The Year that was and to come
2005 opened many avenues for me. The year made me realize that I could do good in the speech department. The trainings I had in Cebu and Manila helped bring out the best in me. Though I still get butterflies in my stomach when I am to speak in front of a crowd, I am more confident now that I could get out of it with grace.
The year also showed me which kind of work I would self-willingly stick with for the rest of my life and that is serving people. If love for work or the one that makes you forget time is what they call PASSION, I think this is it for me. Whichever work I land in the future, now I know that something that could make me reach out to people or that is people-oriented is what will give me this sense of completeness.
The year also taught me that I can be who I want to be if I am just to work hard on it. Years before, I was always complaining to my mom how my body gets easily exhausted with my daily duties. Last year, I took it on myself to overcome it by doing more things than I could handle. I have literally stretched myself from one task to another. And true enough, I was able to be more productive. Now, I am akin to my four-year-old cousin who is hyperactive and unstoppable.
2005 also give me the freedom from a long lost love which I tried to hold on to for years. I got the much-sought closure and I thanked heavens that I am finally over the guy.
Friends? This year I have come to realize who are the ones who can be trusted as I am inclined to trust just anybody. Now, I am happy with the set of friends I now have and I luxuriate in the comforts of their companies.
Designs…I’ve finally driven my mind back to designing houses which I love doing. Though I am not an Archi or CE grad, this is one thing that fascinates me the most and the fruits are two lovely house designs which I can make use of in the future.
I hope 2006 will open more opportunities for me to participate in life’s wonderful events. I guess, I’d like to do or have the following next year:
- a new GREAT love maybe…
- for the creative juices to continually stir in my head so I can produce more writings (and to be able to come up with good stuffs like the online blogs I often check)
- to go to law school or not – that is the question. yes, it can lead me to more public servicing but will it not rob me off my ideals? hmmm…
- a house for me and my family (God-willing)
- read more books and watch more films
- to know that using shades is not faux pas but can really help protect my eyes from the glares and other hurtful entities =) (I’m just not into it)
- write a children story (or hopefully storIES) with illustrations and maybe publish it if I meet someone who can help refer me to the right people
- try painting as another medium for self-expression
- take band practice seriously (and try to learn drums maybe as being on vocals is kinda’ boring me really)
- take more good photos
- continually worship reggae music
- decide if I am better off with a tan (READ: I get happy) or a fair skin (READ: others are happy)
- be more concerned with what I should wear and not just get in whatever I grab from my closet. i tell you, clothes can affect your mood and others’ =)
- tutor at least one child this year (I bet it would be fun and self-fulfilling)
- SAVE! especially from transpo expenses
- live a simple life
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
