My 2008
There was nothing really special for the year passed. Although I can say that I have gained a lot of interests, knowledge, confidence, friends, plans and dreams.
I did discover my interest in traveling. Perhaps it's already in me. I just didn't have anyway on how to express my love for traveling. Well, until now actually. I have no time to travel and I haven't gotten a ride in an airplane. Again, I will fulfill it someday. I'll travel as much as I could and as far as i could imagine. I want to be in different places, you know, different culture and food. I have also discovered that I am actually interested in different foods. From sweets to bizarre foods. Interesting really. I also discovered that I like to cook -that I am now trying to cook and discover different recipes and ways in how to cook.
I have gained Knowledge. Knowledge about things I never was interested of. People I never thought I will be interested in. I don't know. I started reading books. Novels. And I actually thought books are boring. Guess what? I was wrong. See? I didn't know something about that in myself. I have also gained knowledge about myself -thanks to the books. Thanks to the authors behind that I so admire. Just the fact that they can write, I mean, really write. Amazing. Again, I have discovered that I would like to write a book. I still don't know on what about, But I will make sure I'll try.
Confidence. This is something people think I have a great deal of. They're wrong. If they only knew how much I can be conscious of -about how I look, speak, mistakes i could make. GOD KNOWS HOW I GET NERVOUS when I am in front of a lot of people. I am really not confident in myself you know. One factor is my body-built. I don't know. I am fat. Maybe that is why. Plus I am conscious of how i speak. TO SUM IT UP: I AM AFRAID OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT THINK OF ME. Well, that was before. That was this early 2008. Lately, I changed perspectives. Funny how it seems, I really did a lot of reflection and activities that myself only knows. I have debated a lot of arguments with myself on how to defeat that LACK OF CONFIDENCE that I was. Now, I only do my best in everything. I do my best. That is what matters.
Friends. I love meeting other people. And now, I have gained a bunch of friends that are fun and witty, like me. I am happy that I can actually make friends that easily. From my OJT (on the Job Training) to my major's lower batches. I feel happy and fulfilled for I will end my college life with new acquaintances -that hopefully will last.
Plans. Yes, this I have a lot of. I guess when you are about to end something and will start another one, you'll need a lot of planning -on how to do both ending and starting. I have a lot of plans to myself and my family. Thinking about it makes me want to graduate more. Now that's the spirit isn't it?
And now, Dreams. I did gain and discovered a lot of dreams. Actual and potential. It's up to me. I'll make it real you know. I really dream of traveling, first around the country, later Asia, then World. I dream of buying my own house and car. I dream of giving my parents only the best and finest there is. I dream of migrating to Australia or to New Zealand. Dreams. They are still dreams now, I'll make it happen. At least I'll try.
I won't mention anymore on what events did I just realize these dreams, plans, knowledge, confidence, friends and interests. Sure these experiences are the root of my motivation and the fruit of my 2008. THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE MY 2008 A ROLLER COASTER ONE. I LEARNED A LOT. THANK YOU.
