-- my first car accident
-- graduated college!
-- learned how to laugh a lot, a lot.
-- enjoyed my alone times at tea 'n more while drinking black tea and journaling and thinking. sounds a bit emo, huh? haha well, it's not!! :P
-- first time falling in love with God. since then, my walk with Him has been so freakin' awesome :)
-- the end of serving as a dt leader. this actually makes me really, really sad.
-- my mom slightly thought i was gay. i reassured her that i'm not.
-- post-college "depression"
-- decided on becoming a CPA
-- first time taking delight in my trials and tribulations because i know God presents these struggles to help us grow and strengthen our faith in Him.
-- first time helping my aunts with thanksgiving and christmas dinner. that's probably the best thing about the 2 holidays this year. oh, and family bonding was quite special this year ♥
-- many, many oprah moments with people i never expected to share deep conversations with, and about taboo topics that i never expected to discuss
-- making new friends, strengthening friendships, losing friends
-- my first 5hr43min phone call
-- learned more about myself: i ask a lot of questions, i squeal when i'm excited and my voice becomes higher and higher, and i make funny/weird noises when i'm struggling with what i want to say and during random/silent moments while talking to a friend.
-- i'm in a relationship. on facebook. with a girl. and i'm the husband. hahaha no wonder my mom slightly thought i was gay!! ahaha just kidding!
i can probably go on and on with my list... but i won't. the main thing i've learned this year is that i'm young. i'm not saying that i'm young just because of my age, but the way i think is very childlike. the final months of 2009 have shown me how my views on certain matters have been seen through the eyes of a child. i really thought that i was pretty mature and ready to face the real world. but God greatly humbled me and pretty much slapped my face. my childlike attitude on friendships and relationships have been greatly altered and during the last days of this year, i'm learning how i need to grow up. or, well, God has presented challenges in my life to make me grow up. it's been hard, but i know that i can't pretend to be a little girl anymore. but man, truth hurts, and reality is quite scary. but the scariest thing of all is that the older i become, i'll be facing more of the real world and there won't be anyone to shelter me from it. i guess this is what it means to be putting my 100% trust in God.
i predict that 2010 for me will be stressful and painful. i'm kind of excited to start my cpa studies since i'll finally be taking my first leap into my future career. however, i'm going to get OWNED. therefore, i must study, study, study!!!~ eeek. anyways.
happy new year!! i hope your 2010 will be full of many blessings and happy moments!! :)
