2011

Happy birthday to a new year. 2011 went by pretty quickly without me having really accomplished much. Although it really was a year of many firsts. I guess the step to refuse anymore allowance from my parents and start earning my own allowance really made me more independent and really made me think twice in spending my money (although I must say I did spend quite a bit on food).

I did quite a bit of traveling in 2011 as well and though it may really seem quite a feat for a student, it really hurt my pocket. I visited Hainan, Taiwan, Japan and a short getaway last December at Malaysia. I'm thankful for the wonderful opportunities to have been able to travel so much last year. This year, as of now, I have to see where my money takes me, especially with the exchange programme in mind next year.

School's about to start and I'm really looking forward to it. There's not much time left in being a student and before I know it, I'll soon be working. Looking back, I miss those secondary school and jc days dearly. I feel so old now! :( Being old is one thing. Being old AND wise is another. I felt 2011 wasn't a very fruitful year for me not because I do not know how to be grateful that I have been blessed so much but because I felt I haven't grown as much in my character as I want it to be.

I know 2012 will be an exciting year. I do not want to be a boring urban resident. I want to see people, I want to interact, I want to learn, I want to discover.

2012 awaits! I know it will be better than 2011. :)
