Let's start the year right.


Every year, I usually make a post of what happened in my year, and who were the people I want to thank and say sorry. This year, I should probably add a few more to my habitual post. We'll see then.

"It's not something I'm ashamed of, but it's not something that can be shared easily."

This line started my year, and this line made me decide to learn something this year: Appreciate myself and have a journey of life alone.

2010 was a good year for me, I must say. A lot would definitely agree with me, but mostly for the wrong reasons. More than having what I have today, it is more of I have known a few things about existence. As I recall what the past year has given me, tears wells up on my eyes (as I type this), because for some reason, this year has been the most intimate year I have had. Intimate meaning, the only peole I had in my life were the people who proved to be the people who can stick up with me. I have proven to myself that life alone doesn't suck, but at the end of the day, there would still be people who can be with you til the end of whatsoever.

I decided to make a trip somewhere with my bestfriend, a first actually, I decided to take 5 days off my 2010 to be with my bestfriend in a foreign country, and that trip changed a lot about my life. Somehow, I have appreciated things around me, from the littlest ones to great ones. That trip ended a lot of things, but started a few as well. I became that person of less talk, or I think I am, but more of that person who once in a while rants, tells stories, but nonetheless, most of the time, thoughts, feelings and whatsoever are kept to myself.

I decided this year to give love a shot again after technically more than a year of plain me. Surprisingly, it was probably fate how I came this far to what I have right now when it comes to relationships. I was supposed to be with someone, but ended up being with another. I knew I made the right choice. Up until now, I am still taking each day a step, and luckily, somehow I am surviving. I never regretted anything when it comes to this apect, so I guess I can say it's all good. Yeah, sure it's tough. But nonetheless, each day I hope gets better, and prays that 2011 would be better for us. As for the someone that "got away" probably. I still wish the person well everyday. The person might not know this, but that person's still dear to me, maybe the person will be for a long time. But like I said, I made my choice. And so far I haven't regretted it yet. (hihi. peace to you, crazy person :p)

Family and friends have made me what I am this year. I have spent so much time at home this year, it felt so odd to go out once in a while. Going out meant, dates alone, dates with my bestfriend, shopping with her at times or family dates. That's it. I barely drank or whatsoever this year. Unexpectedly. Very.

My Kpop fandom mellowed down a lot, but I still spazz once in a while, and I try to get myself updated with everything. I still watch a few things or a lot I guess, but don't just say anything. Been into Kdramas a lot too, thanks to my beloved cable operator. So yeah. There. Met a lot of good people too. I barely talk to all of them, but I hope they know that once I've gotten to know a friend, he/she will be a friend forever. Yes. They'll always have me as a friend/sister/unni/whatever they wanna call it.

One of the highlights of this year as well was having a visitor for a month. Yes. It was my first time being a tour guide and being able to be accountable for someone the whole time (yes I know). I may be accountable at work a lot of times, but for a person? I must say, a pretty good job. That visitor was the best thing this year. I never thought someone can fly over 7,000 miles just to be with me. So yeah. I am hella proud. :)

The year ended with me b eing alone, literally. Immediate family went somewhere without me for the first time. I had to spend Christmas at others' place, family still, but it somehow felt different to celebrate it not with my mom and sister. Kinda sad, but I pulled it off. Yesterday, I decided to stay at home alone. YES. I was that brave. But it went by quickly because I was too tired to think and worry about things. And yes. I must stay sleeping the New Year's celebration away was good, because then I realized that I know how to take care of myself, and I know my limits. I needed that time yesterday, to be home alone. So that I can clear my head and I can just rest and enjoy "me" time. What a way to end and start the year. Just right. Weeks of overtime, and then a day of lying down, watching tv, skype, and the like, yes. That's how I wanted my year to end. It was perfect.

Apologies to everyone or anyone whom I have hurt, I am sure there are some, but know that in my heart, I never meant to hurt you or anyone. Things just happen, and that's part of it. There was a reason. And I believe that everything bad can lead to something good, if you just put a positive thought to things. (that's what I learned from someone)

I'd like to thank everyone who made my life this year, my family of course, my bestfriend kara, for being there for me always, because although we had ups and downs, at the end of the day, I know we'll still be there for each other, to my fandom family, Triple S, BoicePH, Quainte family, for making me feel that there will always be friendship with fandom and beyond that, to my YFC-UST Family, that despite lack of communication (which was really my fault), I know that I have you guys to remind me of how life can be without a God, and for reminding me about what path to take and choices to pick, and to that someone. Thank you for believing in me when times comes that I don't. Thank you for everyone and everything that was part of my year. More than being sad or not contented, I feel thankful for the year that passed, because it made me who I am. Good or bad, it was a journey that made everything worth it.

2011 is the year of the rabbit, my year. I am claiming it. I am sure God has planned a lot for each and everyone of us. We'll just have to go through a lot of things everyday. But at the end of the day, whatever happened is a blessing. I am excited for what 2011 can offer. I am excited for a lot of things, but more so, I am excited because I have friends, family, someone, and last but not a least, a great God to be with me for another year. Another path, another way, another journey.

"Now I know why everything that I've tried fell to the floor, because you were in store. There is always a reason."

Everything happens for a reason. May it be good or bad, I am pretty sure that there is something planned. We just have to be patient and believe in the goodness.

May 2011 be happy, merry and blessed. Happy new year. Cheers to life and love! :)

Here we go.

So I am trying to just write it out here. Whether I cry or smile or whatnot. Just for today, I would like to just keep writing what I think and feel. This won't be the last, but I am hopeful that this will help. Today, I found out that I got an A rating for my performance last year. I felt really proud for myself and for a moment I forgot I was lonely. And then I was about to pick up my phone and call. I realized, I don't have anyone anymore to share those with. I lost my bestfriend. So yeah. Felt really sad again. But I can't do anything about it. I finished two reports this week, very breezy. Not that I did not encounter any problems or issues. One I had to return to the field group team for validations, the other is still for review. I also made a questionnaire and a research design, and to be honest I should feel relieved and should feel good about myself. But not having to turn to or talk to, your person, it really makes a difference. A lot of good things or okay...

To whom it may concern

Hello,  I'm just writing down to put my thoughts and feelings into words, and like I say sometimes, when things come out, it becomes real. I guess, this time, this become real. I'm very very sad. It has been months since I have gone to therapy, and I have been in my saddest for quite some time. There are days I felt like giving up, days wherein day and night, all I think about is how I should die, or how to end my life, everything that is hard and hurting, and there are days I feel like I can do anything in this world, fearless and unstoppable.  Yesterday was once again a deal breaker. I felt stuffed and hurt, I felt I was not someone to be proud of, and I felt abandoned. Like I said, maybe it is for the best. I don't intend to win you over again, but I do intend to watch you from afar and just be there for you in case you need someone. I really want to be your friend, I really want to be in your life, whatever way or form. I feel like you're one of the few peopl...

Time Flew By.

I realized that I have not written anything here in forever, and it has been three years since my last note.  I couldn't believe that time flew by fast and that I have drank a cumulative amount of a whole bottle of wine today starting from lunch. I used to dislike wine, but here I am. I have officially drank 4 bottles of wine since May 23, 2020, a bottle of which I think I consumed that same night. Right now, I only have one and a half bottles left of wine, which means I either conserve wine or get myself two more bottles. Go figure what my choice would be.  So how am I? I think I'm better than where I was three years ago, but in some aspects, probably far worse. I have experienced so much the last three years, an emotional and verbal abusive relationship with the last relationship I posted here, started a good relationship with wine also, slowed down in terms of drinking habits, moved jobs, hated my dad more, missed him sometimes as well, lost both grandparents in my dad's...
