Tonight will be New Year’s Eve! My mom’s running a fever so I guess we will just have to stay in after dinner and wait for our neighbors to blow our brains out. I think this is better since we usually cram our dinner so we can be in time for the NYE mass and rush home before the fireworks start.
So how was 2011 like? Honestly, pretty disappointing. Or maybe, I just raised the bar so high (so HIGH!) because Chinese and Greek astrology say that this is will be a ROCKING year. I’m a Pig and a Virgo, and my horoscope basically says my sign will be vomiting luck for 2011. My career, romantic, and social life will take positive, drastic changes in 2011. They also said there will also be lots of travel opportunities this year. So how did my year turn out?
Well, I didn’t get a promotion, I attended less parties this year, my friends were hard to gather even for a simple dinner, and well, I don’t want to anymore comment on my love life. If there’s one thing that came true, it’s that I was able to travel abroad twice. And I am truly grateful for that.
This year wasn’t really that bad. In fact, it wasn’t bad at all. Sure I was bummed that I didn’t get a promotion but maybe because I was promoted 2 years ago and they wanted to give chance to others. My family and I didn’t experience any grave catastrophe. We were pretty healthy and our finances are okay. Well, my personal finances were a disaster (damn you Mango sale and Cotton On splurges in Australia) but I always managed to pull through and pay my credit cards.
Maybe because I relied on the stars too much that I didn’t do enough action. I was constantly shouting to the Universe the things I wanted, but often, the Universe didn’t listen. Sorry me, my dreams and goals had to take a raincheck because the Universe probably has other plans.
I guess for 2012, I will not anymore hold on to horoscope predictions as if they were gold. I will just listen to my gut-and my guy says 2012 will be a great year for me. I will live my life next year as it was humanity’s last year.
Next blog entry will be my “grateful” list and accomplishment list for the year that was. For now, Happy New Year everyone!
