Let's sum up 2008, in a nutshell.
- O levels were over, January to Mid April was major slacking
- Start of poly life in April
- Ups and downs during this whole year, till august semester 1 was over.
- Semester 2 started in september? I slacked a lot compared to the first half.
- November and December was pretty much draining (dad in hospital)
From there, I learn to let go. It doesn't matter if i didn't made true friends. But, i learn a lot from there. At least, i don't have to go through letting go of people and cold shoulders. I don't have to get stuck in between as to who i should go out with. I do not need a wide circle of friends, i do not need hi and bye friends. I need people who love me for who I am and people who would stay by me always. I'm glad God was always there, I find peace and comfort for He has not forsaken me. When I felt like I was all alone, God was there.
Everybody's so superficial, I learn not to trust people so easily anymore. I do not want to be the soft-hearted person always. I learn to stand on my own for what is right. In school, i do not care if you talk behind my back, because I do what is right and I do it for my sake, not yours. I do not care what you are going to say about me. I learn to stand firm. although at times waver. I need confidence.
2008 was really tough, I meet people of all kinds, good or bad they are there. They are there for you to choose whether or not you could trust them, to learn how to get stronger if they pull you down. Be it tears or smiles, life still goes on. You need to learn how to not give up and be a stronger better person. (: and you know God's always there for you.
At that point of time when my dad was in the hospital for a whole month, God was our refuge and our strength. Through the months, He was with us showering us with blessings. Giving us the utmost peace you could never find. Although it was really heart wrenching moments, tearful moments and breaking down. I seek God, that everything would be smooth. In times like this, you feel God, and the family bond closer together. It felt good though. (: I'm glad everything's fine now, with God's grace. I thank God for all He has done for us, bringing us through day by day. I believe He has a better plan. (:
I'm growing older year by year. Each year I tell myself to be stronger, to not cry over nothing. Did i even grow stronger mentally emotionally? definitely not physically, i'm a weakling :D haha hur. Whatever it is, i'm satisfied with what I have, i'm blessed. If i'm going on blogging, it would be forever.
Some stuff I won't be saying here although it's private at the moment. But, i still would not want to type it here even though it would be nice and oh so sweet. (:
Thank you for being there for me.
Happy New Year and Have a Great Year ahead.
Hello 2009.
