Thanks 2011!

2011 has made me realize one thing, I'm a quarter of a centennial old and I need to look back to the things that have made my past year ever so memorable...

To the people that I might have insulted, have brought pain to, or may have offended, my sincerest apologies. I never have intended any of it to happen.

To the people that admire me, thanks for always making me feel so confident about myself.

To the friends and colleagues that I have been with and forever will be loyal to, thank you for sharing your time and happy memories. FOr all the tears and laughter, and for all the pain we have shared together. Without you, 2011 would definitely be another blank chapter of my life. For the outings and out of towns that gave color to my vacations, and for the road trips and movies we shared, I hope we could do them again but better than what we have done. :)

To my bestfriend who has been with me for 2 decades, I hope that before you tie the knot this 2012 we could catch up with the things we never talked about. I know that in your big heart you still have much more to conquer, so do enjoy life and make the most of everyday. I hope that your remaining single days be filled with happy and a bit naughty memories which you will remember and laugh about when you settle down. Thanks for being there eventhough we seldom see each other, and thanks for the gelatos and pizzas and pasta! :D

To my grandparents, I miss you guys so much! The holidays are not enough to spend with you! I miss my grandpa Manings tummy and smile, and mama Precing's cooking. I miss papa Candro's stories and mama Glo's huggable physic. Im happy that I still have the best of both sides and still enjoy your company even for the smallest amount of time. I hope to see you more this 2012! :)

To my one and only guy who stood by me even during my worst, crankiest and wildest days, thanks. 2011 would be so boring without you. Though we don't see each other as often as we used to, I know in my heart that you miss the times that we eat breakfast and lunch together, and the sandwich that we share when you're too busy to eat. I miss those times we'd both be on weekend work because it was a part of our job and then end the day with a movie. But eventhough, I have felt that 2011 has been the most challenging year we shared. I pray we still have more years to spend together. Those 3 words can't be enough to say what I feel, so thanks with so much love from my heart to yours... for my love and my bestfriend :)

To my mom and sister who are always my number 1 fan. For being my critic when I try being a master chef at home and for being my guniea pigs when my cooking comes out well, thanks for being patient. For the Girls-Night-Out that we always enjoyed, and for the sushis and sashimis we always crave, I hope to find more time for these moments this 2012. For the ups and downs, glees and arguments, we still find ways to compromise and understand each other. I so love you both! :D and I so love the gibberish words we share. You're my bestfriends, my inspirations and my all. I hope we'd have another great year for 2012!

To my dad, Franklin Fagaragan, whom I never have seen for more than half of my life, thanks for giving a sperm to mom so I can be born. And thanks for another sperm so that I can also have a sister. I honestly do not expect to see you again but I am hoping from the bottom of my heart I would. I ended the year realizing that my life won't be the same if you were here with us, it may have turned out better or worst. But with this, I still am thankful that I had the priviledge to spend time with you, and to learn things from you. It's something that my little sister would never have and I can't blame her if someday she'd decide to find you. I hope you are happy wherever you are, and I hope someday you could atleast come home so that your parents would see you even for the last time.

For 2011 that has brought much more than I can ever imagine... My God has indeed given me much and I would always be so thankful for everything that I have. I may not be where I wanted to be, but I am right where I should be... with people who would always be a part of my life's book. For the next 366 days of my life, I hope whatever I can accomplish makes a difference to everyone that has been a part of me... :)
