It's the day before New Year's Eve and I can't seem to put myself to sleep tonight. I guess the reason for that would be that I was practically sleeping on my bed for pretty much the whole day just as I've been doing for the past two weeks. I'm feeling kind of rusty now when I comes to writing down what I feel coz I think something's up. My thought organization doesn't seem to be as fluent as it was before when I started up this blog.
Anyway, the last time I posted something here, I put some other stuff on the site just to enhance this little blog of mine. These additions are namely the Twitter and statistics widgets that you can see on the right hand side of your screen. I can recall that during the first time I put it up, the total number of pageviews of this blog were at around 750 only. Then as I checked my blog once again this morning, it shot up to 900 plus already! I checked the stats and it showed that the blog got like around 300 plus views for the past two weeks I left it alone.
On to my post. This past year has been a year of ups and downs just like any ordinary human being experiences. I never thought that I would be where I am now as I innocently celebrated the new year coming in last January. I can truly remember entering my final trimester as a high school student and anxiously hoping for time to pass slowly because I really didn't want high school to end just yet.
Nevertheless, there wasn't really anything I can do to stop time and my high school days came to an end. Although it gives me that sad and nostalgic feeling, I realized that this is how really life goes. You can not stop yourself from entering a new chapter in your life right after one chapter is truly finished.
I'm thinking whether if I should narrate my moments of the year in detail but I'm guessing that it would make this entry too long so I'll just try to put in some pictures of some events so that it would be easier.
Now where was I.
Off to college. It was definitely a blessing from God to put me in the premier university in the country, the University of the Philippines. All through out the summer of this year, I was pretty clueless of what I would be doing after high school because I still did not have the assurance of a college education. Luckily, UP came along and I am glad to study in this university since this was my choice of school all along. It was a very different culture as I entered this State University because this was not a Catholic school anymore. Back in Zobel, the peaceful atmosphere was very much accustomed to me since I was in that school for practically my whole life. But in UP, I realized that I was all alone and no one else can help me pass college but myself. I'm guessing that the reason for the school to be called the best institution in the country is because of what you learn inside the classroom is the equivalent amount of lessons that you would be learning outside the classroom. I cannot elaborate more on that but what I should say is that you have to be there to experience it.
I'm not promising myself or anybody a New Year's resolution because I don't really believe in those stuff since none of those really work. I think it's just a way for some people to catch other people's attention so that they can notify others that they have good intentions for the coming year.
On the other hand, I think it can also be good because people can find out the negative aspects that they have in their lives and what they can do to turn these negative things into positive values.
Goodbye and thank you, 2010.
Hello, 2011! Cheers!
Until the next time.
Phim
