Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I heard mass last night with my family. Our priest goes, “It has been a year of tragedies, pains, and heartaches. It’s time to let it all go and move on.” And as I look back, I came to realize what painful things I went through this year.

I welcomed 2010 with full of hope and faith. But along the way, someone broke my heart and made me lose faith because he was a big asshole. I found love again from an old flame only to realize we had to end it because it cannot be. I had some fights with dad. I had to go through something at work. I had a big misunderstanding with my friends. What a year. All the pains and tears I shed, I cannot believe I’m still standing. And the priest continues, “It was faith that helped you make it through.” It was faith in God, indeed.

“Let us not forget to thank God for all the good things that happened in 2010.” Despite everything I went through, I also realized the good things I have to be thankful for. My biggest achievement for the year, graduating from college; my friends who continue to look out for me whenever I tend to do stupid things; my mom and the whole family who has been really supportive; my new job at a very good company and my upgrade thanks to my bosses; my new found friends; my Franco who brought me through places; and my new found love who made the last 3 months of 2010 amazing. ♥ Thank you, God!

2011, please be AWESOME, please be kind!

Happy New year!
