Wow! It’s the first day of 2009 and here I am typing away my very first entry for the year. Seems like only yesterday when I harboured that joyful anticipation for the dawn of 2008; here I am yet again, looking forward – and still partly excited – as to what 2009 will bring forth. But first, it’s no good looking forward to what lies ahead without having a last glance at 2008 that was.
The last 365 days has been full of revelations and realizations, that’s why I fondly call 2008 as my Year of Realizations – realizations over the things that I really deserve and what I have to give in return to be truly happy; the people who have walked in and out of my life, and how some unfortunate events could actually shed light to their true colors and intent; that it’s never enough to wanna do something and achieve a particular goal – you have to get off that freakin’ couch and actually DO something; that I could actually get out of my comfort zone and up the ante in managing my career; that there are some things far more important than wheels and blings when it comes to truly knowing a person of the opposite sex; that I am very lucky to have belonged to the family I am with now; that I have been blessed with so much to be thankful for. I guess has been a VERY GOOD year after all.
Ahh, yes! The spirit of new-ness is in the air. It’s as comforting as the aroma of paper when you open a new book for the first time; a new leaf. A new chapter. As for resolutions, well, I haven’t really any in particular lest I’d fail to keep it as early as the first quarter of the coming year. Besides, it’s that part of me which I usually keep to myself – a bit too personal, if I may say. But let me share to all of you this much – from now on, I’m looking at life from a more serious perspective. The lessons learned during the previous year have taught me that there are far more to life and in the future than to waste my time on trivialities of youth. (Ang lalim ba? Haha!) Let’s just put it this way: 2009 is going to be the year when I really start thinking about the future and actually doing something to realize my long-term plans. But that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna cut myself some slack. I’m gonna take it one step at a time, but each step will be a stride. I’m gonna need all the luck I could get, but I’m hopeful as I have been when 2008 dawned on the world exactly a year ago. After all, hope is one good, if not the best, reason to live for.
Happy New Year everyone!
