Month-End Reflections (December 2016)

December! The last month of the year... It was quite a fast month I think so... A few highs and lows... Twice I got sick... at the start and at the end... Quite a terrible to have... But quite a good ending for the month spending the holidays with my friends! My life long friends.


Why Am I Here?
It started as if I would not have a good month to end of the year as I was struck with sickness at the start of the month. Also, it started with a bad note feeling that my leave for the end of the month will not happen due to work responsibilities. In the end, though a few things that was quite a bad experience during my holiday (and working on my leave) it was something good spending time with my friends in Christmas and this coming New Year's Eve and New Year's Day! With the struggles and headaches of the month, I will leave behind the headaches and enjoy the time with my friends.


What Did I Learn This Month?
With the bad experiences that I had in this month, being sick twice and having someone just ruining my holidays and as usual being them... a power grabber, I needed to think positively in my life that it would be better that no matter what happens it is only me who can make myself be happy and be great at the end of the day.


Am I Carrying An Excess Baggage In This Month That Can Be Dropped?
People who loves to grab power or people who don't know how to handle the power given to them. I guess, it's a nature with them after being given the power. I don't see it as a strength, but a weakness to the people who have these. Unfortunately, I have to deal with these kinds of people as long as I work in the same company. But, what do I have to do? Just go with the flow and be positive in my life because I will not go down in their level. I'll keep myself away.


What Is The Greatest Achievement I Did This Month? 
Staying away with people who have hidden agenda. No matter what they want to do, I will do what I am supposed to do. I know what I do, I know what I can do, I know myself better than anybody. People can throw stones at me so hard that I can be left dead, but I know I can shield them off because I know I have done something good and even great, with the help of God.


What Is the Biggest Time Sink I Did This Month?
Just the sickness I had. It made me slow down. Now, I need to focus on taking care of myself more than usual. Taking care of what I eat. Taking care of my health. As I grow older I know I am not like before, the energetic me, the kid who just runs around and around without feeling tired.


What More Should I Do For Next Month?
Looking forward to the next year ahead with the passion in my life. Looking forward to the next year ahead with a lot more challenges. I just need to be happier than that I can be. But, what I can see do more is be more of a God-centered person that I used to be, well not only for next month but for the next year.


Who Did I Help This Month?
Actually, I'm really thinking hard but I can't remember any. I guess it's all about work... Helping a few people at my work.


Whom Should I Say "Thank You" This Month?
I would like to thank the people who consider me as friends. It's really special to have TRUE FRIENDS especially when you are out of the country. I am thankful for the friends who made this month special. I guess if they read this they would know who they are. Thanks for the time and invites. Thanks for the memories and thanks for allowing me to be with you all in the special days before the end of the year.
