Two of my friends have already started to make their year-in-review of how this year went. I can totally agree that it is still 2 and a half more months before we call the year over, but it is indeed a nice practice to stop and reflect how the year went. So now, I'm doing my own year-in-review to the year that was 2010.
It started out big and I think it will end big as well. January of 2010 we finally got a place of our own and moved out from my Kuya's house, where we stayed for almost 9 months. March 2010, it was confirmed that I am expecting our second-child. Fall was spent trying to cope with the discomforts of pregnancy for the first trimester. Quality time was spent as well with my parents. Winter, Alvin got a new job. Finally, he was able to penetrate the mainstream in the field of Mechanical Engineering. After two jobs and 1 year and two months of sacrifice and constant prayers, our prayers were granted. Spring, more casual work for me. Time is also now being spent with Alvin's parents, as they are to spend 5 months with us. Now as the year comes to a close, our second-child, a baby girl this time, will finally be born!
It is still too early to end this blog because a lot of things can still happen in two and a half months. But all in all, it was a good year. There were trying times, but as they say, every trial is an opportunity, and every opportunity is a blessing. I am keeping my hopes up and I am keeping the faith, that this year will end good and that the coming year will be more joyful and blessed (amidst problems and trials and challenges).
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!
May we all be continually be blessed especially in 2011!
