My 2011 Year Ender

It has been quite a while since I've written or typed or published a year-ender blog entry.  It's quite odd that I look back at the year 2011 and I think to myself, "Crap! What happened? I can't remember a thing." And so I probably have lost grip on the things that have been happening and might have been too focused on the tasks at hand that I have forgotten what as happened in the year that was, 2011.


I shall now try to go back through the months of 2011 and try to see if I have learned anything. Or just stating all my learnings and realizations here would be helpful to me and to you, whoever you are reading this entry. I hope that by the end of this entry, I have been reminded of the things that was 2011 and that you have learned something from me. I'm very much hoping that you would be touched somehow by whatever I will type in this entry of mine. So here goes nothing...


Realization #1:


Take Risks. Take risks only if you are prepared to face the consequences and challenges of the action that you have done. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that if  you think that it's worth taking the risk, then take it but be sure that no matter what the consequence of your actions are that you will learn from it and store it in your inventory as part of your arsenal of surviving this game called life.


Realization #2:


Opposites attract each other, but there's a roughly around 10% chance that you'd find someone who's the same as you are and still be in a very good relationship. It's just that when you wanna find someone who will be your long time partner, don't go judging them at first look like, "Oh! He/She is different from me. I think we'll be good together." 


Then again, who am I to tell you how to look for that lifetime partner when I don't even have a boyfriend. I have been single since birth but I give out pretty good relationship advice.


Realization #3:


Realizations come from the most unlikely places. You know how people tell you that things happen for a reason? Well, it's true. Everything does happen for a reason, but not all reason to everything is meant to be figured out. There would be awesome days where you would just tell yourself, "Oh, so that's why this happened" or "Oh, that's why I was here and I made that decision." But some or most of the time, you just don't know why but you're put into a favorable situation. You might even just realize something else.


Realization #4:


Love the people, Hate the job. Have you ever felt like going to work and thinking, "Crap! I hate my job!" but then all of a sudden you see the people you work with and you're all, "Good thing I have these people around me." You see, you just have to find one thing that's good in every situation. I think that's one of the keys to survival.


Realization #5:


If you need help, seek help. This could mean a lot of things from how to do simple tasks to how to cope with life. Every person in this world needs help with something. We live symbiotically meaning what I do benefits you. But you may have the question, what if what he does, doesn't benefit me at all? Well then what you're doing might benefit him. Still symbiotic, right?


So I guess at the end of it all...I still remain the same person as I was last year. Although there might have been minor changes, but I'd like to think that my values and virtues are still the same. The events of everyday life makes us change in such a way that we figure out how to deal, cope, adapt, to the ever progressing days of our lives.


My final say is that: We shouldn't just make the Final Day of a YEAR important, but we must cherish EACH DAY of the YEAR because it only happens once. We may not remember each day but at least somehow, we should hope that we have learned something from it. :)


Cheers to a new year. You're 2011 may have been rough and bitter and dark but there's always a brand new day. A brand new day to change the way things are. Oh, and don't think too much about the future because that's why you tend to forget today. :)


One more think, count your blessings..it makes you all giddy inside even if you have counted just one, but I doubt it.


Thank you for taking time to read this. That's one blessing I've counted, already. :">
