Thank you 2008

This article is long overdue. As usual, my schedule was too unkind. I'm actually refraining from posting it, but I'll be too inconsiderate not to return anything for the past good year. As gratitude is the language from the heart, then, let me express mine. It's better to be late than never.

2008 has brought me to lots of realization in my personal and professional life. It’s been a recovery year for me and my other half who had tragic accident in 2007. Everything are turning to be in its best so far. I left my previous mind-daunting job that causes me the biggest headache. I took a long planned career-change made to happen. Completely, I shifted into different job and been part of the best company I had so far. I started to gain quality friends and colleague in and out of the office. I’ve been in series of local travels and enjoyed visiting good places of which Boracay experience was the best thus far (my partner made all these adventures possible). I'm guilty of this stupid thing (blush)- I fell in loved twice this year (hmmn.. somebody will be jealous). This UNTITLED non-stimulating blog was born in the world wide web and I gained inspirations from here (hope to make some improvements). I adopted a native cat from a neighbor who moved next town. The cat kept me fascinated every time I went home. He’s cute and funny.

Of course, not everything went well. I’ve been in trouble in my present office during my starting-stage. Working adjustment in my new career was not that easy. I was consciously and unconsciously criticized by some. My savings didn't improved. Travels were costly. My spending habit been too loose. We missed to acquire the second hand car we eyed to buy- the seller seemed to be undecided up to now. I lost my interest too. My relationship been into test (and I gained it again). During the APE late of 2008 I learned that I have hyperthyroidism and emmetropia OU. Medical terms are threatening sometimes, but believe me, nothing is dreadful about it. It was all stress-related condition which requires minor medication. My mobile phone got sick too before the year ended.

In 2009 some things will about to change. In my book of resolution, top of the list has something to do with finances. I will keep and manage my hard-earned money very well (does it sounds that I have some?…lol) so I can have considerate savings at the end of the year for our family project. Minimize impulse buying. I’ll do better at work and continue impress myself and my company. I want to prove that the decision of changing career was the best choice. I’ll adjust my working time in an early manner so I can have spare time in the afternoon since I have a flexible time. I want to engaged myself into a part-time job (perhaps in the academe again) or get enroll into a short-course program. I’ll keep weekend a family time. I'll be nicer to kids. I will take lots of water instead of soda. Loose weight. I’ll check my garden often.
