2015 Was a Blast!

A little bit late for this year-in-review post but still worth reminiscing and sharing (took too much time in scavenging the pics)!  Here’s how I had a blast in 2015!

The Closure

My 2015 started very bad.  As in, very very bad!  Cried buckets of tears for weeks, posted really bitter FB and IG posts, stopped living and just existed – these and just these that I did!  I wallowed in misery, depression.  Yeah, yeah, depression!  I didn’t bother to get myself back together however, it is fate that did.  Because in all those dealings, I had my friends picking me up.

Thanks to my little store friend, Hanah for coming right away (even without her knowing of what just happened).  To Ruth for immediately coming to the rescue right then and there, to Cherry Ann and Sandy for the company right after.  To MM and Atsi Ann who are always a text away, Pen2x for opening up my mind, Ruth again for taking care of me in CDO, Cherry Ann again in Cebu, and Cathy in Iligan.  To Arbie, Glendale, Toti, and Mimi for consoling me through their pm’s, to Quennie, Will, and ex-friend Gino for lighting up my days through our now dead group chat, Pineapple Juice.  And of course to Kring2x for giving me the Dear Alex book, an instrument for me to let go and move on.  Thank you so so much, guys for always being there for me.  Thank you for listening to my very shallow concerns.  I’m sorry that sometimes I may like be a clanging cymbal, very noisy with my little issues but still, you’re all there giving me attention.  With that, I am indebted to you.  Thank you for helping me survive my darkest days in 2015!

Now, enough with the drama!  After the dark days, bright and even brighter days followed!  2015 gave me more than what I expected in terms of places to seeparties to enjoy, people to hang-out withfood to eat, material things to invest, and new adventures to experience!  I also noticed that after every heartbreak, financial blessings flow abundantly.  I guess love and career never go hand in hand.  We cannot have both at the same time and as of the moment, it is the career that’s working well in my life.  So for the boys out there, come and break my heart for I now know the aftermath of it and am willing to receive the overflowing blessings that result from it!  Bwahaha!!!  Still single as is, still waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting…..

And in a nice note, 2015 indeed was the year of God’s favor in my life!  Though the year started bad, it ended up really really good!  So if I was beyond blessed in 2014 and if I desired to be blessed to be a blessing in 2015, I will be anointed to be a blessing in 2016!

Grateful, grateful, grateful!  I am just wonderfully grateful!  🙂

Written by Mae Olandesca

Mary Rosalie Olandesca, a lover of the arts, humanities, and social sciences, found herself entangled in the realm of applied science and engineering, a path that didn't align with her true passions. Determined to break free from her "chemical engineer" title in the Philippines, she embarked on a brave journey to Toronto, fitting her life in only two suitcases. Despite completing her Chemical Laboratory Technician program at Seneca Polytechnic just recently, she realized that the chemical world failed to ignite her heart. A momentous realization led her to embrace her true calling as a writer, with a Creative Writing course acting as the catalyst for her long-time passion in wordsmithing. Thus emerged the extraordinary persona of Mae, the other side of her multifaceted identity.
