Here I am once again talking about some realizations I’ve had in my life. I would want to do it tomorrow but I guess it’ll be hard to find some time.
But first, I would like to share a quotation. I found this really interesting and inspiring quotation in ate shari‘s misteryosa.com while I am reading her entry.
Maybe sometimes you have to stop waiting for someone to come along and fix what’s wrong. Maybe sometimes you have to stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize that no one else has the answer. Sometimes, you just have to be your own hero….
- quotation taken from http://misteryosa.com
That’s how I view my life this year. I am not bragging but I am very much proud to say that I am able to surpass a lot of trials and challenges this year. And through those challenges, I learned a lot of new things. As the saying goes, “Experience is the best teacher”. Indeed it is but it’s the hard way.
I’ve experienced a lot this year, good and bad moments and also change! I dunno if it’s for the good, or whatever. At least I did, and I did it for myself. I know peer pressure and media are the biggest catalyst for my change. I don’t know how it happened, for all I know is I did change a lot 
I am my own super hero besides God. Whenever I face problems, no one knows that I am facing them. Just me, myself and God. I guess that’s the only thing left in me as a cynic.
I am not a cynic now. I can very much say that I’ve already overcome that. I changed a lot, from the cynic person that I am to a jolly and vivacious me!
So that’s my offline life for 2006 in general. It’s not sugar, spice and everything nice. For I believe that my life is one twisted fairytale. I guess that’s applicable for everyone too! Because whether we like it or not, we’re not perfect and so is our life.
With my online life I can say that I’m pretty much blessed. I’ve started blogging only this year. Probably some time in May or June I guess. My blogging tool that time is blogger or blogspot, and for quite some time I managed to get hosted. 
Then here! Yay! I have my own domain.
More than that, I met a lot of people in and out of the country who also have their own stories. I can say that you people are so good to me because you let me have a peek in your life by letting me read your entries. Not just that, you even gave me the freedom to give my opinion.
That’s my realizations, in general, for 2006. Sorry if I present my it subjectively and not objectively. I hope you do understand 
So goodbye 2006, and hello 2007! Happy New Year!
OMG! The JS Prom is fast approaching! Do you already have something to wear? Or do you already have an idea on what dress you should wear? If not, then check out these cheap prom dresses. Aren’t they lovely? I’m sure you would be the center of attraction when you wear any their picks

I experienced a lot of hardships, sorrows and pains, and challenges too.. it’s kinda difficult and tough but I’m so glad I was able to surpass it all.
I hope this coming year would be a better one.

ganda ng post mo ha,, preho tau,, kapag my problem i rather face it by myself..
December 30th, 2006 at 9:27 pm
Ako pag may problem hindi ko kaya iface it sa sarili ko, kailangan ko talaga ng companion. Nyehe. Lalo na sa love problems, kailangan ko ng adives fro friends. Minsan kasi kahit sabihin nila na magaganda ang binibigay ko na advices sa friends ko, hindi ko ginagawa. Kaya sila ang tumutulong sakin pag dating sa mga ganun.
Anyhoo.
Happy New Year. ^^~
Pang inspire lang.. ^_^
A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out that it wasn’t meant to be and you just have to let go.
Hmm. Medyo mahaba na to. Ciao. ^^

Ahh, seems like a lot of people has been inspired by that quote. Maybe I should do that often again. =)
In the end, we only have ourselves to turn to. Kaya nga experience is the best teacher. It gives us first-hand knowledge.
I’m glad you’ve learned a lot this year. We all have. And whether they are for the good or bad is only up to us – on how we utilize everything we’ve experienced and apply them to our lives.

That is good that you can solve your own problems and depend on yourself to make things better. There are a lot of people out there who can’t. Good Luck with 2007.
