HELLO WONDERFUL PEOPLE! 

In my part of the world, we said goodbye to 2016 with fireworks and cheers...

And said hello to 2017 with big hugs and hopeful smiles... 

2016 for me has been a GIGANTIC rollercoaster filled with so many ups and downs. That now, that it's come to an end, makes me dizzy and confused.

2016 was the year I went back to the Philippines after 8 YEARS!!! I got to meet my uncle and grandfather that I haven't seen in years. I also got to go to the USA and meet my fathers best friend for almost 20 years. I also achieved an average that I never knew was possible for me. And sadly said goodbye to my other grandfather...

But now that we say goodbye to 2016, I am greeting 2017 with wide arms and a big smile. Because 2017 is the year I finally graduate from high school, after 14 excruciatingly long years. 

Now lets talk resolutions because let's be honest here, we would probably forget about our resolution half way through...

^ I mean sure, it's not a new year without saying that ^

But let's be real, that determination probably, at most, lasts a month. Am I right? Correct me if I am wrong.

Alright, alright I'll stop rambling :P 

Happy HAPPY New Year, to each and every single one of you lovely human beings! :*

And remember 

to 

ALWAYS

Keep smilin'! :) <3
