2009: A YEAR IN REVIEW….
In 2009 I had been thru a few highs yet many lows.
In 2009 I had laughed plenty yet shed so many tears.
In 2009 I had gained a few new friends yet lost so many loved ones.
In 2009 I had seen a few triumphs yet witnessed many more tragedies.
In 2009 I had witnessed a few smiles yet saw a lot more sorrow and sadness.
In 2009 I had celebrated my most loved one turn 60.
In 2009 I had seen the fall of one of the greatest sports stars of my era.
In 2009 I had witnessed my home country be devastated by a natural disaster.
In 2009 the world lost the GREATEST entertainer of All-Time.
In 2009 the world witnessed a part of ‘HISTORY’.
Call it a superstition however I’m not a fan of uneven numbers and had a minor feeling that 2009 was not going to be as great as 2008 was. It’s always hard to back up a year that included travelling to Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand with my closest mates then to Fiji and Samoa with my family. Travelling always gives that year a few extra brownie points. So to 2009 I begin….
On a personal level, 2009 brought one of the highlights of my young life and that was to celebrate with close family and friends the 60th birthday of my Mum. To have family fly over from overseas for this occasion, to have family who I personally have not seen in years turn out in numbers for this celebration is a memory that will last a long time. To see the one I love most smiling from ear to ear and enjoy her time with loved ones is priceless. On another point to give a company 10 years of service is something no one sets out to achieve however it is quite rewarding that your time, effort and dedication gets acknowledged and am thankful that have been able to work with some great, fun yet knowledgeable people over the years.
2009 has been one of the hardest especially with the loss of so many loved ones over the 12 months. The sorrow, tears, sadness let alone emptiness your family, friends, loved ones including I feel are ones that will not go away anytime soon though we all know you are in a better place with our Father in Heaven. I am glad to say that all of you hold a special part in me and that I will never forget you. I dedicate this entry to all of you who have passed on. I love you and miss you and I know you are all looking down smiling down on all your loved ones.

On a global level, well we all witnessed HISTORY with Barack Obama becoming the President of USA, watched one natural disaster after another hit various regions of the globe with notable mentions of course to my home country Samoa, Indonesia and South East Asia to name a few with many perished. A host of celebrities passing on including Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, DJ AM to name a few plus many more. Various news headlines from a plane landing in the Hudson River of New York, to devastating bush fires in Victoria to what is now known as ‘Black Saturday’ to more importantly, the Global Financial Crisis. From Roger Federer becoming the greatest grand slam winner of tennis, to the demise of the greatest golfer of our time, Tiger Woods to both my Denver Nuggets and Parramatta Eels falling at the final hurdle of their respective seasons.
As I wrap up this review, 2009 in my opinion has been more of the lows then of the highs. Though I can not entirely control what will happen in 2010, there are certain parts of it I am already looking forward too and that I do have control of, and I for one will definitely be out there to make 2010, one of the best years yet. So therefore, to 2009, kiss my ass and good riddance as you have FAILED!!
Wishing you all a Happy, Properous, Joyous and Fulfiliing 2010 and wish you and your loved ones Good Healthy and Many Blessings for 2010…. God Bless. LET’S GO!!!!
