My Inner Strength...

Memories are like the scent of lemon grass
Has a sour taste but still very sweet
--The Scent of Lemon Grass by Jolin Tsai

This is long overdue..I haven't been able to update my blog...but anyway, here's a take on my recently concluded 22nd birthday....

It's not everyday that I turn 22. With every birthday comes realizations and promises from myself on things I have to do, avoid, and work on. I have so many things to be thankful for but these two things comprise all of it...

1. The gift of family and friends. I think that I am very lucky to have found genuine friends and a loving family who continue to support my decisions in life. Yes, I can be very stubborn at times but I try to back down once in a while. With the people in my life, I never really felt I had no room to grow. At 22, I feel that I am at my best where I can be virually almost anything that I want to be. How many people my age can say that?

2. Having a job that I love. I work hard because I love what I am doing. Training agrees with me and I have done it for so many years already. I don't get bored and I get to meet a lot of people. Each day is a learning experience. But don't get me wrong, it's not all milk and honey, I have to stay up late for OT to finish studying and preparing for class. I have to do a little paper work for evaluations and such but overall, the experience is well worth it.

Life is full of surprises and I am definitely surprised every day..in a good way that is...these people are what keeps me going...they are the reason why I still choose to live life...(so it's not true that being single sucks...it only sucks during christmas and valentine's day...haha)
