So, here goes my year ender blog!
A lot of things and beautiful memories happened to me in the year 2010. Some of my friends gave birth while others got married. Others went abroad for greener pastures while some are still left behind.
But there were some sad moments too and I took it in a positive way. From my past mistakes, I have learned to stand up and go on with life. Now, I can see myself beaming with so much happiness and gladness in my heart.
Some of the low points in my life..
First off, my brother did not make it but it was a blessing in disguise for he was able to meet new good friends and he was able to assess himself on what really are his goals in life. Prolly the downside of it is he will be left behind and of course, we will be shedding off money again for the application. And these days, we need to save and prioritize the things that are far more important.
Second to that is my brother’s break up with her long time girlfriend whom I already considered as my sister-in-law or part of the family. We had great and fond memories together but I guess some things are just not meant to be. In a way, I am happy to see them grow and mature... apart.
Next year though (year 2011), I want to claim it as my brother’s year. Just gotta believe! Hang on kuya jp, everything’s gonna be alright!
Next would be my parents’ chance to visit U.S. If there’s one wish I have to wish right now, oh well, I guess I’ve been wishing this for the longest time of my life— is to see my parents travel and see the other side of the world for themselves. I want to see them happy but that wish was not granted. It totally broke my heart seeing them so down when in fact all they ever wanted is to see my other brother on his graduation day. The side trips and seeing friends and relatives would have been a bonus. Still, I believe that there will be better chances next time. I love you very much Pa Zee and Ma Fin—you both are the bond that keep our family in a tighter nucleus.
Next would be the two Chinese sharpies who were adopted by a friend of my brother. We have lots of dogs already and having to maintain and sustain their food and nourishment is quite an overwhelming task. With the prices of dog food and vitamins skyrocketing, it is better to have them adopted. That way, they will be given the proper nourishment. Besides, my cousin who used to take care all of them is going to college already. But that doesn’t mean we loved them less than the other dogs that stay behind. They will always be forever in our hearts. And the saddest part of it all is that, it used to be kuya’s dogs with her gf.
Next would be the demise of my mentor’s husband. It made me really sad because I know how much my mentor love her husband and seeing her in pain really wrings my heart.:(
Sad it all may seems to be, but I guess that’s part of life.
Unto my happy moments...
I finally found the love of my life and it came rather unexpectedly. We’re still together and I thank him for his love. I just believe that he is the other match that GOD wants me to meet all along.
Second, I still got a job and I am thankful that I’m partnered with Teacher Tina. I’ve learned so much from her. In fact, her stories and experiences have motivated me to hone my craft. Best of all is that my spiritual side is greatly nourished because of her.
My cousin finally graduated in college! My parents were the ones who sent her to school and for years, we have been helping to pay all her tuition and matriculation fees. It is such a feat to be able to help their family and I treated her and her brother as my own sibs.
My brother also graduated on his M.A.! and I also hope to graduate soon. :)
Happy to see my friends who got married this year! My friend Leny and Jub got married recently . And Zephyr too! Zephyr was the 1st girlfriend of my past love and we became good friends. Ma Fin thinks we are related when she tried to trace her cousins and relatives. She’s on her way to having a baby and I am so excited for her. My cousin-niece, Jerah, also got married. It is very nice to see them walking down the aisle on their white gown, with all of their happy family, friends, relatives witnessing the most significant moment of their lives. Truly and blissfully blessed!

Sheng, my twinsie, also gave birth to a bouncing baby boy named Elijah. And also to Cecile for a healthy baby girl named Fidelis. And to my classmate and good friend Synvel to a handsome baby boy named Third. :) wow! parade of babies...
My sister is doing really well with her career and was awarded recently as NURSE OFTHE YEAR. She finally got her license for Chicago. I am so happy for her accomplishments and I thank her for treating me out for a shopping spree when she has the chance to come and visit and for all the support she has given to me.
Thank GOD for everything. There is still a long list to be thankful of this year and a long list of events to share. For now, these are the important ones that I want to highlight.
got to get some Zzzzzz! :)
