Another year ends, another year passing by, This cycle doesn't seem and will not end. This is one of the things we can never control. And by this, we must make this one memorable for us to take good and happy memories with the coming year.
As the years slowly ends, I begin to reflect on the things I have and failed to accomplish. I realized that there are so many things that could have been better had I done those undone things. But I learned never to regret, and so I promised myself that if any opportunity requires me to do those things. I'll finally make them happen. On the other hand, I achieved victories. First, in the Extemporaneous Speaking which was my first contest in my school and the Carol Fest, which I won together with my classmates. And other ones too, my personal victories. Today I can say, that I have changed, a little, and that change is for the better.
This year proved to be noisy one and a victorious one. Issues are as controversial a thousand times than a blind item about a superstar and our government's actions can already be said to be cryptic, we do not know their real motives. Extrajudicial killings are steadily increasing. The Manila Pen siege and the physical harassment are two of the biggest news to be put on this year's history. Putting that aside, we can see triumphs and success of our fellow countrymen in various fields. There goes Manny Pacquiao, who once again proved his worth in the boxing ring, our Philippine Basketball Team which nearly reached the FIBA finals, which is aready an accomplishment, and just recently, Charice Pempengco, a teenage singer who was reported to be looked for by Ms. Ellen Degeneres, and was invited to her American Show. Despite all the troubles in our administration and our country, who will not be proud when these people, and the like, are making big waves, giving our country international recognition?
New people, new friends, and new experiences. Last June, on the first day of classes, I acquainted myself with people whom I never thought would be my trusted friends. I joined two classes on which I never expected to give me much challenge. First is the Journalism Class which is very rare for this is the class that gives off tremendous work and too many deadlines. (Laughs) Second is the Parliamentary Class on which I previously quit, but then joined again after. I never thought that this year, given that it would be the hardest in my entire high school life (third year), would be, I thought, my happiest.
Lessons learned. The up and down events I have went through this year provided me lessons which I think made me wiser. I learned not to succumb to my first offshoot of temper which gave more time to think and thus doing the right actions. I learned how to consider the situations first, and balance it to make it stable. I succeeded being more trustworthy and reliable as ever in being a friend, a student and a daughter. I learned that I am truly the master of my own fate and lastly, I learned to trust myself to God more for I know, that He will always lead me to the right path.
I am contented with myself now. But I know also, that I have to be a better person as time passes by.
P.S. It's hours before 2008, let's leave all the bad memories behind.
P.P.S. Let's be positive. Let's emulate those ones who learned to smile despite of all their heartbreaking tribulations.
P.P.P.S. Happy 1st birthday my blog!!!
P.P.P.P.S. Have a Merry and Prosperous New Year!!!
