Mid-Year Reflections

I know it's already October pero bakit ba!? Bet ko gumawa ng Mid-Year reflections ko ngayong ika-10th month na. Para maiba lang di ba? Lol.

Kidding aside, this year has been wonderful for me. I remember when I was in the 4th grade (?) I think, my Mom and I was strolling around Megamall when we were intrigued by a stall full of people. Curiously we went near and discovered that was like an astrology and numerology reading stall. During that time, I had a very strong belief in the moon and the stars' alignment so we tried it out. The results were printed out in paper and the descriptions and predictions turned out to be true.

They just based from our birthdays. I remember mine saying that I will be at one point rebellious which later on happened; It also said I had a very strong personality which I believe is true. It also mentioned that number 11 is my lucky number. I did win contests having the number 11. And since it's 2011, I believe that it has strongly proven it's point.

I've had tough years. When we welcomed 2011, I was hopeful. I felt the good vibes. And I prayed for a good year and in the side hoped that this will truly be my year since it has 11 in it.

JANUARY.

Ah. Such good vibes. I was formally employed this month. It's my first REAL job and I'm proud that I worked hard to get this. Of course at this day of age and with our economy, getting a real job just afet graduation and passing the board exams is a big relief. Maiiaahon ko na sa hirap ang pamilya ko, chos! 

Aside from getting a job, I turned another year older. At 22, I'm a college graduate, a Registered Nurse, a staff nurse, and still single (Not that I have anything against early marriage and parenthood).

FEBRUARY.

Workaholic. I was so busy and focused at work. This was also the time I got my first regular salary and spent it for my family. Nothing really biggie but I just felt they were so proud of my achievement. 

MARCH & APRIL.

Career woman. All work and minimal play. I was determined to get where I want.

MAY.

I got an offer at work to attend this seminar. It was an honor to be chosen but I turned it down because of a friend's wedding. I was sad of the missed opportunity but as everyone said, there will be a lot more to come, You just have to wait...

JUNE.

Asthma attack at work. First time to be rushed at the ER but touched when everyone who knew me visited me and asked how I was. 

Late Summer outing with friends at work. Time for some well deserved RnR. 

JULY. 

I requested for a Leave to watch my favorite band Incubus and start a business with my cousins. I finally bought my long time wish- a DSLR and just when things are getting good, comes...

AUGUST.

The opportunity did come and this time, I grabbed it wholeheartedly. I (together with Marie) were tasked to attend a seminar on Infection Control. I thought it was merely a seminar but it was actually more of a training cause we were next in line to becoming the hospital's Infection Control Nurses.

SEPTEMBER.

I was sent again in Manila, ALONE to attend another seminar. I gave my Mom (with the very big help of my Nemo) a birthday treat she had long wished before. 

A few months more before another year but I am very thankful of the blessings showered upon me. Thank you LORD! I am a sinner and not perfect but still, you trusted me and continuously guide me and give me these things. Thank you and I love you!
