March 18 has passed again and that means I’m another year older.  Since I turned 30 last year then I think it’s reasonable enough to say that I turned 31 this year.  Well, just correct me if I’m wrong but I strongly believe that to be a fact. LOL.

So, what transpired from March 18, 2007 to March 18, 2008?  Not quite much but pretty interesting nonetheless.   I’ll try to keep this short so instead of narrating the events, I’ll just put them in bullet lists.

  • I worked for Increase Media as a PHP developer for 6 months (May to October).  It was my second highest paying jo in my entire career as an employee
  • When November came in, I moved over to Athens Development, Inc. which is currently my highest paying job.  I’m still working for Athens upto present and no, I’m not assigned in some architecturally magnificent building in Greece.  I work at home.
  •  November was also the month when my family celebrated the first birthday of Jae - my baby boy.
  • Can’t really tell exactly when it happened but I decided to become an Atheist within these 12 months.
  • My Adsense account was restored.
  • I got a real working Paypal account and already had successfully withdrawn funds from it.
  • I became a partner of Eway54.com.
  • I took a week-long vacation in Baguio during my mom’s birthday.
  • Took my family to the Global Fun carnival and had some really cool and stomach-churning rides.

I may have forgotten a few highlights but I swear I did my best in recalling them.  Also, within this year I made some people really happy and some people really sad.  I lost the trust of some and gained the trust of others.  The same goes with respect.

Well, all I can say is that I’m still growing and learning but one thing shall remain - while my age increases every year, I’ll still be a child in heart for it has been the very reason why lots of people love me and why I remain happy.  Perhaps in accordance with my childish heart, my birthday was celebrated with mostly spaghetti and barbecue.  My wife’s comment was that I was like celebrating a children’s party and I certainly love that.  What I missed though were the balloons and those hotdogs and marshmallows.  Oh well, maybe next year.

What about goals?  Well, I have higher goals this time.  Some of my goals for last year were not met but that doesn’t mean that I’ll leave them behind.  I’m looking forward to having a really great financial breakthrough in my life this year.  I’ll work harder so I don’t have to work much in the future.  My ultimate goal is to sit back, relax and enjoy life with my family.

So that’s it!  Cheers and thanks to all those who greeted me!
