MY UNIVERSE

 

My last post for 2009. This year was a roller coaster ride for me. The first quarter was a thrilling ride. New responsibilities, I was like a kid who was trying to walk. Trying a brand new start after I was introduced to a whole new world. It was a bit of struggle, I was starting from scratch.  Not to mention the time when a part of my life fell apart. I had to reconstruct and build new circle of friends.

The second and third quarter were those times when I was trying to get by. New people met, new places seen. This part of '09 was unforgettable. I've been to some new places. I went to these places  with some old friends, other places with my new friends. And just when I thought that everything was falling into place, what I tried to build was taken away from me. This was the time when I had all the negativities. I felt like everything I worked hard for was thrown into trash. This was the time when I learned that the people that I learned to trust were betraying me. This was the time when I admitted to myself that these kinds of people really do exist, that I shouldn't expect all the people to be nice to you just because you're nice to them. You can't just please everyone so just let it be. But somehow I was happy. Another year was added to my life. I saw my old friends, and some of the new ones were also there. My family was there, and I celebrated my 23rd with a blast.

The 4th quarter of 2009 was my favorite. This was the time of reflection. This was the time when I swallowed the reality pill. This was the time when I had the explanation to why the negative things happened: It happened becauseI wasn't grateful, it was very very wrong to be in that kind of state. Good thing I was able to pull myself together. This was the time when my Wake Up Call was finally revealed to me. I met new people. People who believed in me. People who made me realize my full potential as a person. Finally, I know which direction to take that I can say to myself that I have a blueprint of what will happen to me this coming year. I am excited of what is bound to happen. It is clear in my head, 2010 is my year!

Let's all say goodbye to 2009 with gratefulness to the things that it taught us. Though some not so very nice things happened to our country, though some of the great people left, the lessons learned shall always be remembered. Let it all be our guide on our journey to the coming year.
