Hello again! It is the last day of the year, and as usual, I am writing a year end blog post: a tradition myself has been made for like 5 years (?) luuuuh is that long? I am a bit under the weather today, and been busy these last few days, kaya this blog has nothing really special, unlike the previous ones. No vlogs included, or monthly highlights, etc. Just to wrap up the year.
This year has been very extra special. I’ve been into many places, experienced unusual events, and met new people. If I would analyze these things, I cannot believe these things happened. It’s like me not being my usual self and getting out of my comfort zone. Actually, before 2016 ends, I was not thinking of what 2017 would bring me, and after a year, as I look back, I realized that this year had turned my life a hundred and eighty degrees. Because on behalf of these, I am still living with the usual; still have my loving family, the same circle of friends, the same job I had for the past 6 years and with the same people I’ve been working with. But certain events of this year were exceptional and my feet had brought me to places I never thought I would ever be.
So this year, after all of these twist and turns, I think the best tagline that would sum up my year would be:
“Live life with no regrets”
Yes, because I believe that I did not only just pray for things to happen, but I make things happen for me, so that in the end, I would not regret on things I can do but I didn’t pushed through. There are times in the past that I would sulk and resent because I choose to not make it happen, but I could. This time, I choose to do three things: to shut my eyes, decide to do it anyway, and pray for things to happen. Then it all happened!
I am not just lucky for these things, but also had been very blessed. Not all people can experience such great things in life. We have as much wants as we could ever think of, but we prioritize the needs first, and that’s the proper thing to do. And I am truly blessed for having both.
I am simply thankful for this year. It has been a big resolution to all my fears and to things I thought I could never do. Parang walang masyadong negatives this year, and I hope and I pray so hard at this moment na ganito lang every year. SA MASAYA LANG! GANON! Hahahahah! I hope that this brand new year would bring me and my family, and my friends as well, a blessed and fruitful year, and for myself, the courage and bravery I had to conquer the adventures ahead of me.
Wrapping up the year, I had here the best of all the best moments I had this 2017:

There's still so much of this year that words cannot describe and was not captured by pictures. Still, I'll definitely bring the memories of this year throughout this lifetime. These memories would always be a treasure to keep. These moments had made me more stronger and determined to accomplish what I need and what I want for myself. I believe these experiences would be a bridge to more life accomplishments in the future, and would help me to check off those things out of my bucket list.
Thank you Lord, for bringing me those extra special adventures of a lifetime, for those wishes granted, for those strength to accomplish everything, for giving me the capacity to work, earn, then travel and attend those concerts. Thank you also for those people who stayed with me and the new people I met along this journey, and made my year an exceptional one. Naniniwala akong mas higit pa sa mga ito ang mangyayari sa'kin ngayong 2018.
Well, that's it, 2017. This was way shorter than the previous ones, eh? This year was way too overwhelming for me. There are way too many new adventures I had, as for other people also, whom I've witnessed drastic changes in their lives. But for myself, I am still that same twenty-something gal who had just driven to exploration of life. Charot!
"New Year, Same Me"
(Oo, magbago na kayong lahat, nandito pa din ako hahahah!)
Charot lang! I would still welcome changes wholeheartedly, as long as hindi naman ako nakakapahamak ng iba, 'di ba? 😁
Okay, I'll say goodbye to this year, and to this blog post for real. Sorry walang halong kaartehan, ni emoji or gif or stickers wala man lang akong nailagay na matino. Hahahahah! Di bale, this 2018, I'll go on a major blog revamp. I promise! I just need time to study things.
"Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing"
