Greetings everyone! Yesterday was Christmas, how was it? Nothing much to elaborate on mine though. 5 more days, and it'll be 2012. Are you all anticipating a brand new year? Not for me, but hopefully it's going to be a memorable and fruitful one. No regrets. Another year, hope mistakes won't be repeated and we'll cherish everything we have, of course, cherishing the things that's worthwhile. I have yet to plan out my 2012 resolutions.. But I pray it's going to be realistic so it's wouldn't be a trouble to accomplish them.

In a couple of months, I will be 14. 13 years spending on Earth, learning, making mistakes, cried, smiled, laughed, be someone who I don't want to be, be a bad daughter, a friend to everyone, a human who leads her life is a zigzagged way, someone who doesn't listen well, trying to find love at this age which is stupid, texting people and ended up with approximately 4k messages per month, social networking, and everything that a typical teen does. But here's something I find it unique, after doing so many things, I've reflected that, why is everything so mundane and boring. This cycle that repeats continuously; non-stop. Every generation goes through it and I'm so sick of this. 'This' refers to my life; our lives. At some point of time, you see no meaning in having stereotype life. Maybe just for this point of time. I think, the most important thing to have in life, is the never-give-up spirit. 

Life, what's exactly life? To some, finding some you love, success, get rich, helping others, being happy, be popular and famous, bringing justice to country, maintaining peace, etc. Life, life is manner of living. Everyone, I can say everyone, has their way of living. No one likes it when people interfere their lives. So do I. Who likes it when people poke into their business and make/ force them change the way the wants to be. Annoying, nuisance. Rejections, criticisms, hurtful remarks, compliments, accusations, learn to take it. Learn from some, throw away those that affect you. Let no one gets into your way. No one is responsible to path out the road of your life, draw the directions out for yourself. When you fall, don't ask for too much, maybe no one will be there to help you out, help yourself to get up. Don't demand for too much, no one is going to fully satisfied you. Not even God. People around you, are just guides. Bad and good guides. Again, depend yourself in searching and heeding for the good ones. It's okay, it's really okay if sometimes we chose the wrong choices, there's always a second chance. When you fail at the first attempt, you'll be wiser. When you succeed at the first attempt, you'll have higher expectations. Choose, which will you choose? I'd rather lead a life that could experience failures than successes. Failures, make us realize what's wrong, they conveyed to us that we have to approach the matter with another solution. Successes, makes us realize we're capable of doing something. But they never warn us of our limits and thus, usually brings complacency to us.

Life, is just a manner of living. 

Don't pin your hopes too high. We get disappointments. Be contented. That's what I'm trying to learn. Smile, always smile. No matter how hard life knocks you down, smile, don't cry. Always smile to yourself and tell yourself that, hey, since life is so challenging and it's always able to knock me down so hard, I'll try even harder to make it unable to do so. I don't think life is really that tough. Just sometimes, we're too vulnerable. But take our heart as a role model. How many heartbreaks have we gone through, yet our hearts are still able supply blood to our organs, functioning our system. We're still alive! Yeah, no matter how tough, how sad, how awful, how dejected, how disappointing, how depressing life gets, SMILE. Smiling is contagious and is the best cure for every problem. Don't fret if some things can't be solved, pray to God and let nature takes it's course. Every problem comes with a solution. Don't worry and continue leading your life to the fullest. Always be happy, and when there's a will, there's a way! 

SMILE LIKE NEVER BEFORE. TELL LIFE YOU'RE AN UNBEATABLE FIGHTER. 

Life is too short, to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right & forget the ones who don't.
Believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance- take it.
If it changes your life- let it. 
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.
