As per our usual tradition, we had our annual family reunion with my father's side of the family. Lots of great food and it feels nice to see some relatives and cousins whom I haven't seen in awhile and all grown up now. We also had some relatives from Norway and Chicago coming home this year to celebrate the holidays. We played Bingo like we usually do but I did not win anything unlike last year but my brother did. We also exchanged gifts and I got a couple of nice things like some shirts and a perfume. I am surprised and a bit disappointed that I didn't receive a lot of money though. I was looking forward to buying some new stuff.
2013 already didn't start well for me as I had to restore my iPod because it deleted all files from it and it wouldn't sync with iTunes.
2012 was not so good for me. Although the real life events may be colorful, my personal life was nowhere memorable in a way that I would like to remember it. The year went by so fast that I barely had any significant positive changes in my life.
There were a couple of highlights during the year though. I had been part of a wedding entourage and I can't believe it's almost a year since it has happened. I've watched several concerts this year and probably the most I had in a year. Not forgetting to mention that I rode a public bus in this year alone more than the total of any other time in my life. I also saw a slight improvement of my body though I have to work harder. I also got to watch several great movies this year such as Spiderman,The Avengers,The Hunger Games and The Perks of Being A Wallflower.
I didn't make resolutions or goals early this year because I knew I won't be able to fulfill them and I was right. I did not really discover or been to a new place this year aside from knowing how to travel to and from SM North EDSA, nor learned a new skill/talent or any achievement to be proud of. My social life hasn't been that buzzing either with limited interactions outside my social circle and the fact that HR staff of companies I applied to are the ones I remember as new people I've met is just sad.
But I don't really want to prolong this blog by posting how the past year has been so unfruitful and I'm leaving it by saying that I'm looking forward to a brighter year. I hope to discover something new for myself and maybe try to get myself involved on something that I can be proud of.
