A time

Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 3

1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

As 2008 is coming to an end, i guess this is a good time to consider what I've done in the past year. This is a time for me to reflect on the past, to consider present and to prepare for the future.

In the beginning of 2008, I made a resolution, a simple one. To minimise my debts, and to have some savings in my bank account.

It was going pretty well for the first 6 months of the year. But everything went downhill from then. Debts grew, savings shrank. And now, debts more than ever,and savings.... just none.

I'm not proud to say that I did pretty badly for this year. And it breaks my heart to say that I have gotten myself into this position. But what has happened can't be undone.

And now, I'm in BKK trying to get some constant cash in to minimise my debts. It's not easy and not getting easier. But i have to make it out.

So, now it's for me to move on, and to carry on my 2008's resolution into 2009.

May 2009 be a year when I finally get my resolution fulfilled.

Happy new year!
