In retrospect

It’s New Year’s Eve. Last night, Don, Jeremiah, and I were up talking about the things that happened to us all throughout 2008. During the discussion, Don said that he didn’t want the year to end yet, because he felt he didn’t accomplish much this year.

While I feel that I could have done more this year, I have to say that in my case, 2008 was a year full of change. Here are a few examples.

  • 2008 was the year that I graduated. I was finally sent out into the real world, and I finally learned the art of penny pinching.
  • I got my first job, and hated it.
  • Quit my job, and got a new one. One which gave me more freedom.
  • Spiritually speaking, I think I’ve grown a bit this year. Not as much as I would have liked, but I’ve gotten more involved in church activities.
  • More freedom – from my parents. They’ve always been strict, but they’ve loosened up a bit, especially after graduation. Although, understandably, there are still a few rules I need to follow if I’m going to remain under their roof.

There are still a lot more, but I think if I listed them all, I’d just go on and on.

I normally don’t make New Year’s resolutions, since I inevitably end up breaking them. I just hope that 2009 becomes a pleasant adventure, like how 2008 was.

11 hours until the New Year. :) I hope everyone has fun. :) Oh, is anyone interested in getting a tuxedo?

  1. Wow grumaduate ka na pala. An uber late congrats. Seems I missed a lot since I became less active in the blogosphere. (If you don’t remember me, I knew you back when you were at stopcrashgo.com)

    Anyway, happy new year. :)

  2. I feel the same way as your friend. I haven’t accomplished much for this year. It seems as though you have learned quite a few things. Change is always good. :-) I don’t make New Year’s resolutions for the same reason. Happy New Year. Hope you have a good one. =)

  3. Not many people seem to have had a good 2008, so it’s nice to come across someone who has! It sounds like a lot of good change has happened for you this year :)

    Happy new year!
