A friend asked me, “Where would we be at the end of the year?” I claimed not to know. But of course, both of us knew it was only a matter of time before our wings spread to bring us to heights we only dreamt of.

The flurry of developments and opportunities have taken me to places far beyond the expectations a mundane mind could conceive. Almost on a daily basis, I am visiting new places, meeting new people and traveling across countries. My passport has been stamped countless times in the past months, and if this continues, I may need a new one real soon.

Relationships and friendships have also matured over time, bringing forth greater understanding and concern mutually, definitely a healthy course to take for the forging of lasting ties.

If there is one decision I will never live to regret, it is that which brought me to this place and time.
