This year was filled with happiness, anger, sadness, fun, craziness, and more happiness. I did a lot of things others didn’t expect me to do and I did a lot of things that I didn’t even expect myself to do. Celebrated 1yr anniv wd my boyfriend (Ex boyfriend), went to prom, graduated from high school, made my family proud, got acknowledged by others because of my artistic talent, had a great summer, enrolled in Ateneo, started my freshman year of college, gained amazing friends, loss fake “friends”, gained more new friends, broke up with my boyfriend, then i realized that i was still in love with him, ended 1st semester and failed 2 subjects, went to Manila (my first ever solo trip) and cried over my EX-boyfriend, found out that he had already a new girl and chose a bag of dirt over me, dealt with drama, got a little drunk, grew closer to my true friends, turned 17, and more things happened. I experienced every emotion. I found love and I lost it. But I’m still happy. :D

Now see, I had little road bumps that seemed huge because I’ve never dealt with shit like that this year, but I don’t regret a thing. Those were mistakes, and I learned from them. What to do, who to trust, who to count on, and etc. Just to get handed so much bullshit in a short amount of time was amazing because I came out on top and it made me a stronger woman! Haha. :D

I know sometimes I am a difficult person. I know that sometimes it’s hard to understand why I do certain things, or act the way I do. But I am also thankful that I have friends that not only empathize, but understand how I am and have taken the time to get to know me. I am not saying this in a negative, depressing way, but to show how thankful I am to have met such amazing people who I can now confidently call close friends(: You all mean the world to me, and I would do anything for you<3 *You know who you are*

With that being said, I am completely ready to let go of this year, and ready to take on another, with more challenges, experiences, and moments that will better me as a person and continue to show me how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful place, with such beautiful friends J

Few more hours and and it’s a new year! I just want to extend my gratitude to all of you guys whom I have shared my 2011 with. I sure wanna thank you for all the memories that we’ve made. This 2012, I am looking forward to a more successful and memorable experience with you guys. srsly, I am hoping that you’ll still be a part of my life for the heck of the years to come. You know how much I love you guys.  And may this simple thank you surely gets into your hearts.

Live love laugh! We’re all awesome and you know that. ;D

By the way, special thanks to my family for all the support that you have given me. I’m thankful for having you through all the things that had happened to me, to us. You’ll always be the best! I love you all! :*

Your love,

Lalai Istarr
