the year that was...

(written december 27, 2007 on my multiply account)

2007 is coming to an end... by God's grace it has been another year of adventures and blessings enjoyed... another year of challenges survived... another year of lessons learned... another year of memories to treasure forever...

i started my 2007 by transferring back to cebu. i was hired as an Operations Supervisor by Xlibris, an American publishing company. I stayed there until September. I enjoyed my stay there and I learned a LOT, professionally and personally. I will forever treasure the friends and the memories made during my stay there. For my team, thank you and i miss you all! Special mention to my manager, sirMerrel, you have shared to me countless knowledge and wisdom both in work and personal life. Thank you for being such a GREAT mentor and a GREATER friend. Thanks to my close friends... Monique -for your insanities, honesty, and passion for life. my Xlibris life was made extra special because of your friendship. Mayta - for your humility and simplicity. for simply being there. Marj - for your dedication and openness. i was blessed as a supervisor for having an agent like you.
