2010

2009 has been the absolute pits for me. It was too full of frustrations, disappointments, betrayals, heartaches and broken promises. My kids have been in and out of the hospital for the past year. But whatever it is, 2009 has made me a better and stronger person equipped to tackle whatever challenges 2010 has in store for me.

Talking about misfortune, I ended 2009 with a holdup. I was held up at gunpoint on the night of 28th while I was waiting for the company shuttle to pick me up for work. Two guys riding a motorcyle stopped me with the passenger pointing the gun to my head while getting my bag. They got my phone, wallet, some money, makeup kit full of branded and rarely used make up and my favorite perfume and cologne. Oh and a bottle of insect spray that I have just gotten from my co-worker in the office and never had the chance to use. Despite it all, I was just grateful that they did not hurt me in any way and they failed to get my jewelry and expensive watch. What they were after was just my bag. For two days after that, I still have trouble sleeping. Probably, I’m just still raw from the experience. I still have to go to the police station to have a police blotter.

 All in all, I’m glad 2009 is now a thing in the past. I’m looking forward to 2010! Cheers everyone!
