Late Musings.
The first week of 2012 has already come and gone, and the world is well on its way in the middle of the second week. I haven’t had the chance to look back on 2011 and evaluate the things that have taken place. So many things happened, all of which changed me permanently, that I feel I owe it to myself to at least provide a quick rundown of events. (This will be very brief.)
Here goes…
January - The start of the year was very busy work-wise. There was a lot of promise. Nothing stood out too much though, I was pretty much recovering from the disaster Christmas Party of 2010.
February - One word: PALAWAN. Amazeballs. The best trip I’ve ever been to. Great people, great food, great province. I fell in love with El Nido and Puerto Princesa for sure.
March - The start of the Bataan road trips with Cams. I miss that, now that I think about it.
April - Summer’s always a busy month for me. What stands out is the Holy Week road trip to Caleruega I took with Jai. That was fun and relaxing.
May - Not that eventful. Nothing really stands out. It was okay, I guess.
June - Turned 24! Chose a low-key celebration. Food trip galore. Didn’t get to spend it with my beloved barkada but it was alright.
July - Palawan Take Two. I learned who my true friends were… and who weren’t. The single most traumatic month of my entire life. It was even more traumatic than intense childhood events I went through. Still, it was a very good lesson on trust.
August - Contemplating leaving NMI. I was still trying to take in the events from July when a more traumatic aftershock followed. I did manage to restore and strengthen my friendship with someone I doubted because of the previous month’s events. OH, and I went to Surigao for the first time. FUN! The timing was perfect. I got to rest there for a week, away from everything.
September - The most difficult decision ever: turn my back on my dream to give myself and someone else peace of mind. I took a break for a month afterwards.
October - Started the real road to recovery. Got a job because I was bored and I wanted to be financially stable again. Still struggled.
November - I started regaining a sense of who I was and what I was capable of. I can say the healing process really just started this month. I was beginning to make wonderful new friends as well. Started classes as well at UPOU.
December - Hahaha hello sick month! Just like clockwork, I was rushed to the ER on Christmas week. Aside from that, my December was a happy one, and I had a quiet but fun Christmas and New Year’s celebration.
2011 wasn’t that good a year for me overall, but I’m glad because it really taught me much. Here’s hoping 2012 isn’t as tough, and that I’ll have more travel opportunities this year. I didn’t mention all my travels in the review, but I did get to travel much. I want to do it even more this year.
So. Those are my late musings. Good night.
