The year that was!

I'll be celebrating the end of 2007 much like the way I began it, partying in makati and spending the night in Ascot. But unlike in years past, 2007 was in my 24 years of existence, the most meaningful yet in my life. I will just look back at some of the turning points of the year.

1. Transferring to Ateneo de Davao and meeting new friends.

I am a firm believer of the adage "A door closes, a window opens." The summer of 2007 left me once again at the crossroads. This time Ateneo de Manila Law School didn't want me. I thought, the quarter life crisis that I experienced the past two years will still find no resolution. I took a leap of faith in this one. I uprooted myself to a different school and a different city. With that came apprehension. Questions like how will i fit in or how am i gonna survive come into my head. So far so good, it has been awesome. I met new friends. I am coping up with school and I am having fun. 

2. Finding a job

I am able to find work on my own in a law firm. With it, I already have a deeper understanding of the profession I am about (hopefully) entering into. I am grateful eternally to my bosses Atty. Geraldine Tiu, Atty. Gary Teves, and the third girl, Atty. Jenny Ramos for allowing me into their firm. You guys will always have a special place in my heart.

3. The lessons learned in other two items.

Everything else, 2007 marked in my renewed passion for life. It made me see things in a new different light. Dad said that you're aura changed. I think it is because of the change of atmosphere. Leaving out of the house makes a person more of an adult.

Finally,

I don't expect 2008 to be smooth sailing but with the lessons learned in the past year, I am confident that with God's grace, I will overcome obstacles and continue my quest to be a better person.

Cheers! and Happy New Year to everyone!
