“ But, as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive. I mean, I know it could have been worse—a lot worse—but for me, it was all I could have handled at the time. And I learned from it.”
— Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
2011 Reflection Challenge
Day 1: A few things you will never forget in 2011.
Day 2: Relationship(s).
Family: This year has been fairly good to me and my relationship with my family. Though it had its ups and downs, I still would have to say that family to me is everything. I just felt that this year went by to fast that i regret not spending time with them as much as i wanted to. This year became hectic to the point where we, as a family didn’t have enough time to have family gatherings as much as the past years. But what made me realize is that time is too precious. The time i spend with family, even for the littlest hours, never felt so great. We learned that even with our busy schedules, we find time every week to at least make time for each other. Its something i look forward to every week. My family will always be my everything.
Friends: My social life this year became incredibly amazing! I’ve met so many wonderful friends who made living worth while. I got close to the people I would have never thought i would, and became distant to those who I thought would be there. Its crazy how life works out. You lose friends, but gain better ones. Lesson learned: Friends will be there, but TRUE friends will never leave your side no matter what. To those who were there for me, thank you. You made this year memorable for sure. :)
Guys: “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.” If I had a chance to go back in time and change things, I wouldn’t. Relationship ends because it wasn’t meant to be. Second chances may happen but only to end things right. People come into your life to fulfill a need. The reason could be anything, but once its done let it go and move on. Their story in your life has been completed. As much as you want that person to stay with you forever, somethings are better letting go.That maybe sometimes its better to love yourself first before giving your heart to someone else. You can do so much to save the relationship, but there’s always a capacity where you need to stop before harming yourself. That no matter how hard you try, things will never be perfect and if its really not meant to be.. its really not meant to be. “If I wanted so badly to be with the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.” :) I can finally say, I’m happy and content and finally starting the year 2012 right.
Since i got a new laptop for Christmas, I can now blog more :) 2011 Reflection Challenge! Lehhhgo.
2011 Reflection Challenge
Day 1: A few things you will never forget in 2011.
Year 2011 seems to end pretty fast. This year had plenty of memories i will never forget. I am super thankful to have met amazing people this year who made living worth while. Not only did i make plenty of amazing friends, but I also accomplished a strong bond with wonderful sisters who completed me. I never thought i would accomplish something so great that has fully changed a different side of me. Turning 21 was maybe one of the most unforgettable experience ive had this year. Finally being legal made me lose plenty of sleep but definitely worth it. Having a Disneyland pass for 2011 also made this year even better! Made a few trips to Disneyland with wonderful friends and family which I will never forget. Its those days i miss the most since my pass has reached its expiration. But then again hello 2012 Disneyland pass :) ! This year seems to be one of the most important years of my life. Not only do I feel so accomplished but my life has changed. A new chapter in my life began this year. Half way through the process of my culinary/business management major, and a few more months to go and i’ll be graduating! Next thing I know, I’m off to Paris leaving for my externship completion. This year is a year of REALIZATION. Few things I wished I realized sooner. But its never too late to change and I promised myself that this one should be worth the wait. It’ll be the best of the best, that nothing could ever be compared. It will be one of a kind that will last till forever. But other than that some things are better unsaid. I’m ready for the year 2012! Leeehhgo! :)

…the mess to clean up after a party
because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
…the clothes that fit a little too snug
because it means I have enough to eat.
…my shadow who watches me work
because it means I am out in the sunshine.
…the spot I find at the far end of the parking lot
because it means I am capable of walking.
…all the complaining I hear about our government
because it means we have freedom of speech.
…that lady behind me in church who sings off key
because it means that I can hear.
…lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing
because it means I have a home.
…my huge heating bill
because it means that I am warm.
…weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day
because it means that I have been productive.
…the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours
because it means that I am alive.
Midnight snack :) white chocolate..
