2011 has been one hell of a roller coaster ride, though 2010 was very fruitful and amazing, I guess it all came down to 2011 where heartaches took the number 1 spot for this years countdown. I may say everything has its purpose and I think I will begin to say that 2011 was not really a good year for me.
Let me sum up my 2011 in 11 ways;
11. 2011 became a year of MONEY, gadget and spending a lot for me. I am suppose to save this year but all these problems makes me spend some more on clothes and stuff that I already have but I think an investment for 2011 is quite a good thing, got my DSLR camera back, a new phone, an ipad2 for work, blogging, fashion and social networking, additional hard drives for personal files and yes the techie side of me came back.
10. SHOES, this year is all about shoes, I can’t stop buying new shoes, shoes and more shoes hahahaha!!! Maybe having a career change made my lifestyle changed as well.
9. 2011 was more on FOOD, gained weight ALOT!!!! seriously, I’ve had the best meals for this year. All the food trips and dine outs were worth it despite the fact that we were able to spend 14,000 in a special secret meal for one night, oh my!!! that was truly an experience worth sharing.
8. Travel, yes was able to go home, spent 2weeks time with family, go out of the country and had fun. Travel was always my priority and I hope I can travel more next year and the upcoming years to come.
7. PEOPLE. I’ve met a dozen of amazing people this year, maybe having a new face on your friends list is refreshing to begin with. I am totally happy I was able to meet more blogger friends in Cebu, met them in Bangkok and most especially had fun tagging photos and twitter mentions despite the long distance relationship hahaha! And yes having a BBM, iMessage, Viber and Whatsapp helps a lot….
6. Career change. I thought I will stay as a teacher forever but something came to my surprise and I do not know what has gotten into me why I accepted it but everything changed entirely. I would say 2011 was highly productive of me, keeping me busy with work thus all the back logs in my blog and absenteeism in twitter, yet work makes me happy. Isn’t it weird?
5. Family. Though miles apart, my relationship with my mom became stronger and stronger. Changes are constantly amazing and her acceptance of everything is really the best gift ever, nothing can change that. Talking to my brothers intimately about family issues was such a big thing but I am glad we are more bonded than ever before. And being strong for someone I dearly LOVE this year is something I do not want bargain with anyone. It makes me happy to be happy for my FAMILY!
4. Fears. I conquered my fear this year, well not entirely all my fears just some of them. I finally got inked despite the urge of getting scared, knowing my fear of loosing someone has been tested as well but at least it makes me learn more and understand things than ever before.
3. PARTY. 2011 became a year of party and celebration, I just don’t know why but I know for sure I am a home buddy and prefers long and quiet coffee breaks with friends than late night partying but my body seemed to have gotten used to all the nonstop dancing and margaritas!
2. Beauty. I have made a promise to take care of my hair this year and it came true. I had the luck of knowing a lot of pretty young girls who can prettify their selves in just a couple of minutes, but beauty does not need any hard core colored make up or concealer. It only needs inner peace and a positive outlook in life. That’s all that matters, being happy and being at peace.
1. HEARTACHES. As much as I do not want negativity to end my 2011 but I have to admit it, this year has been so crappy with negative issues, situations and a lot relationships ended up very ugly. Lost a lot of people I trusted before, realized who my real friends are and most especially knowing deeply the person whom you thought you have known before. I think I was too kind and was too giving for 2011, I was thinking that I have wasted my energy, my ideals, money, love, care for everyone I love the most but I end up with nothing but disappointment, being hurt, betrayal and most importantly I end up with regrets. Just regrets in giving too much, I was too cautious with not giving everything for LOVE but I failed in FRIENDSHIP.
But despite of all the bitter endings and regret, I am happy that 2011 is going to end tonight. I am excited for 2012 to come, and what ever happens, if it is really the end of the WORLD? (I wish not!!!) I would like to say, THANK YOU to everyone who made my 2011 A LIVING HELL!!! you all made me stronger, wiser and a better person. And to everyone who has stayed for me no matter what, THANK YOU for LOVING ME until the very end. I couldn’t ask for more.
HAPPY 2012 everyone!!! Enjoy your NEW YEAR!!!!
