2012: Reflection

I always do reflection every year-end, but this will be the first time I will post my reflection in this blog. What is this about? Well, I will write here the memories of this year, includes also the lessons I learned in this year's experience. Sounds great, right? So, here it is.

I have a strong faith in God. I know God knows everything that happens in my life. God gives me the things I need, and oftentimes, the things I pray for.

I remember, I prayed for a Birthday Wish to see the woman I love. On the day of my birthday, I really have seen her, though for a very short time. Still, that completed my birthday. I really thanked God for that. Guess what, the next day, I saw her again. And, she sang me a birthday song very loud. She doesn't know how she made me happy. But God knows how happy I am. Thank you very much!

I have prayed very much for a scholarship for my tuition. When I applied for it last year, I asked God's presence and guidance. I worked for the school in exchange for the scholarship. And, one semester this year, I didn't worked for the school yet I was granted the scholarship. Just recently, I was given the scholarship again, and I knew that this will be continuous until I graduate. This scholarship really means a lot for me, this scholarship is really a "need" for me. I thank God. He knows I need it. He knows. Now, I don't have to worry for my tuition, I just have to do my part and that is to study very well in school. Thank you God! :)

After the school year 2011-2012, I find myself very tired from school. March 31, I asked God one blessing. Just one blessing. Suddenly, on that day, a blessing appeared. @CloseupPH announced that I have a VIP Seat on a TV Show, Party Pilipinas.  So, the next day, my sister and I went to Party Pilipinas and watched the artists perform LIVE. I even had a picture from some of the beautiful artists on the network. This was a perfect trip for me after a stressful school days. Thank you, Close Up Philippines! Thank you, God! :)

This year, I experienced the most challenging year for studying. I almost failed in one of my subject. But, I didn't lose hope in my course, instead, I studied very hard. Almost sleepless nights just to get perfect scores and climb up from the downfall. Of course, that is with the help of God. I pray to God for each of my quizzes and activities. I did it well. I got a high grade, though not very high, but it's high. I'm satisfied with what grade my effort deserves. Still, this year made me realize hat I should study hard for my career if I really want to achieve my dreams. Honestly, when I take quizzes or exams, I think God is watching me doing my best. Actually, I think He is cheering for me. :) Thank you God. :) "God has to break you in order to build you."

This year, I wrote of a story that was given recognition in Chicago, USA. Well, I write for people to read. I want to spread knowledge and wisdom to my readers, also to entertain them sometimes. Until, someone told me that a post in my blog was put in their website based in Chicago. I am very happy, I don't expect it. With that, I became more inspired to write more in any genre. As long as it's worth reading and worth the reader's time. Thank God. I know, He gave this recognition for me because he knows I love blogging.

 Because this year brought me closer to God, I became more conscious of my actions. When I do inappropriate things, I feel guilty. This makes me want to do good things to people. I even noticed that I am more of a soft heart now. Hey, not a gay. But a man who can easily forgive people and concerns many people. This is the best change that happened to me this year. Patience is a virtue. I am more patient now. Patience to my studies, patience to the wrongdoings of people, patience to understand people, patience to wait for the right time and patience for many things.

The greatest transformation to me happened this year. Love life consumes much of my time, because before I think love is the greatest inspiration. This year, I disregarded love life. I put my focus on my dreams. To study so I can achieve my dream. So, my study habits became very great. I am able to study very well now. Now is the time to focus on my dreams. I have so much time to find love after achieving my dreams. My ambitions are now higher and I can see clear results. Thank you God! I asked you to put me on the best I can be, you made me a good student for my dreams. I know, when I become successful on my career, I can be a better man for the woman I will marry.

For now, these are all I remember. Hoping I could still remember memories and lessons by tomorrow so I can update this post. These are all for now.

Thank You God for such a wonderful year for me. I know the recent years are preparations for me to face the future. 2012 is very awesome! I hope 2013 is a lot better for me and for everyone. Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013. :)
