March: YZ was baptized... at dumating sa buhay namin si manang... si manang na adik maglaba (as in, yung hinubad kong damit sa umaga ay makikita ko na uli sa cabinet ko pagdating ko sa gabi, kasi nalabhan na niya... adik di ba?)

December: chaos, truths, half-truths, buti na lang, God sent me His angels... lobit, debbie and izel... love you mga marz!

Year 2008 was a chaotic year for me, my hubby and my family. We had a lot of decisions to make. We took risks this year too. This year, my comfort bubble was burst by people who have betrayed my no-questions-asked trust and I found it hard to forgive. But then again, as my sister said, sometimes, I have to look at these people kung bakit nila nagawa sa family namin ang mga bagay na iyon for years now. Sometimes, dapat palawakin pa rin ang pang-unawa sa mga bagay-bagay na ito. Minsan, mas kailangan nila ang panalangin para maunawaan nila ang tama at mali, para sa susunod, alam na nilang hindi sila dapat gumawa ng mali. Hay, kung may multiply lang sila anoh? :-)

This year, I got hurt but then again, I feel God gave me this situation to make me grow and to make me value more the blessings He has given to me. It is not all about me. The world does not revolve around me. And hopefully, soon, things will be normal again and you and I can become friends this time. :-)

Forgive me dear friends if I haven't been much of a caring and thoughtful and loving friend to you. I'm a work in progress and soon, I will learn to be such kind of a person.

This year, I learned that I need to be strong in my faith in God, to be faithful in my commitments to God, and to be Christ-like in every aspect of my life.

Favorite quote this year:

Pagpalain kayo ng Panginoon, palakasin nawa Niya ang inyong pananampalataya, pasayahin sa pag-asa at pakilusin sa pag-ibig... Sa ngalan ng Ama, Anak at Espiritu Santo... AMEN!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! GOD BLESS TO ALL!
