Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
For the past we had encounter many things, there were moments we forget and won the prize but, there were many times that we fell and failed.
Each year is unpredictable and illusive.
All the things that we’ve done mark in the history but only a few remembered and that’s the reality! New Year! It is said to be a beginning of a new journey in life. Actually, it’s not completely true because New Year is just a continuation of the journey which started since birth. It is a year for new opportunities that need to be unlocked.
Last December 26 of the previous year, after celebrating Christmas my family decided to celebrate New Year in General Santos City.
The night before December 31 I was preparing the things of what to bring I pack my clothes and prepared for it. As I wake up early in the morning I quickly take a bath because of too much excited for the trip. And it’s such a wonderful day for me. We departed from here in Davao City at exactly 5:30 in the morning.
Whooooo!!!!! It’s a long travel go to that place from here going to Gensan. Our trip was almost three and a half hours (3 ½). We just arrived there at 10 o’clock am. As I enter the door I told to my self that this is a very busy day for me. After the foods were prepared we quickly eat our meal and started to celebrate our new years eve. We are very excited to watch the fireworks. I was so amaze and of what I’ve seen of such a beautiful parade of fireworks.
As what the New Year means, change. It is the time for me to make resolutions. There are many things that need to be forgotten, improve, renewed and change. But there is something that must be given importance, respect to one’s self, our faith in God and specially our studies. That education is very important not only in our lives but also to the people who nurture us and loved us. That we have to change ourselves to become a leader and a better person of what God wants us to be. It is hard to admit the fact that the value of education to some students right now is worthless. They always consider everything in school as a game. They do not take it seriously. They just do what ever they want, regardless of what it will come out in terms of their studies. Now seems to be the right time to change this awful attitude or way of thinking. Do not wait for the time that you will regret what you had done in the past, change. These are not only for our sake but also not to put shame on the name our parents.
Resolutions are not new to us. We make it yearly but often times we do it for the sake of our customs or traditions. Forgetting and keeping are the right words to focus in this year. Let us forget what lies behind our door and unmask our negative attitudes. Let us keep ourselves prepared for the events that we hope to occur but do not forget about the events that we are not expecting.
Expect the unexpected; be prepared for what you expect. We are useless and unworthy unless we transform in our mind and in our hearts.
May God be praised!!!
