Life in Orange-Tinted Glasses

i gotta feeling

IT’S OUR CHRISTMAS PARTY TONIGHT!

Oh well, just killing some time before we go. It’s suppose to start at 6pm, but we’re still here in our office. Haha. I’m not really expecting anything, just wanting to have fun especially coz it’s my first! Woohoo.

Hmmm, so the last time I wrote here was October! Ha! Well, Between October and December a lot of things happened. And it’s not just about how many they are, but what they are and how they have affected my life so far. Always, at the end of the day I always contemplate on how blessed I feel for this year. God has given me so much and I wish I could return all those blessings by getting better as a person. I know I sound like a broken record for saying this, but I never tire. It keeps me in perspective whenever petty things affect me and get me all anxious. I’ll be counting down all my blessings in ink at the end of the year, when I make my year-ender list. 

I’m so thrilled for next year! I hope it would be a good year for pursuing dreams. Nyaks cheesiness. Speaking of that, I’ve realized that spotting opportunities is one thing, but seizing that is another. It’s easy to say, ‘oh i wanna do this or that and I’m gonna make it happen.’ But to do it? It entails a lot of things - resources, efforts, time, money (one of the most crucial especially if you’re like me that has just commenced my career). All I got with me now is faith and the determination that I’d be able to seize that opportunity.

And what a year it has been for the Philippines as well! So many things going on, as if all these catastrophes (natural or not) can’t seem to end. I just hope that things will be better next year, particularly the elections. I pray for justice. Peace. Resolutions. End of corruption. Genuine, righteous, selfless leaders. Less tragedies (because of course natural disasters are inevitable). More vigilant and concerned citizens. More giving, less selfish taking. Prosperity of families. Job opportunities. A self-reliant, resilient country and people.

Good things came as well, and I hope they will keep pouring in on 2010!
