Last Post of 2008
Another year about to end, forever lost to the recesses of time; we shall never pass this way again.
And as always, I’m tapping out an entry for posterity before the memories fade away as soon as another page turns. 2008 was above all, about the death of a friend and colleague, Binchy Mayuga: a premature and shocking death at 38 years old. A beautiful person so full of energy, vibrancy and faith that life found him too much to contain. Even 10 months after his passing, I still can’t believe he’s really gone.
2008 marked the continuing story between Mawel and I—my longest relationship thus far I’m proud to say! He was transferred full time to CDO in July after a job promotion and although he gets to fly home only twice a month, true love can indeed withstand any physical distance.
I was able to visit Davao this June for a company event; it was a nice change of scenery and I’m always appreciative of visiting new places.
Major addictions this year include: the Twilight series (not the movie though) & David Cook. And my beautiful new laptop. J I started going to the gym to engage in serious exercise for a healthier (and sexier!) me.
Global economic recession was officially announced this year—the worst since the 1930’s Depression, and we are starting to feel the heat. Our office has suffered in terms of sales performance and had to lay off several workers which is always difficult. We witnessed history in the making when the first-ever black President of the United States was elected, Barack Obama, who represents a new age in America and the world. Even if hard times continue into the next year, we are hoping that he will serve as a beacon of hope.
Resolution in 2009: Save money! (I always make this vow every New Year’s but I’ve yet to do it) Yeah!
So, how did I end the year? On a positive note: being serenaded by my boyfriend with romantic ballads amidst all the fireworks going off in the background. (wink)
Happy New Year everyone! Cheers!
