Looking Back: Farewell 2011!

I am sorry. It took me ages to finally post this. I'm supposed to post this on the 1st day of the year but all my files were gone, including the pictures. Good thing happened, they're all revived. Okay, it's been a month and I missed posting my 100th day in Wordpress {last January 9, 2012}. *insert sad face with tears here* Anyway, I still have to post this. Better late than never :">

When new year approaches, recalling events of the previous year is usually taken for granted due to the intense brain storming of what to achieve in the coming year. So, what do I do? I'll, of course, start with 2011.  I'm not the type of person to just forget about the past {Well there are things that I don't want to remember but not everything}. I don't believe that past is past.

What went well?

I first & last attended PROM {since I didn't want to attend during Junior days}.

I graduated from High School {with honors :">}

I helped planned my sister's Debut.

I had lots of partying nights.

I entered University as a college student {freshmen days <3}.

I watched dozens of Korean Dramas.

I met my Super Friends in College {BEBZ}.

I got my dream phone {iPhone 4}.

I visited Cebu.

I passed the Michigan Test.

I spend Christmas wearing Pajamas.

Those where the events that went extensively well. There are more to be mentioned on what didn't went well though. It is normal to have difficulties in the span of twelve months. I actually had a lot of them and those made my life, somehow, balanced. There's nothing much to achieve for a seventeen-year-old girl aside from excelling in school and having true friends. At least, that's what I believe in. I rarely take risks and I'm not adventurous enough to explore every bit of what life has to offer. In short, I'm living a boring life.

But I'm making my boring life, worth living. I don't want to enumerate every failure, embarrassment, loss and difficulties that I had last year because it isn't really valuable to begin with. Let's just say that I missed a lot of once-in-a-life-time opportunities due to circumstances that can't be changed at the moment.

2011 was good enough to be called a year. I didn't loathe it but I didn't love it like how I loved the past years which are a lot better. I'm not saying that 2011 was an ultimately epic fail year for me. It's just a sad year to live again {thinking about the really bad memories} but it was a happy year because of the twelve mentioned above.

Farewell 2011! I might not had a blissful year of 2011 but I learned a lot how to value people and things.
