It was in this year that I started to learn, and love, a new sport - running. I am and never was a physically active person, but this year, I chose to push myself a little more. I was able to run for 4 running events this year - a 5k fun run, two 10k runs and a 5k with 7 obstacles.it was also the first time I was able to participate in a company sporting event, again in running.
This year was also a year of big decision. A decision that made me both excited and sad. I ended my 5 year tie with the company which allowed me to live my dreams. A decision to give up a lot of things, including chances of going back to Japan. But it was also a decision that made me a better me, both personally and careerwise. It made me see life in a different perspective.
2013 was also the year I first attended a "non-echo" SFC ICon. It was one weekend I will never forget. A chance that made me "belong" to my younger brothers and sisters in the community.
This year has been a year of thrills and happiness. A year of stresses and heartaches. A year of endings and new beginnings.
And as we usher to 2014, the year I'll turn 30, I pray that the Lord will grant me new blessings, new happy memories, new beginnings. Sure there'll be challenges, but sure will get through it.
