2013, the year that was

          As I turn back the pages of time, avalanche of memories come flashing back to me. It was not a roller coaster ride compared to 2012 hence, it was like riding a bus; sometimes there were rough, bumpy, smooth roads and crossroads to take. There was a time when u turn was necessary but going back was not the answer. Eventually, the journey must go on, no matter how unsure the destination was.

         Apparently, there were highs and lows. Workwise, the highs were the product of handwork and perseverance while the lows were the frustrations, disappointments and problems that inevitably transpired. On a personal side, I learned to let go of the things that were not meant to be, learned to accept things without bitterness and to be open minded of the people’s character and behaviour.  Hopelessness was often at the back of my mind in those dreary times and yet a ray of hope was steadfastly burning in my heart. Though you are a “hopeless dream”, I still gladly hold and nurture you in the depths of my heart, come what may.

        As the year ends, I want to thank everybody who become part of my journey for the past year – family, friends, superiors and students, accept my warm gratitude. To those I err and had conflict with in some ways, pls. accept my apologies. As I bade goodbye to 2013, I say “thank you for the lesson leaned and the friends I gained”. Fresh start as I welcome 2014.

         Hello 2014, may you bring us countless blessings and good health. And though tears may be inevitable along the way, please give us ways to smile despite of what may happen. 2014 I welcome you with a BIG BANG! Happy New Year Everyone! GOD BLESS!
