dear 2009 ...

you sucked! ok i'm exaggerating ... you did not suck but you were by no means great [2008 still gets that honor]. as always the year was full of ups and downs and all that jazz, but what else is new.

so without further ado ... in true cathy form [bullets and all] .. this year:
  • went by WAY too fast but i digress ...
  • i got to travel to PR and most importantly, chile!!!
  • i went to many weddings. 2008 was the year of the baby but this year was definitely the year of the wedding. i got to witness 4 people that i care for deeply get married. although it was expensive & i complained for 2 min, it was beautiful and i'm thankful that they all deemed me special enough to participate in such an important day in their lives.
  • i became a god momma to my cutie patootie cousin.
  • i got my heart strings pulled at. :: cue kanye :: "why's everything that's supposed to be bad make me feel so good?"
  • i breathed a sigh of relief when i found out that the fact that i was sittin in that room on the day of the company wide lay off meant i was spared and still employed.
  • i fell into best friendville with a filipino [still waitin for those clear noodles homie!]
  • i saw too many people pass away ... people i know, loved ones of friends, and public figures. may they all RIP
  • i got to spend christmas with my favorite cousin & aunt ... it had been years.
  • as a "minority" and a latina woman, i felt extra, extra proud.
  • i turned 27 and had a spectacular bday, as always.
  • i got a WIIIIIIII!!! [my first console EVER other than atari and gameboy lol].
  • got to watch chile classify for the cup & the yankees win the series.
... i can't think of any more. i had the basic things going for me this year as well ... i'm healthy, my family is well, i have a job, my friends are great. etc etc. but nothing really spectacular happened either; it was kind of just a "whatever" year i suppose.

with that said ... in 24 hours it will be 2010. the start of a new year and a new decade. i hope to continue to have health, happiness, and a job. i hope that my family and friends all continue to have the same, or gain it if they are lacking any of those. i hope to continue my friendships and gain new ones; to become number 1; to find a job that fulfills me and to continue my personal goal of travels around the world.

farewell 2009 and hello 2010. may you be good to me.
