The Year That Was…,Or After Chinese New Year

Cancers are known to be a toughy shell on the outside, but not known to so many people, they are softy softy within. Let me thank the people who have made 2008 unforgettable and meaningful for me.
 
To Tang Benny – I never knew him as being so kind. He is undeniably humbly that. Only in the past months of his tenure as chief executive had I encountered his best self. He is going to be alright. Meg-worry ku pa mo kaya.
 
To Ma’m Nona – Thank you for your warmth and love. You will always be one of my icons, ever so cool.;D
 
To Ty – Thank you for your brilliant ideas, and an ultimate angel in our lives.

To my Marketing family – We may have our shortcomings, but will live it through. Thank you for being my elite family in CDC for almost eleven years now.
 
To more of my Tatangs in CDC – Thank you so much for the love and support. You’re simply the best.

To my very good friends in Clark who are a dear to me, namely, Mr. A, Mr. Hans, Sir Bing, Ms. Cons, Ms. Joyce, Ms. Vera, Ms. Beth, Sir Johnny, Stefano and more – My deep appreciation for your support and thoughtfulness for Clark. We’ve come a long way – through pleasant times and the appalling.

To my dear beer-drinking Team Clark family – Thank you for all the opportunities and fissures we encountered along the way. Especially for standing by me and the captain during the crucial hours of our Singapore pre-departure glitch. Mikit kaming airport chief king C’ Italia, mangomusta ya ot etaya pa kanu pintalan?:D To Billy Dude, please do continue making our days sparkling with your comic deliverables. We appreciate them greatly. Remember TNF? ‘Kala ko nga dala lang ng nerbyus mo ‘yun e. Nagkahangin kaya ako.;)

To Mario and La Greta Burgis – Thank you so much for being always my after-work hours companions in our grocery-shopping endevours. I shall never forget Mario’s thoughtfulness in Suntec Mall, basta!

To Precy and Noel – Thank you so much for being my model husband and wife tandem and ride to our Sunday runs in Clark. Park square ne Jollibee maingate and 7-11 kekatamu ne.
 
To Mustasa – Thank you for being my favorite room mate in Park Royale on Kitchener Road. I so enjoyed Singapore more because of you and our team up with Burgis and Mario in our mall hopping, photo sessions, and food adventures - an astounding success.

To Bap – Inspite and despite of our chronic clashes in moods, angyang magbwisit ku at magbwisit ka man, you have always practiced humility towards me. Thank you so much for untiringly looking after the team, as always.
 
To Atty – Thank you for lending me your bike. ‘Twas so big-hearted of you. I still got to live the short-lived biking experience. Hehe.
 
To Boni – Who have been supportive and patient with me during my early days of riding my bike for the first time around the parade ground after dismissal time and for crying out loud wiggly “Boni, di ko ma-stop ang bike!!!!”, and also for bringing the bike at Arjan to have its dose of maintenance. Di ko forget yun ever, whilst I get all the eye-catching attention.;P
 
To Bespren – Who I’ve generally ignored for the most part of the year, simply because, well, she’s a bestfriend who understands. Hee hee. Funny how most of the time we take our best pals for granted and yet when we go see them finally it is as if no absence of being apart at all ever happened. Makanta ya iy Bebs, angyang eke rugu pakikitan parati at makatuknang ya king gulut mi, she loves me so unconditionally.

To my Circle family – I am very grateful I have you in my life. You are more of dear sisters to me. For all the kulitan, asaran, coolness, quirkiness, to you each am indeed learning. Whoever said The Work is all about the traditionalist, the unadventurous, old-fashioned conservative? Ha ha.

To Auntie Fi – I am still not holy, as am still very naughty and bad. I simply cannot be pious.;) Am a vixen. But am so thankful for your patience, time and guidance. I will be completely lost without you.

To my friends and acquaintances – Thank you, by Jennifer Love.
Op cors, to my own Addams family – I could never ask for another.

I’ve had my share of good and bad. But in general, 2008 had been a blissful year. I am so thankful for all the lessons learned. And anticipating for more. Am a growing lady and still a very much work in progress. To our Bossing Father be the glory.

I am doing what I need to do. I am not bothered by silence. I could sit in the quiet for hours if that is what is demanded. I like to keep things to myself. I love it when it rains. I love peace and quiet. I am drawn to nature. I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on all the good things still in my life. A little each day, a few tears, and that’s all. Very Morris Schwartz. I am bad. A vixen. I still dream to be a barista or pharmacist. I'm just making the most of what I have now.
