2010

Happy Near Year everyone! The last two weeks of December has been really hectic for me. I am infront of the computer for almost 24 hours a day but just could not find time to write new articles for this blog.

And I thought I was going to end 2009 with no further mishaps. Sad to say that was not the case. I was held at gunpoint last December 28 while I was waiting for the shuttle to pick me up. The shuttle was late and two men riding a motorcycle approached me. The driver was asking me for the time while the passenger jumperd at me and had a gun pointed at my head. They got my bag and my cellphone. Drat! My mom gave me that cellphone as an early Christmas gift since my previous phone was stolen in the office. I had the phone for less than a month and now I’m back to being phoneless again. The bag the holdappers took was also one of my favorites. I lost some money and my entire make up kit full of branded and rarely used make up! And my favorite cologne and perfume. My perfume alone costs more than my cellphone. One wonders if the holdappers will throw away the bag after getting the phone and money or will they give it to their spouses or girlfriends.

I’m just grateful that aside from pointing the gun and actually feeling its butt in my forehead, they did not harm me. I often hear cases where the holdappers will also hurt their victims and I’m glad that did not happen to me. As it is, I almost had a nervous breakdown and could not sleep for two days… What a way to end 2009!

Moving ahead, I’m so excited of what 2010 has in store for me. 2009 has been the absolute pits for me. It was full of disappointments, frustrations, heartbreaks, betrayals, broken promises and sickness! My kids were in and out of the hospital for the whole year but  thank God nothing really catastrophic happened. But I emerged stronger and better and I know that no matter what God has in store for me in the coming years, I’m better equipped in handling my life. Cheers everyone! May 2010 be a frutiful year for us all!
