New Year

In a few hours, I will be saying goodbye to 2011. And yes, this was one hell of a year for me from January until  about the 2nd week of December. Hah! Well at least, looking at the bright side, the last 2 weeks of this year kinda made me forget the hardships and gave me hope again.

If I am asked  to describe my 2011 in one word, I'd say BROKEN. In 2011, I've suffered a broken heart; a broken friendship and broken working relationship with my boss.

It was really hard for me this year. And I am really hoping that 2012 will be different. Since I am part Chinese, I observe certain traditions which I believe will help usher in a brighter year for me. Also, the Chinese in me doesn't fully recognize January 01, 2012 as the start of my new year and good luck. In a way, I observe two New Year celebrations (one on January 01 and the other one is the Chinese new year based on the lunar calendar) every year. Kinda confusing? Not really.

Before 2011 comes to an end and I leave all the bad things that has happened to me, I'd like to acknowledge that there were good things that did happen to me. For my loyal and ever sincere circle of friends (you know who you are), for the love you have extended, not just for me, but for my Mom as well, thank you. For being there all ways, all the time.

For my family, especially my Mom, who I know is always there for me, thank you for constantly remembering me and worrying about me.

To Chad, who undeniably makes me happy these days and has given me a new hope in finding a man who is sincere and trustworthy. You make me excited thinking about the future and the challenges that lie ahead. For now, I shall continue to pray for us and try to journey with you the best that I know how.

And most of all, to my Papa God, who I know has never failed to watch over me. Thank You for 2011, no matter how challenging  and painful it was. Thank You for making me happy the last 2 weeks of it and I really pray that this time, this is really it. We have so much to work on as a couple and as individuals, and You know that in my heart, I am contented. I have not asked You "Why him?" because I believe that You have your own reasons for bringing him into my life. Thank You Papa God for everything. Amen!

Happy New Year everyone and I claim God's blessings for each and everyone of you!
