2007, In Review
Here’s the actual year-end review for 2007. Month by Month.
I’m not doing this because almost everybody is. I’m doing this because 2007 has been the year that not a lot has happened, but what happened has been turning points in my life.
- January - February
- I spent New Year’s Eve finishing a test website to submit it on time for a reckoning. It was my plan that 2007 is the year that I make the changes happen. I didn’t pass, but it was a sign of things to come. 2007 will be a busy year.
Early February, I took up a one-day class as a web design refresher course.
I was almost invisible online during these months due to the disappointment of that test. But it was also my proudest months. I was doing something to accomplish what I always wanted to do.
- March
- The official sort of opening for Sugoi Stuff.
The month I got Enma Ai, my nightly companion. A part of the plan that is soon to be realised.
- April and May
- A stand-still. A sort of personal meditation. I was already at two-minds whether to go on further with my plan, or simply back out.
I was active in LJ, but it was more of my brain trying to be active despite of my emotional state.
I took up additional hobbies, projects, different from what I usually do.
Looking back, it was a break I was actually looking for. It made me come to the decision.
- June
- I quit my paper pushing job and took on a web designing career.
All that planning and thinking and projects, to perfect my craft… Now for profit.
- July, August and September
- I was in a state of euphoria. I’ve been having wonderful days, circumstances and experiences. Memories to cherish as the time passes. I never really thought anything could go wrong!
- October
- Then the tooth had to act up.
Everything did a complete 180 degree turn. Not exactly for the worst, but definitely for a change.
And I mean everything.
- November
- November had to be allotted for coping and handling the situation as much as I can, monetary and emotionally. I could almost breakdown at any moment. I was like a bad actor. Crying one minute, laughing my head off in another.
- December
- The whole of December I was up to my neck with projects that needed to be done so that I can actually pay medical bills.
And as early as mid-December, I was already looking back…
It has been an odd, stressful but fulfilling year. Despite all the amount and risk choices I have made, I don’t have any regrets. And I finally followed the mantra I kept telling my self the year before.
To jump and follow my heart– to jump and let go.
I’m proud to say that I actually took the leap.
Here’s to 2008 with a hopeful prayer that things will go better.
