Happy new year, everyone! Happy new decade as well.
If I have to choose one word to describe the last day of my '09, I would choose busy! Yup. But if I have to choose one word to describe my year, I wouldn't be able to do it... even more about my decade. Between 2000-2009, I attended middle school, high school, and college. I had three long-term relationships (thinking that 2+ years were long in accordance to my age, lol), still going strong with my third one. I traveled to several places with friends and family in and out of the country via car, plane, and ships, Disneyland being the most popular. I made new friendships, strengthened already built ones, and sadly lost some. I became an aunt three more times, and a God-mother twice more. I got my driver's lincense, car, and two jobs. I volunteered hundreds of hours to local communities and charities, and became part of two ministries. I've had my share of troubles and disappointments, but the good always prevail. I had my first alcoholic drink, went to my first 18+ and 21+ clubs, gambled, but not a puff of smoke. There are a lot more to say, but the most important things are that my faith is stronger, and I learned, learned, and learned.
