I will just say significant events in my life for 2012 since a lot of us are saying “There are a lot of things that happened in 2012” but cannot really recall all of them. 🙂
First of all, the graduation from college was this year. It was quite a bizarre event for me because there are things that happened that made it a little bit sad but still great (after some time, I realized, it was not sad, afterall). Â Five years in college was tough as your batch mates are already graduating and you still have one more year to go. With the help of other friends and course mates, we were able to endure BS ECE and graduated on time. It was tough but fun at the same time.
Second, the failure of board exams. Yeah it was really disappointing but given what was happening behind, I guess I can live with it. What I cannot take are the smug faces of those people who got it by luck or whatever. But, here we are, they have their licenses and I hope it will give them a big help. I remember one high school friend of mine that I met in TENCON in Cebu and asked him if he got the exam. He replied yes, but quickly told me that he does not need that license as it will really bring nothing much into his preferred career. He does not even plan on renewing that license and he hates paying penalty fees.
Third, new friends 🙂 Although most of them are still in Gabay since most of my year are tucked within the school proximity. Still, even if it makes me old, I miss people calling me Kuya Pau or Lolo Pau. For sure, I will be waiting for someone to shout Kuya Pau from afar when I am working. And I know they are good friends because just this December when I needed someone to talk to or just simpy gather some opinions, they were there for me, told me what they think and some possible things I can do. I cannot wait to see them once they all gather back here in Manila. 🙂
Fourth, the people who are guiding my spiritual life. Another year of full-blast effort and attention to my spiritual life. These people, you will really observe dedication to improve other people’s spiritual lives and I am thankful that they are still beside me, guiding me everyday on what to do, how to encounter problems in life and solve them.
Fifth, the blessings, material and non-material. At the start of 2012, I really did not expect much of gadgetry despite having a part time job by May because I am not really interested much even if technology is shooting up. However, I am still blessed with some opportunities to get some things I want. For instance, the Nexus 7 tablet was the very first gadget I got out of my work and it was a blessing indeed because I got it with no shipping fees, which means I got it for the price that Google exactly indicated in their store. The others are simply love from family and friends. The care that my parents have given me, despite their strict nature, the Ninongs and Ninangs who are there to ask how am I doing and my inaanak. Yep, I became ninong this year and so far I am happy with my inaanak. I even teach her Math! 🙂
Sixth, Love life? Hahaha! MISFORTUNES! But I learned a lot from those events. In fact, I may have been avoided a catastrophe but of course, all the moments and such… oh well. 🙂 Just recalling some of the events, makes me laugh.
There are also some events that have brought me into a thinking spot and even got me misinterpreted. Sometimes, confusion come along, either I really do not know what is happening or someone is messing things up. The introvert in me is surely making things a little bit miserable for me but at least it is keeping me on the safe side. So far I am doing well with things and I love what I am doing right now. 2012 taught me a lot of things through people and events.
Ups and Downs were a lot this year, I got confused, got scolded by people for some reason I cannot understand or rather I cannot put things or their side into context. There are people out there who are ready to bring me back to the road and escort me until I can go again on my own. I want to do more of that this year.
To the people who became part of my 2012, I love you guys so much, I miss you and I hope I will see you soon. 🙂 >:D<
Hopefully 2013 will not be just a year of better life, no more miseries, but rather a year of more challenges, more opportunities to learn, more chances to meet new people, then that better life can be achieved. 🙂
Cheers to 2013. Big *stuffs* ahead. :))))))))) *mwah*
