2008
| I've been meaning to write my reflections about 2008 for the past days...to no avail...ahahahaha So here's an attempt to summarize 2008...the year that was. I started the year with an impromptu trip to Baguio with Melissa and Melvin, had a nondescript valentine's day, and celebrated one of my best bud's Graduation on March. Second Quarter of the year was rough...just a tad bit (a lot of goodbyes) 1) One of my Best bud left for China (work) 2) A friend's grandmother passed away 3) Learned that I have gallstones -- gave me a 180 degree lifestyle change. I said goodbye to oily foods, meat, pork, fastfood, sweets, sodas...and hello to steamed and grilled chicken and fish July ushered in the Third Quarter with some devastating news --my mom who returned from Oman was diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially it was a shock to us but later, hope sprang eternal. The carcinoma was at its early stage and had a 100% chance of cure. Consequently, my mom's condition brought us spiritually and personally closer to each other, cherishing every moment of togetherness. Everyday was a day to be thankful that we were still together. And as the months eased by, the fears slowly slid away and healing comfort took over. --as for school...everything has taken shape. I am on my way to graduation. --work...was challenging and it was something I turned to for solace. The Last Quarter of the year turned out to be some kind of a reunion for me and my buddies. --it was a time to reconnect with old friends as well as make new friends. --had my share of heartaches as well...hehehehe...learned that I've a dyslexic heart, but I was able to get through and move on with the help of my friends, coffee and spampy. --and i ended the year with another road trip...this time to Ilocos with 2 of my friends. I Had a great time... :D So...that's it I guess...2008. And now...I am ready to embrace 2009 bring it on!!! Happy New Year to all!!! Labels: 2008 |
