Man In The Mirror.

Welcoming 2011, not exactly because the start of a new year will always happen every year, it is time to look back.  Instead of deciding what actions to repeat and what to leave behind, I rather take the time to count my lucky stars and not think of what I should have done and will thus want to do in the future. The future’s not for us to decide and I won’t want to go through the whole, ‘Oh-shit-I-broke-my-resolutions-but-I-don’t give-a-shit-as-long-as-I’m-happy’ thing. Resolutions are meant for delusional people who believe they can be a better person despite already breaking so many of it year after year.

My family has played a great role in my life, not just 2010, but for the whole of my 20 years of life. I’m always thanking the gods and whatsoever, that not only am I not born into a broken family, or some family living in poverty in Africa, my family is just awesome beyond awesome. Doting and loving parents, good siblings and all. Family is not only a great role, but an important and essential one as well.

My besties are just irreplaceable. Few days ago, I was just thinking about what we used to call ourselves, LAVC. Sounds juvenile, but those memories are deeply engraved in my heart and mind, in a good way of course, and I would never trade those memories for anything. If my boyf asks me to give it up, I’ll ask him to go to hell. But I know he won’t. (: And I’m really glad, we’re still bestfriends and confidants despite graduating for so many years already. And I really hope we’ll keep up to it, till when we’re 70 going on to 80.

Family, or so we call ourselves that, has been more than just friends to me. They’re just like what we call ourselves, family. With them around, I can laugh at anything, feel comfortable no matter what, and enjoyed every moment as long as it’s spent with them. Hopefully, ten years down the road, we’ll still be able to have that bond between us and we’ll still have our regular brunch with each other.

Cousins, though we aren’t as close as we were in the past, I’m really glad that spiritually, we’re still as close and that I can count on everyone of you if something ever happens to me.

College besties, people who actually stuck me through my awful A’s times. I’m so glad we’re still as close and not falling apart like the others and hopefully, we can continue our fortnight thing till we’re old.

NXND, or so we call ourselves, cheesy, I know. But what the heck. Can’t wait to go BKK with you guys! And my sucky uni life would’ve been torturous if not for you guys. I really enjoyed every lesson and lectures and especially times in biz library where we’re actually spending time talking about stupid stuffs like buying a HDB flat instead of studying. To the 2 and a half more years ahead.

Hall friends, the closer ones especially, the real reason why I’m back squatting. (: The people who made home away from home.

Sandra, I’m glad we’re friends, really good ones in fact. I’m glad we became GLs together, though I still prefer our Titans times. I’m glad you still stuck me through no matter how many time I bail out on you. I’m glad you came into my life.

Boyf, I’m really glad that we got together. And though the future’s blurry, I hope we’ll make things work out no matter what happens.

 

I know this post came a little too late. But I’m glad that 2010 happened.
