So I have decided to continue my 30-Day blog challenge in between regular life posts since I don't always have inspiration to write about things that go on in my daily life.
What's the topic of the day? 10 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN MY LIFE
These are not in chronological order or anything. I will just talk about events that I can remember as I go.
#1 - Moving to Canada
I was 8 years old when I moved to Canada and it was a big event my life because it was a start of a new life for my family and I.
#2 - Getting the lead in 'Alice in Wonderland' in highschool
This was really fun and I never thought I would ever get a lead in a play. This is was memorable because this was a time in my life where I was getting over my shyness of performing in public. Also, I remember it caused some drama with another student because she was pissed off that an Asian girl got the lead part because she has always been a try-hard actress. My drama teacher explained that just because I was Asian, it did not mean I was not good enough to play the role. Also, it brings something different to the play and not a typical white girl will play the role. That girl didn't like me for a while, let's just keep at that.
#3 - Meeting my Future Husband
In the fall semester of 2005, I met a guy who I became friends with at school. We went to the same highschool but never actually met each other until college. We developed a really nice friendship and eventually started dating the next summer and carried on our relationship to this day.
#4 - Getting Engaged
Of course, in continuation to the last one, we eventually got engaged too this year on May 11, 2012! Who would have thought a good friend of mine would end up being my future husband?! I'm the happiest I can ever be. Also, I can get married before my wish, 'getting married before I'm 30' hahahah.
#5 - Finding Out I am going to have a little brother
I was 17 when my mom decided to tell me that she was pregnant and I am going to have another sibling. I was shocked of course! I didn't think my parents were ever going to have another child especially at the age I was in. Being in the teenager mentality, I didn't know how to react. I was finally at a point in my life where I was coming on my own, had my social life and having to think about taking care of a child was mind-boggling to me LOL. But I love my brother. He's sweet, smart and he loves me too and respects me and I love having something call me, "Ate".
#6 - The year my uncle died.
This was a major event in my life that never really leaves my mind. He was like a second father to me. When I found out he passed away, I was so shocked that I could not even cry until the day of his funeral. I miss him very much but I know he's always with me.
#7 - Moving Out
I had already been dating my fiance for over 5 years now and he was living on his own already but I was still with my parents. The day had come where I did want to move in with him so that we can experience that with each other. My fiance decided to talk to my parents about it and then we talked about it all together. My parents said they were okay with it because I'm my own woman now who can make her own decisions and they trusted my fiance because he's pretty much part of the family now too.
#8 - Having 2 dogs
I guess if you think about it, this like 2 different things since we got each dog at a different time but just the whole concept of having two dogs is one big event for me. I have always wanted a dog and my fiance has always lived with dogs. Now ... we have two dogs!! One huge one and one teeny one. I love my babies so much. They make me laugh, smile, cry and I don't know how to live without them.
#9 - Buying our house
This was a major point in both our lives really because it is our first REAL home that we own and call our own. We have more space, levels, a beautiful park in our backyard ... it doesn't get any better than this.
#10 - Getting Accepted into the Accounting Program
After numerous attempts of what I thought I wanted to be "when I grow up", I finally figured out what I wanted to do as a career - accounting. Getting the acceptance letter for Accounting Diploma at KPU was one of the most exciting things in my life because it signifies the one thing in my life that I am actually sure about in the working world.
I am sure there are significant events in my life but those are the main ten that popped in my head so I guess they are pretty important then!!
