2023: A New Beginning

A New Year has begun, 2022 is now finally over. Time flies really fast, right? It feels like it was just yesterday when my brother and dad came back from Manila. And now, they are here again, celebrating New Year with them. It just feels like yesterday when I'm really excited about buying new clothes to wear on New Year.  And now, here we are again, welcoming another year.

 

On December 31th, our whole family ate dinner together. Whole family means, including my cousins, aunt and uncles. It's like a reunion. My grandpa requested for us to have a reunion. Since my brother and other cousin are working on Manila. Once a year, my brother comes home and that's why, we were only then completed. We ate and caught up with everybody. I played with my cute niece. The two siblings of my mom are present. Actually, we're not complete since my one cousin didn't make it to come since I think he had other plans that night. But it's okay. The night was still amusing.

 

On New Year's Eve, it was really pleasing. The sound of people, welcoming the year 2023. The loud music coming from the radios and videokes. The New Year's countdown. The loud sounds of the motorcycles. The foods. The colorful fireworks in the sky. It was wonderful and glamorous.

Overall, Christmas and New Year are the best holiday for me. 2022, taught me a lot of lessons. I lose friends but I also met a lot of new friends that I can say real. I met a lot of people that inspired me and taught me a lot of lessons. 

Even though, sometimes life is really hard, I

had friends that I relied on. They are the most precious and I cherish the most. They are the only people that I can rely on. And I thank God, that He gave me these people. They were with me, not only in 2022 but since we were kids. And I hope, we will stay together until we grow old. I don't want to loss this friendship. I just wanna thank them for being here with me last year and I hope they will still be here for me, this year and every year haha. They are making my teenage years, more memorable. I had a lot of "first times" last year and most of those is I am with them. Sleeping over, playing monopoly, having s'mores winning in a claw machine and  going to the beach to see the sunrise, they were with me with those" first times".  Thanks to them, I never feel alone.

 I want to thank myself for trying and being adventurous this time. I experienced a lot of new things this year, like going to a concert (Lapillus concert), making s’mores on a bonfire and a lot more. 2022 was great. Now, 2023 has already begun. I'm hoping and praying that this year will be a good year, not just for me but also to my family, friends and to all people.  One thing that I can make sure this 2023, is that, I will continue my journey, will keep on striving and will keep on trying new things.
