Magnificent 2008

Year 2008 will be over in less than 2 days. This year was truly a magnificent year for me. Tons of tears were shed, lots of lesson learned, I met new friends, rediscover old friends, get to know myself more, build my confidence more, still failed with my weight reduce mission, learned to eat and enjoy food which makes me throw up before and so much more. I’m not sure if it was the age but lately I realized I get easily pissed off if things went wrong. I got my Chicken Soup for the Soul books – 4 Books. This year I was able to be in three countries. Cambodia, where I am working right now. Philippines, when I had my vacation leave last July. Vietnam, when I visited it last November during Water Festival holiday. For the year 2008, I think I missed going to Saturday or Sunday Catholic Mass less than 5 times only though I badly missed going to Church during the Lenten season. So many things were done and so many things happened. I am getting use to be away from my family. I love them so much and miss them always. Wish I am with them in special occasions but I love the freedom of being alone. I love to explore life independently. I love to realize things by myself right now. My parents were great and they gave everything but there are times I feel I am suffocated with their protection. Embarrassing to admit but on my 29th year on this earth, is the only year in my life I did it my (with tons of prayers) way. I was so fortunate that I came from family who had a strong Catholic life upbringing. Though I am away from my family, I know my responsibility towards my family, towards others and towards God of course.

I love 2008 and I thank God for all the guidance and blessings showered on me this year. To sum it up, year 2008 was a great year for me.
