It's time to say goodbye to 2009. I'm actually glad that this year has finally come to an end, as it marks one of the toughest & crappiest year. There were too many disappointments, and even failures, that affected me emotionally. I haven't been doing well in school; lost my scholarship; suffered from insomnia for the first time; and struggled to recover from my last break up for the majority of the year. I actually felt like I lost myself for quite some time because it was so difficult for me to find motivation to do anything, and at times I really just wanted to give up. But luckily, I still had my friends who always supported me; and along with failures, comes many lessons learnt.

As I grew up, I've always depended on everyone around me, whether it's my parents, my bf, or even friends. Although I was on my own most of the time this year, I still couldn't break my bad habits, and I constantly tried to look for someone to lean on whenever something goes wrong. But eventually I realized that complaining and being emo won't get you anywhere. People can only comfort and encourage you, but at the end of the day, you are on your own to take actions and make a change. I know I've said this many times, but I'm really trying to learn to be more independent, and to start making my own decisions.

One of the reasons why I felt that 2009 was so bad is because it was the first time I experienced many of the things that I went through. I was always proud of myself in terms of school, and although I struggle sometimes, I still manage to get through somehow. Never have I worried about passing a course, but this term was different. To make things worse, it really messed up alot of my academic plans for the future terms. I really wish I was smarter, but I guess you just can't be good in everything. The important thing is to realize what are your strenghths & weaknesses, so you can improve in those weaker areas. I will have to rethink about my course selections, probably with the help of my program coordinator, and I just gotta stay focused and try harder next time around.

Aside from school, I feel like I wasted alot of time dwelling in the past. I don't really understand why, but I've always had troubles moving on. It was like a never-ending cycle and I broke down so many times that I eventually just got fed up. I can't tell if it's because I'm already adapted to the pain so that I don't even feel it anymore, or because I've actually slowly moved on. I know I have noone to blame but myself for letting everything happen, but I trust that I made the right decision. I always hope that things can be perfect the way I picture it, but I know you don't always get everything you want. And because of this, it makes me appreciate what I do have left even more.

Although there were alot of obstacles this year, they really did help me mature, and prep me for the future, because you never know what's coming your way. My motto this year is going to be: learn from the past, embrace the present, and plan for the future.
