Midyear!
Can you believe it’s already half way through 2009? I’m still not used to the fact that its 2009, even writing 2008 sometimes in diaries and whatnot. 6 months! how has this year been so far for you? I think…it’s nothing like 2008, but it’s been really good and really hard at the same time. I think the latter part of this statement makes it different from last year. Everything was easy, breezy and beautiful last year. Well, I had some hard moments, but the good just overwhelmed it all that I can barely remember the pain. This year…it’s been trying, a constant test of spiritual vigiliance and practice. I just feel like I’m on trial, not all the time, thank God, but now and then. And it’s always something new, unexpected, and when these things happen, it takes so much out of me and I have to somehow struggle and climb my way back up. It’s hard but I know I’m closer to who God wants me to be, hopefully.
This is typically the time of year where I’m spending my summer where it is…well, perpetually summer. it’s strange not being there. I’ve been blessed to be able to go back every year.
Things are always changing, and I realise that a lot. Especially with 2009.
you know what? same goes for me too – last year was beautiful, the events job, my love life, awesome experience in UB, USA. Yet come this year, it’s different. Not to say it’s not great but it’s just doesnt feel the same ( will elaborate more via email, tonight i promise!). I feel almost exactly like you do, how life throws hurdles at me when I least expect it and it just throws my plans out of the loop. You know what? I said the same thing ” Can you believe it’s already mid-2009″ to MK and my family last wk too, and they ended up laughing at me. hrmph.

ya so true, life really is flying by! we really gotta enjoy every moment of it, even the times when we’re up til 3am writing papers..ahem *state of my life right now* but yaaa, this year has gone by crazy quick..gotta catch my breath! was ur guy’s 2007 year really that insipid and bland? Thats extremely hard for me to believe, lol. Sara there always seems to be something exciting or various opportunities coming up in your life, and from the little u’ve told me of Steph, her life seems very dynamic..always a lot going on. Wow, well we’ll see all that 09 brings in its entirety..ahh, its scary to think of the end of this year, but exciting at the same time!! thanks for posting love=)

imo girl! yea life flies by faster and faster, and maybe, just MAYBE one day we’ll look back and miss paper writing at 3am? probably not though, lol. well yea every year has a lot going on, and with that means a lot of ups and downs. i can’t speak for Steph but for me, 07 had many great moments, i am truly thankful for them, but i went through some stuff too that has left scars and unfortunately when i think back on that year i am automatically conditioned, associating and reminding myself with that.
nonetheless, it always helps when the year comes to a close, coz one can look back and see and understand fully..or sometimes it takes a few years down the road to realise why such things had to happen. but anyways, 2009 has been great, we’re alive and well and God’s blessings and favours are upon us as always =) i can’t complain abt the bumps along the way! thanx for your comment <3

sara – yes. funny isn’t it? how our lives seem to be so similar in its path with each year. likewise, while I cant deny that 2007 had brought about some unforgettable memories and life-long lessons, it however reminded me constantly of some of the ’shit’ that happened. They say time heals, and it does but you know, once the impact is done … it kinda just lingers. btw, do check out http://www.legallyheidi.com if uve the time! i love the way the blogger expresses her thoughts in some of her posts.
imogen – we should totally meet up ( together with sara ) one day. Either u over to Singapore or me over to Canada ( and I know, Sara’s been asking me to head over for ages too! ). Im sure we’ll get along just great
