bitterness having my mom got pregnant. I was totally dumb-founded when I knew that I will still have a baby sister. But everything just slip out when I saw how beautiful and adoring my sister is. She's like an angel from heaven, God sent. The feeling was unfathomable the first time I saw her, it's like angels from heaven began singing and you feel this perfect bliss like you don't want anything at all.

2. The whole U.P. thing. Now this is a major, major "mishap" for me this 2008. Nothing more to say, nothing more to say.

3. Masci Graduation. Graduating from my beloved alma mater is one of my greatest and proudest moment of my life. Remembering Masci brings back so many precious memories
sharing it with my best of friends for life. The frenzy, the pressure and the experience I have long endured during my stay proves worthy in the end. I have been able to apply everything that I have learned from this "institution" from academic learnings to everything actually under the sun. I have met great people here and I am sure missing them so much.

4. My role in serving God. I have been appointed to be one of the pianist/organist in our church, which gives me the greatest blessing of all. Though, I am hesitant for a while because I think my age doesn't fit this huge responsibility, God provided me with strength that gives me faith to do it.

5. Everything. From good grades to understanding parents. From mistakes to successes. From failures to triumphs. I gain a lot from all of them.

Saying goodbye to 2008 is quite hard but yet exciting. Hard, because you're uncertain of what will happen next, no idea how many trials to fight, cries and sorrow to endure but at the same time excited, because another year that you will be with your most beloved loved ones and another year to correct and straighten all of your mistakes from the past.

So let's delight, celebrate and embrace 2009 with our family and friends!

Cheers everyone! Be safe! Happy New Year!
