2011: A Look Back

Before this year ends, I would like to recall on ever significant thing that happened in my life. God's gift of life has been a roller coaster ride for me. From happiness down to sadness and now, to happiness again.

The following are the highlights of my 2011:

JANUARY

• Celebrated New Year with my family - I thank God for every new year that He is giving me and my family. Whenever this day comes, I feel like there will be another life, another beginning, another challenges and another things that will come to be thankful for (both trials and blessings). I am so glad that I always have the chance to celebrate it with my family. And so, THANKYOU, LORD!

FEBRUARY

• Bid goodbye to Razelle - This month has been a though month for me and my high school friends. We lose one good friend. We were all shocked but we have nothing to do but hand it all to God who knows everything. It was hard to let go yet we all just thought that we have to be happy because she's now with our Father in heaven.

MARCH

• Celebrated my first year in Broadcore - Last year has been good for me because I was hired at work as a Web Copywriter though I am still not holding my college degree. This year, I am so blessed that I have celebrated my first year in Broadcore (together with Lileth). I am not with Broadcore now but still, I am very grateful that I have worked with them for a year and a month.

APRIL

• Paolo's Graduation - My brother's achievement is mine's achievement too! This is why I am very proud when Paolo graduated in high school. As a bonus, I was invited to be their guest speaker. I am just so happy (though a bit nervous) to inspire all the graduates with the words that I've prepared for them. With that, I felt like I am also giving my brother pieces of advice that he can use in the next stages of his life.

 

• Left Broadcore - It was just March when I celebrated my first year in Broadcore but after a month, I bid goodbye because of some matters. But I didn't felt so bad because I know that each people that I've met will always be a part of my life. Thankyou, Broadcore!

MAY

• Bid goodbye to him - It has been so hard but I now know why all these things happened. I emotionally and physically said goodbye to someone who's been with me for quite sometime but I know that it was the right thing to do. I thought of it a million times and I thank God that He helped me with thatdecision. 
• Celebrated mother's day - Mom will always be the most important person in my life next to God. I love her so much that I can give up everything for her. Every Mother's Day, me and my brother are making sure that she will feel special. I've made a special AVP for her.

JUNE

• Met my loves at Calvento Files - I met them and worked with them for just a week but it felt like I've known them for so long. I feel so comfortable with them and they made me feel they were my true sisters. I love them so and that will never change. 

• Mom's 46th Birthday - Mom's another year is always another thing to be thankful for to God. May God bless her with more years so that I will also have the more chances to make her feel how much I love her. 

• Celebrated Father's Day - We may not be able to live with Papa but we always make sure to also make him feel special during Father's Day. Not living with Papa doesn't mean we love him less. Pao and I love him as much as how me love Mama.

• Got new job - After a month of vacation and after leaving DWIZ, I got another job at the City Government of Antipolo. I thank God for another job and for another family who treated and is treating me as their family. Thankyou, Lord for my new family!

JULY

• Being so busy with my new job, I didn't had the chance to blog anything during this month but this month is Papa's month because it's his month. He celebrated his birthday. I love him so much though we're miles away!

AUGUST

• My 21st Birthday - Binata na ko! Haha! I am so glad to celebrate it with my family and friends. I felt so blessed to have gone this far in my life. I've got material gifts but the best gift that I've received was having another life to live for. THANKYOU, LORD for all the blessings that you are giving me!

SEPTEMBER

• Mama Mary's Birthday - Nothing so important have happened to me on this month but our Mother celebrated her birthday. Happy Birthday to the greatest mother of all!

OCTOBER

• Bid Farewell to Itchan - If February has been a tough month for me and my high school friends, this month has been a tough month for me and my college friends. We lose a very dear friend. But like Razelle, I lift everything to God. I will miss Itchan but in my heart, he will remain alive.

NOVEMBER

• Felt free at last - After 6 months, I felt so free, totally . I've been having a hard time during the past months but this month has been so good that I want to thank God because He made me feel that I will end this month with a big smile on my face :)

DECEMBER

• Celebrated Christmas with the City Government of Antipolo - It was my first time to celebrate Christmas with my new family. I've had a lot of fun. Simple parties were done because we can't afford to have an extravagant celebration because of what happened in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Happy to have them in my life :)

• Celebrated Christmas with Mom and Pao - It is always important for me to celebrate Christmas with my family. I always make sure that I will spend this day with them. 25th of December - we attended mass first then went to SM Masinag to have a simple celebration. We ate, shopped, and watched fireworks together. Oh I love to have simple celebration with them! Simple yet so meaningful. 

 

 

Today is the 30th of December and tomorrow's New Year's Eve. I am so excited to welcome another year with my arms wide open. I will welcome everything that God will give me, whether blessing or trial.

For being a good girl, I've got the following:

some gifts that I've received :)

And as I am always saying, the best thing to end the year is by saying THANKYOU! 

THANKYOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPENED INTO MY LIFE!

P.S.

2012, I will be looking forward to rub elbows with you. I know that you will be a good year for me :)
