It’s more of a year of new experiences and realizations rather than a year of good events.
The year 2011 started with more of my academics, specifically POS100, TH141 and FIL14. Those were good core subjects, mainly because of the professors/teachers. Ms. Anne Candelaria was the prof for the POS 100 class and she was one wacky, interesting but excellent teacher. Sir Bobby Guevara was the teacher I got for TH141 which gave me a lot of insights with his stories, though more related to our discussions that time, but he made it interesting and related to our lives. Lastly, I finally managed to get Sir Alvin Yapan for Fil14 which was a really funny class but I learned a lot of trivia stuff there.
Then there was the OJT at Ateneo Innovation Center which became a sausage fest. (Though one of us now went out of the group. 
) It was a fun experience, fun bonding with my blockmates there and other interns.
Then the 5th year of college started with a lot of bizarre things happening around me. Though I think it’s safer not to mention them here. Hahahah~!
But just to review this year,
I met new people, new friends to rely on but I also got in touch (more importantly) with my barkada who are really there for me when I needed them. I also missed the bondings and chats (and also the chismis). With them, I can say things are changing. Then in school, I met more people that I can bond with. These people are a complete surprise to me because, I wasn’t expecting that I can really bond with them. To pay back, just like to my barkada and to anyone close to me, I tried to be a reliable person to them. I was able to share stories to them and it was a memorable event for me.
Just before the year ended, I met more people from another center, who accomodated me well during our activity in Laguna Hills. It’s nice to be with other people (more when you’re the odd one out). They proved to me that I can be sociable, can hang out with other people and make my habit of making assumptions fly away. (thanks, Fr. Francis, you’re the man)
LSAT, my beloved team was the best experience of university service I had in my concluding 5 years of college. Met different people, different working situations, different student attitudes, but same wacky but also serious REGCOM, same people who stayed with me until my last duty, same family. Yes, this is a family of mine here. Though some went out already but I understood their reasons. I can’t really force them into this but I will miss them so much as memories were formed with them. And I will miss them more and more when I’m out.
Academics! Oh academics, I think I was able to bag down the DL for the first semester. though I’m strugglin’ a bit this second semester, it still reminds me to push harder and harder for the last leg of the race.
Social Life? I guess I’m improving but the perky side, I’m not really sure. Take it from me, I’m very kuripot and will only spend for something I know would really be worth it. But as I’ve mentioned above, when it comes to bonding sessions, I met a lot of people which fitted the bill.
Love Life? trying to revive it. though it might end up a failure again, at least I can say I pushed more courage this time before. and that makes it a good experience.
Lots of stories heard as well and they were all worth the listening. I’ve given advices I hope I’d do in the future for myself, drank more coke than before…
..less alcohol, though and for me that’s nice…
…still 42.5 kilos, same dilemmas but killing them down one by one. I was actually reading my hidden blog and I was kind of “emo” for most of the time.
But I think the most important thing that happened this year is that no matter how much happiness or sadness came, no matter how much disappointment and frustrations I encoutered, I enjoyed life as it is. Push more to bring better results, ask myself what’s the next best thing to do when things go wrong and share the joy when I encounter something that makes me happy. With the people who cared for me, thank you very much. Let’s welcome this new year with more enthusiasm, optimism, courage, strength and effort to make things always on the right direction. Happy 2011, Happy 2012!
