Year of the Ox has been not that good year for me. Emotions were at peak. Nonetheless I am still grateful for the experiences I encountered this year. The pains, sorrows and sufferings all contributed to my learnings of growing up. I guess this time I am more mature in handling emotional stressful situations. Learned lessons which were kind of hard for me. Still, I’m thankful to God for surpassing all of these. On the contrary, I met new people and gained new friends who somehow gave me back the smiles and laughters I once lost. I’m still thankful for all those people who stuck up with me through thick and thin. You guys were indeed a very good and real friends. It was also this year that I realized my disconnection with God and reconnected with Him again. I so missed my relationship with Him and I’m glad that despite of the efforts I made which seemed so worthless, I was able to get back to Him.

I know I did hurt some people and I am asking for apologies for that. And there are certain people who caused me so much pain, but nevertheless I learned to forgive them. Indeed, things do happen for a reason. Perhaps to give more meaning and learnings to our lives. People do come and go in our lives leaving us with memories, experiences and lessons to learn.

With the Year of the Tiger 2010, I am looking forward for a positive and better year for me this time.
