2015: Year of Strength

December 31, 2015 - the last day of one of the most challenging years in my life.


A lot of things has happened the past year but one thing that made 2015 memorable for me is that I realized a lot of things this year. I realized emotions that I never thought existed inside me. I realized that I can be forgiving - that I can extend my patience. I realized that I'm not as weak as I thought I was. In fact, I'm strong. 2015 had been the year that I realized that I can endure any pain as long as I trust that things will get better for me. 2015 is the year I realized that life is not a fairy tale and if things are not okay, trust that they will get better.

2015 is the year when I thought I wasn't good enough for anything. It is the year when I'm most pessimistic and I was never a pessimist. It was the year when I stopped believing in myself. It was the year when I was at my lowest. It was the year when I stopped believing in love, in myself, in others, but it never made me stop believing in God. 2015 is my lowest and I'm glad that 2015 is about to end.

As I enter a new year, I'm leaving all of the hate behind. Of course it won't happened right away but I want to make myself a promise that in the coming year, I will cry less and appreciate more. In the coming year, I will make things better. I will stop to wait for "better" to come to me. I'm bringing it to my life. "Better" is not something I should wait for. It is something that I should claim.

Thank you, 2015 for the realizations. 2016, show me what you got.

HENERAL LUNA: What Every Filipino Need

So, I just watched Heneral Luna and after the movie, only one thing came to mind, nakakalungkot maging Pilipino.

Dilemma of Existence

Few days ago, someone told me that I can be an excellent journalist. He told me that I have the skill to convince people about my ideas. He also told me that he sees a bright future ahead of me. And believe it or not, at that moment, that's what I needed to hear.

How, Albus?

Forever at 18? I Don't Think So.

"Forever" - it's one of the most things people my age expect their relationships to achieve but I think it's ridiculous. I know, I sound like a bitter girl who happens to be single at the same time but I just don't see "forever" at eighteen years old. In my total honest opinion, all people at my age right now are too young to talk about forever.

Positive >

Staying positive. I guess that would be the theme of my January 2014. Of course, there had been some drama considering that my life is like a big soap opera. But one thing, maybe the only thing, that got me through all those things is by being positive.

2014 Belongs To Me.

My 2013 was filled with ups and downs. It had been the year when I attended my first ever summer class, the year when I was left to live alone for some time, the year when I had to cope with the new responsibilities ahead of me, the year when I felt nothing but a victim; it is also a year of happiness, it's the year when I had my 18th birthday, the year when I met new people in school since I have a new block, the year when I bonded with the best people in the world.
