This year, I may have lots of ups and downs but no matter how bitter 2012 made me there are still things that made this year worth living. There maybe pages in this entire year I left blank but that doesn't mean life is empty. Maybe I had too much to say that I leave everything unspoken. Someone told me "Count your blessings not the missing" So here it is let me count the blessings I have:
♥ A home sweet home I won't bargain to any place near my work no matter how tiring it takes to travel back and forth.
♥ My parents who love, understand, and support me no matter how hard-headed I am
♥ My siblings for doing me a favor every time I ask
♥ Loving nieces and nephews despite their annoying kakulitan
♥ My friends who are willing to listen, isang tawag ko lang andyan na nanginginig pa
♥ My pet Yumi, though I rarely let her in my room. I love the way she wags her tail every time I come home.
♥ My gadgets??? Ahahaha
♥ My books though it takes a lot of courage to stay awake facing the pages of it :D
♥ The dishes my brother cooks, making me hungry just by looking at it
♥ The tawa moments I have with my mother every morning
♥ Another birthday celebration, spent with loved ones at home, at work, and someone across the miles :P
♥ Celebrated my 5 years in IBM with a rewarding experience of being one of the Top Talents in 2012. I think I will consider a promotion this time.
♥ For surviving Habagat
♥ For every wishes granted this year. Gigantic or even the smallest things I whisper to the Lord. Thank you
♥ That someone who recently makes me smile everyday ^_^
♥ For every awful moment that turned delightful by His grace
These are some of the blessings that highlights this year. One big reason to be thankful and move forward to the coming year/s. Lord, thank you for all the blessings you've given me. I know, I am not your most dutiful child and I sometimes take your blessings for granted. Thank you for those times that you made me happy and for the people you allow to join me this year. For those who stayed and had to go, thank you. 2013 be nice and I'll be nicer ahahaha. Happy New Year everyone. Count your blessings not the missing. If there's nothing to count, make yourself one :)
With these bountiful blessings, it is such a shame if I don't have something to give in return. So this year, I will manage to improve the things that I can, little by little (just being honest). Life is not a lottery prize that you can win instantly.
♥ Minimize my tardiness at work or any meet ups that I compromised.
♥ Have more time with my family.
♥ Have more conversations with my parents
♥ More bonding moments with my siblings
♥ More playtime with my nieces and nephews
♥ Catch up with friends that I took for granted :D (For those who stayed I'll make it up to you, for those who become distant I'm really sorry, hope I can still make it up to you)
♥ Sleep well
♥ Live a healthy life, though I cant promise to break my bad habits I'll do my best!
♥ Be less emotional
♥ Drink lots of water
♥ Be more heartful
A NEW YEAR'S EVE RITUAL
(something to share)
Many ancient cultures believe in the magic of New Year's Eve to cleanse yourself of anything from the old year that you don't wish to take into the coming one. Be it fears or regrets, heartache or painful memories, ill-health or bad habits, this is the time you can leave the past behind and move, unburdened, into the future.
First light a fire. Then take a piece of paper and write a list, or use pictures, or some other symbol to represent the things you want to be rid of and, at the stroke of midnight, throw them into the flames.
As they burn away, sparks will well and truly fly. So make a wish. Because it will be carried on these sparks, sending your hopes and dreams out to the universe, to be blown by the wind, into the New Year. . .
