Welcome 2015!

Just because it's starting to get really noisy everywhere (sign that the year is about to end) let me have a quick stroll on my memory lane of this year. 

I must say it was indeed a roller coaster ride for me, full of ups and downs. Endings and new beginnings. I took some chances and made decisions strongly based on my personal desire. I realized that if I keep getting scared of all the bad possibilities I will be stuck forever. I only had two options, stagnate or move forward. And of course, the choice should be obvious. Set aside the pros and cons and just look straight at the goal ahead. 

It was probably the most liberating experience ever, given a big responsibility of having other people relying on me. I had a lot of things to consider and my decisions will not be for my sole interest.  But at the end of the day, it's really true that your faith should be bigger than your fears. You just have to believe, and I did!

Then I embrace new beginnings. Met new people, be in a different environment, new industry, new time zone (haha!). The thing with new ventures, is that you get to discover something about yourself that will surprise you. You will be caught in circumstances that will lead you to another step to self discovery. Just when I thought I knew myself very well, I would then realize that I don't, yet.  And of course, I am grateful for all the new learnings. 

This year, I've been through great whirlwind of emotions as well. Full of highs and lows. One day I was at my very optimistic self but there are days when I almost think that nothing could possibly turn out right. I had so much pity for myself and I am so wrecked that I feel so hopeless. But as the line goes - "This too shall pass", it surely did! You just gotta be strong enough and have faith that everything will be okay.

Throughout the tough times, I just prayed. Now that everything is getting better, I still pray.  Always, always be grateful for what life has to offer.

And thus, this year will end positively for me. I have to wave goodbye for all the experiences of 2014 and face 2015 with a big smile. As we embark a new beginning, start everything with a stronger faith.

My goal for this year... just make everything about my life so much better! Vague, isn't it? Haha!

Seriously, I am still working on my list. To be honest, still had a lot of things from my 2014 list to be carried over. Sounds like a lot of work, huh.

So...CHEERS TO 2015!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
