I would remember 2018 as a year of pain.

As I walk through 2019, I would never forget how painful it is to lose someone so dear to our hearts. I know. I know that our grandmother is now in her happy place with God. She is guiding us through and through with the Lord. But it is tough to accept the fact that our beloved is gone with the Lord.

Last Christmas, I am having a chitchat with my cousins. As we all know, when people get drunk and talk about painful experiences, they tend to cry. We cried our hearts out. Shares our regrets and happy memories with our grandmother. as we go on with the talk, I realized that we all have huge regrets because we neglected our grandmother; we did not do the things that can make her happy. As I am older by blood, I told them that we could not undo things. We need to look forward and take care of lolo because I know that is what Lola wants. We should do the simple things that I know Lola wanted, like sleeping over, eating with them, watching some classic movies that he wants. I don’t know how to end this, but I wrote down also the lesson that I’ve learned this 2018.

1. Never take a person for granted
2. Always live your life the way you wanted
3. Do what you can today so you will not have regrets tomorrow
4. Make yourself your third priority (God first, Family second)
5. Always listen before reacting to some issues and all
6. Be matured
7. Be mindful of others emotions, actions and all
8. Never stop learning
9. Be forgiving
10. Be happy with your own company
11. Always have faith in HIM and with yourself
12. Learn to value and appreciate everything

Even though 2018 is the year of pain for me, I know I am still blessed to finally land a job as a property specialist at Avida an AyalaLand Company, and there I have met my second family, the Team Philippians.

Thank you, God! I am now so ready to face 2019. 🙂

Happy New Year, everyone!
