Before 2014 ends, I was asked by someone to answer the question "What are the top 5 things you are thankful for this year?" (a cliché question). With no hesitation, I answered.. "If there are 5 things I am thankful for this year it would be the experiences, achievements, peers, family, and the emotional damage. "
If there would be a year of experience, for me it would be 2014. First photoshoot, first beauty pageant, first time to be featured in Philippine Star, first time to be a guest dancer, first time to choreograph contemporary pieces alone, first time to try other dances.
This year, I didn't expect that God will shower me with opportunities. I was given an invitation to the best of life and chances for a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was a privilege this year to dance as a guest, to be a part of WU-P Dance Troupe, to be one of the candidates of Ms. CBA 2014 and given a special award of "Best In Ramp", to pass my accounting subject (hard work paid off!), to represent my college, CBA, for this year's dancesport and titled as first runner up, to be ranked as third runner up in the CWTS Interpretative Dance Competition, to be given the best of the best.
This year would never be so much like this without my friends. A year without them is like a year staying at home.. Puro pahinga. HAHA. To my best friend since HS, Shane Bate, to my mean girls, my pingas tita family, my friendship, bes, ates and kuyas.. Love you and miss you! :*
Now.. To the person who told me that I will never have friends.. Who are you referring to now? ;)
So many struggles and problems came and we're still here standing as a family. God knows how much I pray for this one. No words can describe how much I love and care for them. You never fail to make me laugh and support me all throughout. :) Love you so much! To my cousins.. If you're reading this.. please see me now! HAHA :D
Last but not the least...
1. HEART BREAK
They say people change when they are hurt. I believe that I am mostly thankful for this instance because without this.. Everything above will not happen. :)
Unexpected, blessed, successful, and full of bliss. These are the words that describe my year 2014.
From the easiest up to the hardest challenge, from the fears I need to conquer, from the transformation and changes.. I am proud to say that I survived.
ADVANCE HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! <3
