Goodbye 2009 ... Hello 2010 ...

Time flies by so fast. The next thing you know, it's another year already (waahhh!). It's too bad that it moves so fast when we haven't yet finished enjoying the year before it :( There were a lot of good and bad memories I have in 2009. I'm happy I went through all of it because they help me change in a positive way :) I just would like to share the things that went through my life last year. I got this idea from my friend's blog, Romeo, and I like it.

Looking back at the past, made me realized that there were a lot of things that happened to me on the year of the Ox. A lot of blessings came, challenges and trials that push me, events that mark not only in me but to others as well, a lot of first times. These help me grow to a better person and definitely there will be a lot more to anticipate in the year of the Tiger. I'm pretty sure the events that will come my way this year will make me even more better :) My learning doesn't stop there. It will go on and on and on. Every year has a new piece to learn, a new beginning to ponder, a new skill to discover and develop. I know God has installed an exciting year not only for me but for all of us :) God is good! (all the time!)

So how was year 2009 to you guys? Any expectation in 2010?

Take care guys :)
