What I Am Thankful For in 2009

  • Well, 2009 had been a really tough year for me. Not the tough­est but, I guess, tough enough that I was down­right anx­ious about how every­thing would turn out. You see, I am cur­rently a fourth year col­lege stu­dent. Some peo­ple said that if you could sur­pass this level, the rest would come as a piece-of-cake.. I’m now half-way there. Yes, I have sur­vived my first semes­ter, which I think was the tough­est one by far. Tough­est because of the many case stud­ies that we were asked to make. There was this case study in the field of Ergonom­ics, Productions/Operations Man­age­ment, et cetera. I guess, almost all our major sub­jects required that. Pretty exhaust­ing, eh? But I still find those very help­ful because, at least, I already have an idea what to do for the The­sis in my fifth year.. As they say, “No pain, no gain.” Yeah, pass­ing all my sub­jects last semes­ter is prob­a­bly one of the best things about this year. Seri­ously, I was in a hanging-by-a-thread state and I really thought that my hand would sud­denly lose it’s grip. That is the rea­son why, after I received my grade, I was very ecsta­tic. I was in total sur­prise. And, yes, that is on top of my things-i-am-thankful-for list :)
  • Also, I am very thank­ful for my fam­ily. For my sis­ter who is always there. You might never know, but we truly share the same heart for almost every­thing. And to my mama and papa who have given me the things that I need rather than what I want. They have shown me how to appre­ci­ate things. But more than that, I want to thank them for all the sup­port and the uncon­di­tional love they have given us, although the road can be pretty rough some­times. Truly, with­out them, I would cease to exist.
  • D’ Hacien­deras. Actu­ally, I don’t know how to put it in words. But one thing’s for sure, my col­lege life wouldn’t be the same with­out them. I couldn’t thank them enough, really. They’re priceless.
  • And, of course, to you. (You know who you are!)… –Thank you for always being there. For being my ulti­mate con­fi­dant and my lover. Thank you for being the shoul­der I could always lean on, for warn­ing (some­times rep­ri­mand­ing) me when­ever I go out of line.. But, I guess, I won’t be see­ing you for a year or so. And you know it really makes me sad.. But, yeah, please come back soon. I’m count­ing the days until I can be with you again.
  • I am also thank­ful for the mate­r­ial things for giv­ing me tem­po­rary enjoy­ment :D Most espe­cially my books for adding dif­fer­ent col­ors to my imag­i­na­tion.. also, to my plan­ner for being my con­stant guide to my day-to-day hap­pen­ings :) And for the com­ing year, 2010, I hope I could get my hands on the new Mole­sk­ine Colour a Month Daily Plan­ner 2010 :) It’s just really awesome!

Please note that there are still many-to-mention things that I am truly grate­ful for. These are just my top 5 :)
Update: Shalee and I went to Grand Con­ven­tion Cen­ter (Asian Hall) this morn­ing to attend a con­fer­ence with Gibo Teodoro :) It was pretty fun. Free snacks and cof­fee lalalove :) And Mr. Teodoro, indeed, is very intel­lec­tual… and tall, may I add. And his son is suu­u­per cute. Lovely kid. Also, his wife. I was, for a moment, in a star-struck mode upon set­ting my eyes on her. She was only wear­ing shirt and jeans, yet she still looked so pretty and all ;)
