everybody is looking forward to the holidays. it means time for family, for gatherings, gift-giving and for pigging out. i have crossed only one name off my christmas list. not that i'm worried. i'm a whiz at last-minute shopping. after all, i am the cramming queen. i have mastered procrastination to an art. but what i am thinking right now is how my year went. after all, eleven months of 2011 has passed by and i wonder what i have done.
naturally, what stands out is that i quit my job. i did that in the middle of the year but it seems like forever. there are days when i regret quitting (like the cash gift and 13th month pay!) but in truth, i don't think i missed out much. i still make good money from my online job and i get to spend more time with the baby and the bf. i definitely am happy to get away from the gossip and rumormongers. but i sometimes miss the food at the office. other than that, i'm perfectly fine.
oh and this year, the bf and i had an accident. it was nothing major on my part, fortunately. but the bf was damaged. he did prove what a trouper he was. no matter how painful it was, he bore the pain. now the accident is a distant memory. in fact, he bikes faster than me today and i didn't break my shoulder bone.
other than that, it's been a good year over all. there were highs and lows, fights and smiles. i got to spend quality time with my family, travelled with the bf, bonded with my baby and had moments with my girlfriends. i will have fun during the holidays. i will not worry about money-or the lack of it, i will eat and exercise to make up for it and i will share what i can to those in need. the new year will come and go and life will go on as usual. what matters is that i have faith and believe that everything happens for a reason. a time will come when life gets challenging but it will also come to pass.
c'est la vie!
