The year I stopped saying "I would have"
2008 was certainly one of the most significant years of my life not only because of the obvious changes but also what they represented to me as a person and how they influenced my own of life. This year I stopped saying I would have because I lived every minute at the fullest, and when this happens there is nothing you miss.
New Job - It is for sure the right place for me at the moment. Challenged with a more senior role and with a diverse team, I am happy to find an enviorment where I can create, build while having the support of a strong international network.
New country - Joost and I moved to Dubai in an attempt to discover new horizons and keep the exciting component of "adventure" alive. Dubai, a place we were certainly not familiar with, had become our home. Being populated by 80% foreigners, it's certainly a city easy to adapt. We got new places and new flavours, and new faces and a common constant everywhere we go; AIESEC alumni.
New stage - My testomy of love. The public confirmation of my commitment to the person I will spend the rest of my life with in my very own country, Peru! Sorrounded by the most important people to us and in an enviorment of joy, October 11th was the happiest day of my life. The day I stopped saying "I would have", and that is probably because nothing could have made it for us more perfect than it was, and I feel very fortunate for it. We danced, we sang, we cried, we hugged and we enjoyed every single minute of it.
I have realized a new aspect of me, a more reflective person who feels more free to start seeking for the support I can give to the society in a more significant way...Ideas welcome!

Your English has improved a lot. =)
Happy for you! I should also stop saying "could or would have". Things are how they are now. We can make the most out of it.
Hugs and kisses!
Vero, this is very beautifully and openly written, this post made me realize I am (as Jingwei is it seems :) still in that "I'd have" stage, and I better do something about it soon!
This is a really nice post to read Vero. Lots of good wishes to you and Joost!
I have an idea: Go volunteering to share your ideals, your ethics and all the wonderful lessons you have learned to children and woman in the middle east.
:)
