My Blog

You know what people say about looking at the bright side? Call me an eternal optimist but I’ve always believed that things happen for a reason, usually a good one.

Until recently, I haven’t gotten around to talking about how my year went. For the most part, 2007 was a very good year for me. I didn’t travel as mucb as I have in 2006 but in terms of career and professional advancements, it should be one for the books. But like most people born in the Year of the Dragon, it was also an emotional roller coaster ride..

Call it winning some and losing some but I guess you can’t really always get what you want. Loss is always a painful thing for anybody, whether it’s momentary or permanent. The good news is what comes down, always comes back up. And I do hope that will eventually the case with me.

Looking at the bright side, I feel more fortunate and blessed compared to a lot of other people I know, who probably deserves even better. I know there are still some issues to sort out but for now, i think I’ll be okay.

The best thing about the best laid plans of mice and men is that if they don’t work out, the alternatives could be just as appealing, if not even better. Maybe I need not look very far to see what’s really good for me. Maybe i haven’t been paying attention. Maybe, just maybe, what I’m really looking for is just right here in front of me all along.
