2008 - the year that it was

wow so i started work today and im still tring to wrap my head around the fact that we are now in 2009. looking back at 2008, i must say that it was.. ah.. something.

Career front: i became more settled in a job that i started late the privious year. i made my mark in this industry that i had no clue about. i mad good contacts and am at an ok place although roiom for improvement and more knowledge is still very much strongly there.

personal

wow a lot happend here. first and so much stronger than the rest is the huge post brake up with Gary. for most of the year i spent it in limbo wondering and hoping that there will be a sequal to "us" and trying almost all things to ensure that there is. i had so many nights where i cried myself to sleep and so many that craved for his touch. then came the hate that had me leave town for a while. as the year went on it got better though because slowly but surely i got over him and moved right along. thats when i meet shaun. now this was something.
he totally in a space of a couple of days flipped my whole world upside down for the best. man now this was something. with him its like all the things in the movies that got me all looking foward to being in love, he did. the foot massage, the taking me to go see his favorite spots, the talking for hours about everything... the works. i loved being with him and everyday i found new reason to love him more. the way he kissed me.... that was something and always took my breath away.
while i was enjoying that... gary got serious and sat me down to explain a couple of things. things such as why he really asked for us to be over and just the emotions he was going through at that time. through this so many things fell into place and i got closure on a lot of other things. we after talking for hours realised that we were going through the same things, like how he would also wait at church, holding his breath waiting for me to walk in. (i did exactly the same thing). then he explained why he loved me and reasons why he thinks i would make the perfact wife for him. then at the very end, he told me that he had fallen for me all over again (yes the very thing that i wished he would do all year long but now i was with shaun who at the time seemed to be more in love with me than i was with him) that night i cried once again... (i shall write a post just to explain all this more)
then there was the drifting apart with my childhood friend. now this hurt because i could see it happening but could do nothing to stop it. we didnt fight or anything but it seemed like everyday, our intrests changed and completly contrasted. then she got back with her ex and i was the last one to find out. that hurt like never before.

then there was also the realisation that i am no longer a kid. my relationship with my parents became much stronger and they seemed to take me as an adult as well.

then the 31st happend and shaun and i broke up on new year's eve.

shooooo what a lot.

now here i am, well into the swing of 2009 and already things are hapening...
i shall follow up on the details of all this in the next post...
