Rearranging my 2009

In preparation for the coming new year, I decided to change things up a little bit. This year was full of ups and downs. What a way to begin 2009. A few months full of crap, all because of a certain someone. But I didn’t want to look at things in a negative way. I decided I would make the best out of what happened. I moved on. It got rough for a few months but I weathered it thanks to my girlfriend who always stood by me through the hard times. (believe me it got rough!)

Fast forward a few months later, I am where I am now. I’ve taken up blogging again since it is directly connected to my work. I’ve met some great new people. It was a bit tough for a few months since Pat (yes that’s my girlfriends name) and I’s relationship was a bit rocky but we got through it, and I believe we are stronger than ever. We are going on 3 years now and its been an awesome 3 years. I’m looking forward to spending more years with her. Work was better. I was able to find something I am passionate at, and apparently good at. When I started, I had zero knowledge about this thing. I didn’t know what CTR, CPM, mCPM, and all these little acronyms and now well, look where we are at. I was able to go to Singapore, Malaysia, and Subic all in a span of 5 months. God has indeed been good. I now believe that God does not give us trials we cannot overcome. Maybe he gives trials we cannot overcome by ourselves, but with Him impossible is nothing. (Yes I had to throw in the Adidas tagline since they are my clients!)

I’ve come to a point where my outlook has been changed so much in a span of one year that I know now I am a very different person as to when I started this year out. I was bitter and proud young man January 2009. I didn’t want to accept that with my arrogance came certain consequences. But it did. Life slapped me across the face so bad it sent me reeling for the ropes. I was down for the count, but through sheer heart and prayer, and a strong corner and coach, I got up again. Now I am humbled. I accept certain limitations, and who I am. I am thankful for everything and everyone who I came across through my journey called life.

I have never re-arranged my room on my own. I always had someone do it for me, or had the help do it on their own with my mom. This month, I decided to change things up. I took the initiative to fix my room. I saw it as a transformation. I saw it as an opportunity to physically declared my emancipation from that which binds me to the past and look forward to the future.

Thank you 2009.
