Welcome 2010! Cheers! :D

Hi peeps again,![]() ![]() I just can't believe it that 2009 is ending. So fast. I just couldn't feel that speed. It's like we are all in a dream and we just woke up by a pinch. OUCH!It's the new year! Somehow, finally, falling off from the bed, I just realized that 2010 is coming within a few hours. And all should know that time will not wait for men. Time is so precious that if you miss a step you can never go back to mend your wrong doings. We need to be alert at all times, not to just do the right thing but mean it with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. No worries, when you realized, you need to quickly pace your steps and move on! I think 2009 has been a pretty good year for me. Thank you, 2009. Thank you all who have been upholding me in my studies, my work, my health, my life and my all. Thank you! I know that part of me, I've became stronger, a little more intelligent, a little more caring and probably more observant to the people around me. I came out from that little hole of mine and took that small little step of faith to see how the world really looks like. Truth is that the world is UGLY by itself. But... UGLY in a uniquely awesome way... (Mixture of so many different types of candies, chocolates, colours and smell.) I'm inspired by this Author, Mitch Albom. He writes off such great articles and books that are real and reflects life. Tuesday with Morrie is one of my favourite. And this story which I'm going to reveal in another few sentences are somewhat related to life and that book itself. ![]() As I've said, Time flies. I'm all grown up. I can say that, i guess... ;P A few days back, My parents and I visited a very old teacher who has impacted my life in a tremendous way. She is already 80 years old today. I was so fearful to even listen to her name last time during my childhood. She might be really stern, prim and proper but her heart is good. Every night as I closed my eyes to sleep during my younger days, I might get nightmares of her. She is my English teacher, my kindergarden headmistress. I can still remember her piles of homework that she bestowed unto me. It's funny to have feelings like that towards her before. Despite all, I love her. I respect and I admire her. As I've written, she is already 80 years old. She is already not young at all. She went through operations and had many health problems. She is still human. She does complain about all these problems her body are giving her. Guess what, she's still looking forward each and everyday to see how the Lord can bless her with. All she ever want at this age is friendship, companionship. She kept reminding me these. "Joyce, you need to live your life. You need to enjoy it. You need to know what you're doing about it and not dump it into the deep blue sea. Be happy with what you have and continue to bless people. Look at me. I might be old. I can't really walk. But, if i ever get the chance to do that again, I would go all around and experience the world. Taste the world. Smell the world. Most importantly, Live! Be grateful. Somewhat in life, we will go through all sort of things. I've been through so many things, so much more than you. I know a lot of things and I'm really happy for you. I'm glad to see you here." When she said these, she almost made me tear. My heart was grabbing my bones. It made me shiver. "You know, when you're 80, you look at things differently. You don't care much about what the world is doing anymore. The only thing that's running in your head is your loved ones, friends and family. You wish everybody will be there with you, accompanying you everyday. I will spend my days to share all that I've been through before and let these words of wisdom and experience live in their hearts. I'll be content. Sometimes, I do ask God, why do you still keep me here? I don't think I'm that useful anymore. Well, you wouldn't know what God wants you to do the next moment or how He would bless you the next day. Everyday, I can't wait to get up and spend my time with Him. You think I read a lot. But every time you reread the passage, the story, it tells of different things. It touches you in an extraordinary way. So, Joyce... You need to continue to experience Him and do not let Him go. When you go out there, you will know that He is real." A heart like me, would definitely run to a corner and blast my tears... I was grabbing my pants, telling myself not to weep. Basically, that was what happened in her place. I got a feeling that that was my last day with her. The next time I see her, it would be in heaven. :) I will accept 2010 and hope that it will be a great year and it will be definitely challenging year for me as I'll be alone in a foreign land. I know I have friends there. But, my family is here. Alright! filled with new rays of hope, joy, peace, and love. :) :) :) :) :) I Heart All Of You! Semper Fedelis JayTee |
