Chyeah to 2011!

(Because it's tradition.)

So I bid to you goodbye, 2011.

I honestly don't remember so much of my 2011, except for the summer and of course the last few months of it..

Well.. Here are some dates.. July 24, 2011. August 19, 2011. November 11, 2011. November 16, 2011. November 30, 2011. December 12, 2011. December 16, 2011.

Like every year, this year (from what I remember) was an emotional roller coaster.

This year was such a struggle when it came to matters like letting go, moving on and keeping it together. There have been so much breakdowns I couldn't keep track anymore but looking back, indeed they all made me better. Maybe, even.. Resilient.

Like last year, 2010, my birthday this year was really really really unforgettable. (oh you know, Marata holding cupcakes and singing you a happy birthday song.)

Some feuds were started this year.. some still left unresolved.. but if they were meant to stay that way, it's sad, but i'd let that be.. Though I still hope for reconciliation..

This year has also been such an adventure.. It is of so many things I didn't think I could do but ended up doing anyway.. My favorite? 800m Zipline Ride, suspended 150 ft in the air with the view of the beaut of the sea and the mountains..

I'd want to elaborate on everything.. but I won't.. I'd like to look back at this blog and think that 2011 was a good year.. Despite everything that has happened.. so to sum it all up, here's phrase I'd love to remember 2011 by..

I loved and I lost.. And I am soon to find..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's to 2011.. To heart breaks and friendships.. To adventures and lessons learned [the hard way].. To passion and compassion.. To living by love and failing and realizing it was all worth the risk.. To frustrations and dreams shattered.. To picking it all up again.. CHEERS!!! AND CHYEAH!!!

Father, thank you for giving me great adventures. Thank you for giving me great experiences with even greater lessons that come with it. Thank you that in You I find content and peace and though life isn't always kind, you always give me something to hold on to. Thank you Father for your perfect love, though I haven't always been perfect. Thank you Lord that I am Yours.

To Hazel and Thea, to making school more bearable, thank you. To making everything more bearable, actually. Many many many thanks. :')

To Ate Bea and our adventures of a lifetime. and our "oh you know's". Thank you!

To my DevStud buddies, for being there.. for being so passionate.. and compassionate.. and for being viral.. To everything.. Cheers!

To my dad and mom.. to the guidance and well up-bringing.. Thank you. I love you.

To the men who came, and left. and left a mark. Thank you.

To my Kuya who I've come to appreciate more this year.. I love you.

and to everyone else who was a part of this year, no one is a small part.. to all of you, thank you.. thank your for splatting some color to my rather black and white or somewhat grayscale life..

To love and how it broke my heart.. and well, put it back together again.. Here's to you! *Cheers*

Looking forward to a crazy 2012!

Pledge.

Because I have already lost some weight this year, I was planning to, well, take it a step higher. So this is my Health Pledge for next year. :)

- Less to no more Fastfood.

- No more carbonated drinks.

- No more crisps.

- Sleep early.

- Not miss breakfast.

- Drink more water.

- Get back to my jogging routine again.

I don't want it to be ambitious.. Cause I need it to be attainable :)

We found Love.

For the first time after everything that has happened,

I finally cried.. and it was for you and because of you..

And I may not really know how this story will end..

Know that anything and everything was nothing but true..

Stars

She was lying upside down with the stars as her view

She was wondering why her heart had skipped a beat or two..

Was it because of the beauty of the stars up above?

Or was it because she had seen the beauty of love?

He placed his palms over her eyes and asked if she still saw the lights

But in that moment it was not the stars but his light that shone bright..

She felt him there, just a few inches away

She had wished this was just not another of those days..
