2012 taught me...
To be patient. I learned this in law
school, in playing a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle, and in dealing with my ‘gubaon’
laptop. I remember the time when I called my friend around 3 o’clock in the
morning, heavily crying, coz I lost my konting patience to turn on my laptop.
She told me “Ga pasensyahe anay na, pahuwayi, tulogi anay.” That maybe the
first time that ‘patience’ penetrated in my system (coz hindi talaga ako
nagsleep until naging okay yun). I accepted the fact that not all the things I
want, I can get in an instant. I need to wait for the right thing to happen at
the right moment, even if it is matagal pa. Patience made me survive my first
semester in law school. And recently, I received a compliment from my sister when she told me,
“Nang tingala gid ko simo nga nagkapasensya ka sa jigsaw kag.” So yea, from now
on, I will wait… wait…. And wait for nothing but the best.
To believe in second chances. I used to believe that there should be no more room for second chances. But 2012 proved me that I was wrong. Hindi po ako nakamarch for my graduation last year, but I made it this year. It is more fun coz napaghandaan ko talaga ang shoes and dress ko, and I had a chance to reunite with college friends. I also got the chance to study again, this time in law school. On the other hand, love may not be lovelier the second time around, yet the important thing is I gave ‘us’ the second chance na ginusto and inenjoy ko rin at some point. Though its more heartbreaking because I expected too much from him, but at least I tried, and that ‘try’ proved to us that hindi pa talaga namin kilala ang isa’t isa and that we are not really meant for each other. No more regrets, for as long as you know when to stop.
To deal with frustrations. A number of cancelled trips gauged how far can I deal with all the frustrations. You know that feeling when you are extra excited for such trip that you had your baggage ready and on the last minute it was cancelled because of bagyo, sakit, exams and all others? Cancelled trips to Sagada, Baguio, Butuan and Boracay are so kaloka and sakit sa heart, but you cannot blame anyone or anything. You cannot do something about it except to accept it and let your plane fly with you not on board.
To decide on my own. I hate to make a choice with so many options. As much as possible, ayokong magdecide on my own. But I made a couple of decisions this 2012, because I really have to. This includes the decision to resign sa work in House of Representatives na I thought was my dream, to leave my lifestyle in Metro Manila behind, to grant my parents request and return to Iloilo (though ayoko talaga), to enrol myself in law school, and the decision to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who caused it.
2012 is my year of pole dancing, football, travels and beers. It is indeed a year full of fun, of travels, of successes, and of meeting new people And I believe that there still room for more fun, more travels, more successes, and more meeting new people in 2013. Aabangan ko po yan.
