Year Roundup

Making resolutions for next year like other people seems too bizzare for me. Celebrating new year? Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. What I do is to look back. That's it. Sounds simple but when I try to remember, more and more past scenes return. Some to be cherished, some exciting. Others I wished had never happened.

This year I learned the true meaning of family. It took a city flood and a wedding for me to appreciate the 'together time' which I know is going to be more precious since my sis left the house to live with her husband.

I learned to love. Still, giving is still in my blood instead of taking. Gotta get rid off that, just a little bit.

My boss values me more than I know. Well, at least that's what he says in front of OTHER people. And how do I know that? From the OTHERS when I was far far away from my workplace.

Working is something I love. I could love it more hadn't I felt so lost in defining what 'work' is and 'what my job description' is. Not to mention the 'identity crisis'. Gosh! When can someone up there help me and the others who are in our place for the last year?

The sweetest opportunity (more like a God-given present) is a chance to work in a remote place. Away from superiors. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Little access to hipocracy, consumerism, hedonism and endless exposure of pollution of any kind. Learning to love life at its best without interruption (sigh).

Being family has its own downside, too. You've got to learn to take them altogether. That's the hardest lesson I learned. In fact, I am still learning it day by day and not a day smarter I am.

That's my short-listed year roundup. Facts are facts because they are now history. What about next year? On TV, people invite fortune tellers just to find out what's coming their way. Me? I don't believe things until they really happen. Hehehe.

Happy New Year, everyone....
