Another year has gone by..

Celebration by =NaBHaN on deviantART

Seems like it was just yesterday that 2006 started, My god how the year passed us by so fast, or at least that's how it felt to me, and while i'm relieved that the year has come to an end because that means that im getting closer and closer to graduation, I can't help but also feel a bit sad and even worried of what the future holds, what the new year has in store for me and the people i'm closest to. We're all growing older and life is getting alot more serious and difficult and I can't help but wonder where we will be in a year, two or three from now and how different our lives would be.

2006 was alhamdullilah (thank god) an excellent year for me, I might have spent most of it in my room online but I certainly feel like I have accomplished so much artistically and that's really important for me, I have come along way in that field especially when it comes to using illustrator and I have to say that I am really proud of my progress, I sometimes even surprise myself on how much I have grown artistically and often feel like I can do anything once I set my mind on doing it.

The forum (englishsabla.com) however was a pain in the ass in all honesty and there were many times when I just wanted to drop it all and just stop being an admin there. Dealing with members is just not as cool or easy as it used to be. I found myself arguing alot with many people and I just don't get what they have against me, is it just because I'm an admin? is it my opinions? they never even bother explaining they just suddenly lash out and that really can be annoying sometimes because I just want to enjoy being in the forum instead of arguing and defending myself. Despite all that I found myself staying and facing the difficulties and I guess I have learned alot about online people this year thanks to those experiences.

Family.. hmm..nothing new there really, My nephew is an adorable addition to the family mashallah (he was born late 2005 but I got to know him this year only) but other than that things are pretty much the same as they used to, appart from loosing an aunt which really made me sad (may she rest in peace). same goes to friendship, Didn't really make any special friends this year (but I maintained my friendship with the ones I have) and I honestly don't mind it, I am happy with the group of friends I have but I plan to expand that group hopefully once I settle in oman and get my damn driving license because I really hate having to depend on people to drive me here and there, especially when someone asks me to go out and of course I can't do that unless I have someone to drive me around.

So yeah I guess that's pretty much all the highlights as I remember them. I just hope that 2007 will be as easy going and pleasant as this one, and of course I wish you all a very happy new year.
