life is what happens in between

Wow! This has been the longest hiatus I’ve ever had in blogging (I keep on saying that every time I post and it seems that I keep on beating the longest time interval in blogging). I’ve been meaning to blog (really really) to put special moments especially when my heart cannot contain some moments anymore as if my insides are going to burst out of my body (seriously, I had too many of those moments this year) but I guess aside from the lack of time, I had the lack of words. Ohmy… emotional constipation! All too many things happening throughout the year, by far it this has been the most drama-magnet year I’ve had. Maybe I’m growing old, maybe life is really getting more complicated, maybe it’s all psychological, maybe it’s none of the above, maybe it’s all.

My next blog was supposed to be my annual year-end post - just a quick recap on what life has been but Jones couldn’t have said it any better - life is what happens in between. Sorta similar to 500 Days line - ‘life is what happens when you are busy making plans”. True! And so far, 2011 has been a real colorful and eventful year unfolding before my eyes both as the best drama-magnet and best blessing-magnet year (because, what’s the point of the climax without the drama?)

I had in mind a real long post to recap things but I guess that would be too dramatic and I’ve had so much drama already for 2011 that I’ve got the quota for next year covered. So what life has happened in between? 

This is the year that I finally earned my MBA degree! Finally the efforts of the last 4 years, sleep-walking mostly, paved off. This is also the year that I left Junathan. I never thought I’d have the guts to do it although I’ve been complaining for some time, because honestly most of the time I still feel very lucky where I was. But I guess big decisions like that also happened in between. It was really tough and at that time it would have been one of the biggest decisions of my life so far. Now though looking back I think I made the right decision. I know I made the right decision. I couldn’t be more thankful to Lord God for granting my heart’s desires - a life of more peace of mind though I remember this is the year when my dad went through a tough operation. I’ve seen though how my mom’s family showed their love and support. It was difficult then but at the same time my heart was flowing with gratitude and warmth seeing them standing by. Sorry iyakin lang talaga ako. This is also the year of the Ipad. Wala lang! Hahaha

I don’t think my blog is still coherent. Haha.. Oh my! The truth of the matter is I wanted to blog to feel good because I had a sudden attack of underachievement over the weekend. But now, I’m wondering why I felt that because I have all the reasons to be thankful for. Lord God, thank You for 2011! Thank you for giving me the greatest loved ones who understand and accept me for what I was, what I am, and what I will ever be. Thank you for the life that is destined to go with a bang with new experiences, new pursuits, new explorations and everything in between.
