What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

Happy New Year! From my dear friends Zooey and Joe (Kapal! Hahaha)

The Year That Was 2011

Originally I wanted this blog to reflect my geeky side and nothing else. I've taken this moment to change that. I've been debating with myself whether or not I'd be making a new and more accessible blog but ended up getting annoyed at my 'ka-artehan.' I started asking myself, why not this blog? What's wrong with it? Nothing. Just being stupid. With that conclusion, voila! No more separate blogs. Hassle din kasi.


Anyway...


It has been a looong year hasn't it? Looking back, it was a great year. Met some amazing people, strengthened friendships, had my faith tested (in incredibly numerous amounts), loosened up more, relearned old lessons, and got a first-hand experience of just what God's perfect timing actually looks like.


That's just a brief summary of how my 2011 was like. To be honest, I don't actually remember the things that happened earlier in the year but I can say this much at least, there was nothing dull during these past twelve months. 


If ever I asked myself in January what my life would be like by the end of the year, I would never have guessed this. I'm actually a little sad that this year will be ending in a few hours and that another stage in my life is going to start. 2012 is beginning to look like a great challenge and I'm not so eager to face it head on. Thank God for great friends right?

Top 10 Lessons Learned in 2011

(not in any particular order)

1. When God's timing presents itself, you'll know it. Step up and present your doubts to God. It helps a lot.
   
2. It takes a lot of courage to be humble when asking for forgiveness. Something I'm still struggling over.
   
3. To unnecessarily worry about things you can't control is a waste of time. It just ends up getting me all irritated.
   
4. That God speaks to us in our prayers. We just have to learn to be still and listen.
   
5. In every season you go through in your life, God provides the means for you to face them if you just allow Him to do it.
   
6. I should learn to be more careful with my words. I find that I'm overly conscious about what I say to other people when the occasion calls for it. Still, there are times when hurtful words just slip out and I go back to point #2.
   
7. Friendship should not be taken lightly.
   
8. Sometimes I get frustrated at my inability to help a friend in need. It takes me a while to understand that the help that friend actually needs is something I can't provide.
   
9. Technology can never replace the intimacy of talking to a person face-to-face.
   
10. Tagish. The word of the decade.

I said in my previous post that I would make a summary of the things that happened this year but I ended up with this. Oh well. It's something at least. 

New Year...

...is close! In fact, there's roughly twenty-three hours and fifty minutes left 'til 2012. Can you believe it! 2011 was so eventful for all of us geeks and I hear it's going to get better next year. But alas, I was so NEGLECTFUL. Why the heck did I not blog about all the greatness of 2011? Egads again! I am going to make a summary of it in my next post. MARK MY WORDS!

It. Is. Going. To. Be. DONE.
