It's a day after new year and we went back to work. Yeah, great! Back to reality... Well, time flies so fast. It felt like yesterday, when we greeted 2012, and now it's bye bye time. I'd say 2012 wasn't my favorite year. It did not beat 2011, but I had my share of good news, and a lot of challenges! I think I started to feel a bit more grown up this year. A lot of challenges, at the same time, a lot of accomplishments.
I don't want to remember the heart aches and head aches 2012 brought me, but I'll always remember the things I am thankful for about the past year. By the start of the year, I got promoted. I was able to file for the Licensure Exam (Finally!! after 3 years) and Thank goodness I passed on my first attempt! I am now a licensed teacher :). Mama and Papa celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. I and Jim celebrated our 6th year as BF/GF. We were able to buy a car (2nd hand). Our mommy piggy gave birth to 13 babies. I was able to start a blog. I bought my first android phone (From Myphone it's cheaper but works great!) I learned to cook a lot of new dishes. The list goes on but the best part is, I still have the people I love with me. People may come and go, I understand that (sometimes I have that anti-social tendencies), but there are just people I can't live without, and I thank God they are still with me.
The only reason I think why 2012 wasn't my favorite was because of some heart aches and pressure I felt throughout the year. But I learned a lot! I guess that's part of growing up. I am looking forward to a better year! Hello 2013! Please be kind to me :)...
Now, let's talk cheap! As a self-confessed thrift shopper, I always feel guilty whenever I spend too much on things I should've spent less. I always find ways, means, alternatives and resources to save extra bucks. I just thought it would be cool to record these and maybe help others. They say, I am super resourceful :) I think I am ;P "If you can't buy it, make it!:D" "If you can make it, why buy it?" "Learn how to make it and earn ;)" -- That's how I think 24/7 lols!
