What 2012 taught me..

Yesterday night, my friends and I went out for dinner. During our talk a friend suggested to share our year-end evaluations. Since I've already blogged about how my year went, I was quick to answer his question. His next topic was to complete the statement: 2012 taught me to....

I haven't really thought of the lessons or general theme of the closing year so I got to think about my answer. And here's what I shared.

"2012 taught me to just keep on trying. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I won't. No matter what the outcome may be, what's important is that I have tried that I have exerted effort to reach my dream. Even though I take things a day at a time, not really making long term plans, I still have goals for whatever opportunities and I would make every step to take advantage of that chance. I believe that it's better to have tried (in love, in career, and in life) than to regret not trying at all."

So that's it. And with this, I end my 2012 with my 100th post for the year. Here's to a hundred more next year!

Friends, I'd love for you to share what 2012 taught you.. :) Cheers to us!

  2. this post reminded me to have my own reflection on things I learned this year...

    maganda naman ang iyong natutunan dahil through trying, what matters is we learn regardless of the results... keep it up...

    ako siguro what I learned is to listen more....

    pareho naman ng outcome, we learn...

    happy holidays!

  8. 2012 taught me to keep my loved ones close, and to keep in touch when we're apart. The end of the world scare taught me to appreciate my loved ones above all.

  10. 2012 saw me getting to know myself more. dami natuklasan. taught me to take things in stride din, i tend to overdo things kasi. all in all 2012 was relatively harder for me, pero dami ko natutunan. i have no regrets, and thankful din as well.

    a happy and better new year sa'yo hustin. :)

  15. baka late na ako.. pero this made me think on what 2012 has taught me.. i guess, to take chances and stand for what you believe in.. lagi naman un ang maririnig natin, but still, it's the way of life na dapat mong sundin to know kung tama ka ba or mali which can result to improvement, for yourself and for others.. pak!

    saka pala meron pa,, ung choose your battles and choose when to stop..

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers: 1) "You don't know. You feel . Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes." 2) " I just felt it . Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other . I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko." 3) "Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.: 4) " Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point . He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified." 5) " I just knew somehow .Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago." 6) "Sig...

Was there ever a time in your life when you first heard a song and felt that the song was written for you? That it might be your theme song for a certain moment or chapter in your life? Parang kiling me softly with his song lang ang peg.
