| HIIIIII! Sooo......where should I begin. I misss you guys! I hear the weather has been super nice in TO...i wish I was there to enjoy it with you all. Actually I think that'll happen very soon......so here's why that is....
It's crazy how life has so many twists and turns.....I dun even know how to sum up my life in the past year. I can honestly say that i've done everything I've always wanted to do before settling down anywhere or with anyone. Last summer, I left ppl that I love, travelled the world, met tons of ppl from all over, re-acqainted with my roots in HK, spent time with my family here (my beautiful nieces esp), felt completely alone, being completely broke, worked abroad, ......and sooo much more. Sure it's been huge ups and downs....but I looooove every moment of it! I could not have done any of this without the support from you guys, my family, and most importantly from God. I'm not being corny, it's simply the truth.
I'm beginning to get settled here in HK. Now with my own place and a landlord that treats me like her grand-daugher; a job that offers a bright prospect for career advancement. This city is so vibrant and fast-paced.....you'll always find something to do at any hour of the day. I've had a ton to think about after Wes's visit. As much as HK has to offer for a young person with a drive to succeed, it doesn't have the one person that I need most here. Career is secondary when it comes to the future we may have together....that's my conclusion.
Everything DOES happen for a reason. It definately has not been a waste of time, money, and effort to get to this point. I've never been so sure about something and someone. So the verdict is that I'm moving back to TO....hopefully in the next couple months. I feel terrible about quitting this job since my boss has been really good to me and I'm just starting to really get to know some of my colleagues on a personal basis. I still have to decide when I wanna hand her the letter....yikes.
So...my friends, I will soon be unemployed and still broke......again. Can V ever hold down a steady job..? Geez! Well, I'm not overly concerned...when there's a will..there's a way. hahah....THAT was corny. Anywas, nothing is more exciting than builiding a life with the person you love.
In past year, I've discovered, and have confirmed SO many things for myself....what's truly important to me in the end is having the ppl that I love around me and growing in my own faith spiritually. Every else is truly secondary. I can't wait to see and hug you guys again! see you soon.....

| So....it's official. After couple weeks of debating whether to stay or
to go back to TO, I've come to the decision to stay in HK for the next
bit of my life. So...followed by a several weeks of intense job hunting
and interviewing, I decided to stick with my field and signed with
Altana Pharma last week. I start work on Monday and life begins in HK
thereafter!
Do you ever look back at the negative events or some bad circumstances
you had to go through and be grateful to those low points of your life?
I often do a self-check when I come out of a tough situation..how much
have I grown, did I become a better, stronger person? 99% of the time,
the answer is Yes, I've gained more than what I thought I'd lost at the
moment. And if you look closely, you'll find the purpose and reason
behind every event ...someday, you'll be able to connect the dots and
the picture will appear. I'm still connecting the dots.
It's never easy to be pulled out of your own comfort zone and start a
new life from scratch. I love the challenge that was given to me and
the process of overcoming it. It amazes me each time when I look back
and realize how the One above stuck by me through it all. "If you seek
in faith, you will be found." So here I am, found again at last.
So my friends, I suppose I am now up for a new challenge. Some of you
know that HK work ethics is notorious for having CRAZY hrs and inhumane
(sp?) to some degree. I'm looking forward to seeing just how insane it
gets here. Life will certainly be different, and I already know the
"comfiness" of TO which I will eventually want to come back to. But for
now, I need to explore the unknown while I'm still young (somewhat) and
have the will power to do so.... even if it's gonna be hell. I believe
the experience I gain here will be just like the one I had from
travelling; no regrets!
I'm in the process of getting my own place. Hopefully my dear friends
in TO will drop in for a visit in the near future! Miss you all very
much!
