Facebook is not the culprit

My blog has long been neglected but I must say that Facebook and the other social networking sites are not the culprit. There have just been too many things that happened in my life and I just never found the energy or the strength to put all my feelings into words.

There are only several days in 2009 left and looking back, I must say that it's been a generally good year.

I became a purple person and on certain occasions morphed into a person I don't recognize.

I was challenged and pushed to my limits but my lightbulb moments pulled me through.

I gained 20 pounds but also reached a level of happiness that I have not felt in such a long time. (yes, the inverse proportion still stands. MoFo!)

I found love but lost my father.

I became more aware of the power of the love of your family but had to learn it the painful way.

I got displaced but also found my 'place' on this earth.

I haven't spoken to Him much but that's always been a work in progress.

I lost a big amount of money but felt abundantly blessed just the same.

I visited new sites and went on fun adventures but at one point felt like I lost my way.

I made new friends and learned to let go of those who weren't real.

I got wasted and wreckaged but saw how much I am loved (thank you dear friends).

I spent more time in the kitchen and applied my Mom's tricks of the trade (got burnt in the process).

I learnt that I still can't let go cos I don't know how to forgive myself.

I discovered that I can forgive and forget.. but not for some things and not for all people.

I became debt-free and indebted all over again. (It's a vicious vicious cycle)

I grew up.

2010 is fast-approaching. Christmas even faster (though I still don't feel the spirit. Bah hambug!) I may not be prepared for the things that are set my way in the coming year but I know that 2009 will leave me prepared for most things. To the choice few who will click on this link, I pray that your year has been (at the very least) as fruitful and colorful as mine and I wish that your 2010 will bring in more blessings and more joy in your life/ lives.

Kampai!
