as the year comes to an end

as the year comes to an end, it ll mark a new beginning for me soon. i m still overwhelmed by how fast the year started and ended in just another blink of the eye. 2008 has been a roller-coaster year and i wouldnt say that i hate it all.

bitter and sweet, tears and laughter, sweat and sleep, i had it all in just one year. 2008. nicely packaged for me, i m proud to say i m almost to the finishing line. although i did not achieve most of my 2008 resolutions, i m not proud to mention some of the things that i ve done but nevertheless, it s a year that i grew lots.

met many new amazing people, reunited with buddies, rekindled with some loved ones, well, i m overwhelmed with the list of things that happened this year.

as the year comes to an end, i d reflect from time to time what happened.

JANUARY 2008
as i thought i d start anew, things from the past continued to haunt me. men in particular. final sem started. thought i d have an easy time, guess i was wrong. had to slog through final sem.

FEBRUARY 2008
officially turned 24. didnt have a valentine. but it s alright. i ll always have my frens and family to spend it with :) drama performance pressure was on! final sem project! man, was it stressful. a month when i knew exactly who my enemies were.
