IN A NUTSHELL
Wow. The year just sort of whizzed by. After pushing out MBA for three years, I was finally able to start school and finished three full terms. Met lots of wonderful friends. Grieving over old love, then finally getting over. Lazying around in Malapascua. Feasting in Pahiyas. Suntanning in Galera. Mistook friendship for love. And grieved again. Started a new project with a talented team. Reluctant goodbye to Pinas and hello to OR. More challenges. Renewed friendships. Fell in love, yet again; pseudo-relationship with a here-now-gone-later-here-again someone. Bungee jumping. Skydiving. Learning CPR and finally able to cross out 1/5 of my before-30 list. Tequila shots, strip clubs and lap dances --- good times with almost-crush. Tori Amos Portland concert. Cranium. Walked in the city that never sleeps; Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, The Flower Drum Song - New York, New York! Sightseeing in D.C., Seattle. Christmas in Vancouver. :p
Two best friends' weddings. Another nephew, a new angel into our family. Two more friends engaged.
Tears, laughter. Sadness, joy. Agony, exhiralation. Life is complicated. But it is good.
Past revisited. The present savoured and enjoyed. And then there's tomorrow.
I say goodbye to 2002 as one who has lived it fully. Mistakes or not. And I welcome the new year with anticipation of everything that it has to offer. No matter what.
