Bring it, 2013. High hopes for you!

Spent new year’s eve at MOA with the fam! Actually the first time we didn’t use firecrackers. I don’t know what went through my parents minds and thought of spending NYE at a hotel. It feels odd not being able to lit any firecracker in welcoming the year. But it feels good to just watch the fireworks display by the bay. (I just love watching fireworks!) Kaya I’d love to thank you mall of Asia for having a very nice presentation of fireworks, made us save a loooot of money 😉

Me and my sister wore matching dresses! I was actually the only one who bought the dress back then, but when we came back to the store and saw a bunch of it (in different colors) me and Coleen thought we should wear matching dresses on NYE! We even convinced our mother to get the black one but (sadly) she refused to. She’s really not into wearing “fancy” clothes. Okay na okay na sya sa jeans at simple shirt. Nay, be bold once in a while! Trust your daughters! We know what’s best for you (only on the context of what sort of clothing suits you best)

I make weird faces in photos (all the friggin time) because it’s better to look ugly on purpose. *troll face*

Had dinner at buffet101, one of my favorite buffet places in the count! But before actually having dinner, my sibs and I have decided to ride super viking first. Parang shunga lang kasi kami lang yung nandon! Hahaha look at us!

You’re still pretty, sithy. Please don’t get mad at me when you see this.

Minutes before 12mn, I asked my sister to accompany me to Starbucks. I was craving chicken pesto and peppermint mocha frappe! Took me about 30 minutes waiting in line. Keribels lang, cravings satisfied!! 😀 We were rushing back to the hotel because we only have 3 minutes before 2013, we surely can’t miss the fireworks. We reached the hotel right before the clock strikes 12, just the right time. I was having a bite of my delish chicken pesto while watching the fireworks display in front of the hotel.

I was constantly looking at my phone.. to check if Jake (a special someone, not his real name btw) has already texted me. It’s passed 12 and yet all the text I’ve been receiving were mostly (all, actually) from my friends. I was waiting for a text! I was waiting for your text.. I just went inside the hotel and stayed at the lobby. Checking my twitter, Facebook, eating.. still waiting I guess. It’s never too late, besides it was just 20 minutes after 12. First 20 minutes of 2013.

At 12:24, my phone rang.. the number isn’t registered in my contacts. I wonder who could it be?? Jake? Ewan. There were like 3 rings before I answered the call, and the first thing I heard was..

“Happy new year!!!!!!!!”

I knew it, or maybe not, but really.. I knew it was him. I screamed out loud!! (well mentally) It was like the most glorious 27 minutes of my January 1st. Such a great way to start 2013. Actually much better if I was with him though pero keri lang.. 🙂 masaya na ako non. Okay I’m not here to tell you stuff about “Jake” kasi hindi sya pwede dito, sa private blog lang. Basta he really is the Jake Rosati of  my life. (the actual reason why I call him Jake) I know I adore Matty so much and I’m madly and deeply in love with him (chos!), but I do prefer Jake than Matty in real life. (Such an awkward fan, I’m sorry! I’m not.)

Anyway NYE was fun! I was smiling the entire night, I slept feeling happy and I woke up realizing life can be somehow beautiful. No, life is naturally beautiful. I just focus way too much on negative aspects that prevents me to see the good and beauty in everything. I need to stop dwelling on the minor bumps on the road and focus on working hard and being appreciative. There are so many reasons for me to be happy. God has given me so many blessings in my life and sometimes I don’t know what I have done to deserve what is being given to me.. and by that I don’t think I have the right to complain and be sad. I’m blessed and lucky!

I honestly can’t believe how insensitive I can be at times. I didn’t even think about other people, especially the less-fortunate.. How much suffering they get everyday and yet can still manage to thank God and find happiness in their lives. I need to be grateful, everyone has to.

2012 taught me a lot of things. Most especially, I learned that not all people in our lives are meant to stay forever. Some are just meant to stay in our hearts, not in our lives. Some only come to show you a part of yourself. They always teach us a lesson. Life goes on and it won’t stop for anyone or anything. There’s more to life, enjoy it. Be positive and happy!!!!! 🙂

PS: Take my advice, I don’t use it anyway.
