2009 had been a year of many ups and downs for me… nonetheless, I feel blessed. Being with the family I love and seeing them healthy and happy are reasons enough for me to feel enormous gratitude. Before I close this chapter of my life I thought of doing a flashback of the significant happenings I’ve has this past year… In a sense, this activity gave closure to the aches that I’ve had- urging me to move forward and pursue better and greater endeavors. It has also brought forth a sense of inspiration and optimism. Yes, I believe that 2010 is going to be heaven sent for me and my family… So, here it is, in no particular order, my simple rundown of 2009.
My Resignation from BWS
It was not easy for me to quit the job I’ve had for 7 years. It was painful and scary. However, I have learned that God is good for he did not leave me destitute. For whatever amount I lost, it has been compensated with more time spent with my kids. That alone is priceless.
I lost my Aveo
This may appear trivial to some but for us, this brought monumental agony. We lost the car by the time it was fully paid… Just as we are enjoying freedom from monthly amortizations, the car succumbed to a lethal crash. However, I am still glad because the car did not take my husband’s life with it. We are still complete and ready to re-build what we have lost.
My Bag Collection
This year, I was finally able to save enough money to afford a Louis Vuitton. I now have in my possession a simple collection of a newbie baghag… Though not financially wise, it gives me a feeling of insane contentment. I am now eying to buy my 3rd LV…
My Ebay Addiction
Coining it as an addiction is based on the perspective of other people. My intention was for me to get the best at an affordable cost. I am now learning to be wiser… bidding only on items that I really need.
Singapore Trip
Singapore has been a glorious place! More so, having to go on this trip with my husband even made it more special. Would love to visit this place again…
Unleashing the Blogger in Me
2009 has been the height of my blogging career. At one point, I even considered giving everything up and focusing all my energy into blogging. Due to financial and rational considerations, I decided to maintain my day job and continue writing for pleasure.
Paulo’s Car Accident
Incidents such as this can bring about profound realizations in us. It makes us more spiritual and grateful. It makes us appreciate life as a whole. Life is a gift that was lent to us. In return, we should accord it with the care and nurturing that it deserves.
For now, this is a partial list of some unforgettable events of my 2009 existence. I plan to add more in the coming days…
Ciao and Happy New Year to everybody!
In the beginning, there was a Pencil Maker who spoke to a Pencil, saying,
“Is it full?” is a popular science experiment that we do to enrich our discussions about the concept of full or empty. For this activity, the teacher usually prepares a glass, some pebbles, sand, and water. As the different items are poured into the glass, the students are asked if the glass is full. Usually, they would say ‘yes’, then end up being amazed because the glass apparently is not full as other items such as the sand and water can still fit inside.
