2009 was and is a bittersweet but blessed year for me.

I started to like back and became great at what I am doing. My Switching Station Project had reached 98% completion and is expected to be finished within January next month, something that I am looking forward at. Finished the academic requirements of my MBA, now only awaiting an exam. Did lots of things that I wanted to do. Re tooled myself, studied a lot, learned a lot. Got a house. Got a car. Did the things that I used to imagine when I was still a child. Learned to count my blessings. Met my soul mate. Met my real Samus Aran.

Amidst it all. Spent sleepless nights studying, wondering. Countless minute discussing, debating, arguing with my bosses, colleagues and contractors. Disappointed, frustrated. Betrayed, rejected, ego bruised, heart broken.

But it would take more than that to slow down a ninja ;-)

thank you Lord!!!

yeah. what a year indeed!
Til next time. Next year, next decade.
Happy New Year To You All!!!

focus and study

MABUHAY!!!

You did ur best but u guess ur wasn't good enough....But the other's guess u have been very blessed... Lucky r u bcoz u r not beset by all means of temptation....Or else this things that u have right now will have no meaning... I have known u in just while especially when u became the real cultural show master in town........ Please have it done annually, Im gonna miss those thing...... Just do exactly what ur heart tells u to do...By doing this i'm sure u will become what u expect urself in the future since u have a pure and kind heart...
