Ok, 2010 is just a day away, I'm sitting in my studio apartment, everything is packed. I know my last blog entry was the end of September, so what has been happening? Well I've finished my final project and have passed it smoothly.
As the year is coming to an end, it's time for reflection. I really can't complain about these two years, from getting my scholarship to becoming a Chevening and Hutchison Scholar to passing my MA in Graphic Design at LCC with a distinction. There isn't much I could and will complain. Sure there have been struggles and doubts at times and there were ups and downs. Truth to it all, I can say that I can remember more ups and downs, which is a always a good thing.
The past year living in London has been a blast for me, and doing it with Joie is a blessing I can never forget, and I thank God that he gave me a chance to do it.
I have met many friends here, my classmates and peers, which have become my extended family. The best thing of it all, they all hail from different parts of the world which makes this extended family even more special. I can honestly say having these brothers and sisters come from parts of the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Columbia, Brazil, Ireland, Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, Spain, Italy, etc... not to mention friends who are from London themselves. We have all grown and interacted together for a year and I hope this will continue even though we will be headed to different places. This experience was so unique and special to me, and will definitely cherish every memory of it. It would have not been the same without them, I remember so much laughter and jokes we shared and ,in class, the constant amusement we give each other, for better or worse both positives and negatives. Just loved the whole experience.
So now, what do I look forward to? What are my plans? This I do not know yet, which is scary and exciting at the same moment. For the first time ,in a long time, there are no clear directions or goals to achieve and will discover it as the new year rolls along. I'm sad and hopeful at the same time that this experience is coming to an end as I'm quite excited to see what the future brings.
I'm just crossing my fingers that 2010 will continue to be as good to me as 2008 and 2009 have been to me.
To the many friends that I have met here in London, you all will forever have a special place in my heart. I will never forget you all, and will treasure the laughters we all shared. I thank you for sharing a year of your life with me.
To Joie, honey, it's time to take a new journey and move on, and I feel safe, because I know you will be there with me to share this new adventure of the future.
So 2010!!!! Bring it on!!! Let's rock!!!!
2009, thank you for the memories, I'm going to miss you!!! It's been a great ride, it's been a great year!
