2007 was definitely a crazy year. I probably did some of the STUPIDEST things I've ever done in my life but I (hopefully) also learned some of the most poignant lessons. I've also been blessed with some awesome opportunities: PwC, Barkada presidency, to name a couple.
With the exception of Uncle Carl's mild stroke last week, the family's been pretty healthy. Yeah, an accident here or there, but no one really got hurt. Thank God!
People-wise... There are definitely some great new people in my life that I could learn a lot from and make a lot of memories with. Other friends have been distanced and definitely some I thought I'd be able to depend on... well, let's just say I don't anymore. It was great to catch up w/ some old friends, though (Gift Exchange 2007 & Random Glendale Party)! I still need to spend some quality time w/ other strangers.
Evaluating how well I did on the two things I mentioned last year...
- "Be more aware of myself, my surroundings, others, and hopefully, others wants/needs." Wow. I definitely lost sight of that goal. I have done a slightly better job this year than previously, though. I still tend to wander through life once in a while, not quite sure of what's going on or what has been said. I do try to be more conscious of others'; I just haven't done much about it... or at least as much as I probably could have.
- "Do what I say." Yes and no.
- The other night even though it was a b*tch to get there, I went to bMod's performance @ Avalon. I ended up getting there after the guest list had closed so
it ended up being $20 instead of $10. Yikes! Parking there is also a bastard, so I had to shell out $25 for parking... all by my lonesome cuz I couldn't find someone to go w/ me. All cuz I said I'd be there. I ended up having fun, though, and my presence was appreciated so... all smiles afterward! (= - There's quite a lot that I had planned to do, though, that still hasn't been done (i.e. lose weight!) so this will probably stick around for next year's list.
- Do what I say.
- Integrity!
- Stick to goals.
- Be more aware of others/my surroundings and act on that knowledge.
- from watching what I say to watching the road...
- Enjoy life.
- Have a positive/optimistic attitude.
- Make the most of each moment... don't just wait for it to be over.
- Have fun!!! <-- believe it or not, this is really hard for me to do. hahah.
- Spend quality time with the important people in my life.
- Pat
- Family (cousins, immediate family, lola & lolo, etc)
- High school friends
- Barkada members
- Cute-E-board
- Take care of myself...
- physically: exercise, diet, sleeping habits, posture, etc.
- financially: working more, saving more, not splurging, investing?
- emotionally: confide in others and probably blog more.
- mentally: READ! challenge myself
- turning 21
- graduating
- working!!!
Sweet. Can't wait for oh-eight!
