It’s raining outside, but still the fireworks persists… just about how the rest of 2008 was for us… a healthy heaping of challenges that we rise up to.

An hour before 2008 gives way to 2009…i’m looking back, and feeling grateful.

Walang major upheaval sa buhay ko this year. Steady lang. If anything nga, there’s a lot more to be thankful for, than to be sorry about.

This year mas naging close ako to the rest of the family.

This year the Sven and Gbo Show debuted and looking for year 2! Yey.

This year i accepted responsibilities that i have been avoiding before. I thank those who trusted my abilities and i’m i didnt let them down.

This year i’m thankful for newfound friends. As some friendships goes on hiatus, im glad that i’ve met people who fills the void.

This year i got to indulge in stuffs i love. Pagbablog, writing stuff beyond what ny job requires. I got to read again.  I got into music again. I got into theater thanks to Gbo’s prodding.

This year i move on. 2007 was quite emotional for me, marked by major loses. 2008 must be healing because as i write this, thinking of some people’s names, no strong emotions rise. Wala lang. Hinahawi lang. Moving on lang.

And right now, looking back, one song strikes a chord. From a musical that seems to reverberate thru my life in portions…

Looking back, the low points of 2008 were made bearable knowing they would only pass… and the high points, more cherished because the would do the same. Fleeting. For the moment. For now.

And for now, as i’m surrounded by people who love me best… those right besidess me now, and those i know hold me in their hearts, i sit content. Let 2009 take care of itself. I will enjoy Now, for now.
