The year 2010 for me has been a roller coaster ride. There were times that I felt ecstatic, and then frustrated.
A lot of wonderful and crazy things happened to me this year. I resigned to pursue my first love and that is to become a lawyer. Reviewing for the bar exams was stressful since I also have responsibilities as a mother and wife. And then come September the bar exams ends with a blast. Literally. Hopefully I do not have to take it again. I am a strong person, but that incident somewhat brought trauma to me and my family.
It was the last Sunday. I was barely surviving Legal Ethics (hehehe). With my arms shaking and me being teary-eyed, I wondered if I would come out of the examination room with my sanity still intact. Five minutes before the time, I decided to submit my booklet. I was like a walking zombie, but excited to see my husband and baby who I expected to be waiting for me outside. I can hear the crowd roaring. Then as I was rushing to get out of the comfort room, a big explosion was heard. The ground shook and I just thought it was just firecrackers being fired during the traditional "salubong" so I didn't mind.
Then as I was nearing the gate I sensed that something was wrong. People were crying, shouting and running outside. As I came nearer I saw people in bloody shirts being carried by others. I got scared not for myself thinking that perhaps a frat war exploded and gun fire was being shot everywhere. Then as I asked the guards they told me that an explosion happened right in front of mcdo. Then my heart thumped wildly since it was in that area that I instructed my hubby and daughter to wait for me. I ran as fast as I could, but the crowd just wouldn't let me through. The area was also cordoned off to us so I resorted to climbing over the "wall". As I was nearing mcdo I was praying for my family's safety. Then I saw my husband's worried face, and my baby crying...thank God they were safe! My husband told me that they were late, and in this instance I was grateful that they were!
That whole time, I forgot my bar exams and just thought of my family.
I also got hospitalized and my daughter. I collapsed on the floor with no recollection of how I even got there! Stress really can be treacherous! Hopefully in 2011 nobody in my family will get sick...
This year has also been the year of revelations...Finally, my sister saw some pics of her "husband" that indicated guilt. He still tried to talk his way out of trouble. Well, too late for him! Hahahaha! As far as I am concerned he can make his explanations before the court.
Many people still disappointed me but also came to my aid in time of need.
Come 2011 I pray for wisdom, courage and the determination to always do what is right. I also pray that my family will have enlightenment and more understanding. I pray that my sister will have more sensitivity.
I will always stand for justice. I always have and always will no matter what other people felt about it, even if it was my family I would still stand for what is right and never tolerate their wrongdoing.
This year my husband was promoted, and we were able to have another investment. God is really good to us. I pray that next year I get to be promoted so that my husband will be able to stay and enjoy his vacation a little bit longer.
Most of all, I pray that God give us good health, keep us safe from harm and give us peace...
Happy holidays everyone and enjoy a prosperous new year! Cheers!
