So 2009 has come and gone and we're halfway thru February and I haven't written my usual year-end post yet. I've been spending a lot more time in my other blog, in Tumblr (sorry blogger) which is why I've been putting it off.
Here we go.
I loved 2009 for making me realize that I can make my dreams my come true. I've gone to the US and set foot in New York, the place I've been wanting to go to since I first got my passport. The vacation was a dream come true and it was made more memorable because my friend Zaza was a gracious host and was the best tour guide ever. She took me everywhere and made sure I had my picture taken on all the famous landmarks. I also enjoyed those days I was alone and discovering Manhattan by myself, walking miles and miles and never getting tired, just stopping to eat at the nearest resto/deli/park I see. Plus, during the time I was there I get to hang-out with my visiting friends from Virginia, JJ and Nidjan. It was the best vacation ever.
Work-wise, nothing still beats the crazy long-hours I put in last 2008. Although 2009 was still crazy especially during the last quarter. I'm used to it now and working late has become a habit. Last year though there were more good times: more night outs and a lot of new restaurants discovered. More travels too. I've been to Palawan 3 times this year, and to 2 countries.
2009 was a good year. I had a lot of fun and I like the fact that I still learn something new about myself.
2010 started out not so-good but it's picking up. I've a feeling this year will be equally good, if not better.
