Thank You 2010!

And so, 2010 is coming to an end...

What an amazing year it had been...As we usher the new year, I want to spend some time to remember what happened in 2010 and be grateful for all the good things that filled the year!

When I think about 2010...

1) I thank for parents for being very tolerant with me as I whipped my temper up and down battling with the course I struggled to finish. Most of all, I would like to thank them for their endless support in everything that I do. Thank you for giving me endless shopping trips even when I cannot afford it as a student, for allowances throughout the year, for feeding me, for a roof above my head, for the presents on my birthday and Christmas, and last but not least for the warmth you've provided to make this home truly a home-sweet-home for us.

2) I thank my cousemates who generously share their knowledge with me. Knowledge can be read from materials made readily available. But more than that, the relationship we built with each other, the pillar of support we were for each other as we journey on as students with external practicum and all were priceless and cannot be replaced with anything else. So for that, I thank for coursemates for constantly teaching me to be a better person for myself and for the society.

3) I thank some authority figures/supervisors who were ever so giving throughout the year. Those who saw me as more than what I can be, I sincerely thank you. For believing in me and for grooming me into the student I am today. The journey as a student will never end. If anything, I've learnt to be teachable and be ever grateful for classroom lessons as well as lessons I got from such role models in my life.

4) I thank my friends who took the effort to call and check on me as I survive the year being a poor student. Poor in finances as well as in social life. But you guys constantly brought me back to earth by reminding me that I'm human being afterall and I need friends to keep me sane. For all the extra effort, I thank you.

5) I thank those whom I had privilege to work with for being tolerant of my new skills, and trusted me enough to work with me. Each and everyone of you had helped sharpen my professional skills in diverse areas. For that would like to say a big thank you. 

6) I thank the most important person in my life. I will never be who I am today without your love and your support. 2010 had been great! We proved to each other how much we meant to each other in ways never before seen or experienced. We not only connected as a couple, we shared our families with each other, we exchanged friends, and we continued to be there for each other. Darling, you know how much you mean to me, I thank you for being that special part of my life!

To 2011, welcome and may we celebrate the year with much victory, happiness, joy, and good health!

Back with a friend...


The sweetheart of my life is back! Feels so good to finally see him, and be in his arms again! He didn't come home alone though, he brought me a new friend by the name of Sheepie-Peeshie all the way from Queenstown...He's a adorable round plush, the size of my darling's head, LOL! As I said to him, he didn't need to come home with any gifts for me, all I wanted was to see him face-to-face again and that to me was the most amazing gift ever...priceless! =)

To the end of the most torturous 2 weeks of my life! *cheers*

To Sheepie-Peeshie...welcome to the family! =)

Missing someone...

Last week on the 10th December 2010, I submitted the final piece of work required of me by my postgraduate studies! *phew* There were many reasons why I didn't post an entry then:

1) I was exhasuted physically
2) I was tired of looking at the computer
3) I just wanted to chill and not use any brain juice
4) I went for a body massage
5) I went for manicure and pedicure
6) I went shisha till wee hours in the morning
7) I almost forgot to sleep

I remembered the moment I was able to churn the last word needed to complete my work, my brain just frozen, and my body ached all over!

The next days were spent cleaning out my room, tidying up and organizing my notes from February 2009 to December 2010! I felt terribly guilty knowing I killed so many trees in the process of completing my postgraduate studies! *gasps*

Now I'm just sitting, chilling, relaxing and anticipating the next chapter of my life...



While doing that I'm also missing my boyfriend as he 8721.5 kilometers away from me. This is the first time ever that he's travelled so far and so long eversince we started our relationship. I can't help but think about him every day and night and in between! I knew all along how important he is to me, even before he left for his holidays I was anticipating cloudy days without him by my side. This dull feeling only confirms how much he really means to me, and how I love him so! I have my lucky stars to thank for such an incredible guy who loves me in return. The day before he left for his holidays, he made it a point to spend one hour for every day he'll be away with me. As a result, we had to peel ourselves off our bed early and be glued to each other the whole entire day until it was time for him to go home to prepare for his flight! During these days without him around, I really do feel empty. And so I didn't quite understand when my friend made a remark that "relationships are troublesome!". True that some days we may have small disagreements and what not. But those not-so-good-days are needed to remind us of the better days we share. I've always enjoyed being in a relationship. I love that I have the other person to rely on, to care for, to share, to love. I'm eternally grateful for this funny thing called love. I'm more grateful to love and be loved by the most amazing guy in the world! I love you my sweetheart!

His Sacrifice for Her...

The most beautiful picture was painted before my eyes today. I saw a victim of abuse helping a fellow victim by leaving behind his own needs, hurried to her rescue and got her out of trouble. That sacrificial act to me described the purest of unconditional love. Capturing a moment of love in action is simply breathtakingly amazing! Perfect!
