This year was for one the most memorable in a sense that I experience so many things for the first time or at least the first since a very long time.
Just want to share to you my joy in those experiences so this will not be a long writing(or typing, lol).
I met my uncles, aunties and some of my relatives in my father's side for the first time ever last April. They're from Italy and told that story from one of my blog posts.
I met my high school classmates some of them for the first time in seven years. Here were some of our pictures in my FaceBook account. Yap, you need to log-in first. I doubt you have a FaceBook account 'cause it's only known to few people like me. Having 400 million users the time I'm doing this blog post. :)
I also enjoyed the first rain for the month of May. Here's some of the crazy pictures with my cousin and sisters. With this scorching summer temperature, we can't help but to enjoy those I consider a rare phenomena during this burning days of my life. Sorry for being so dramatic. I know you can relate too.
The first time we had a get together with my friends from my reviewing days in my board exam. The first time since the time after the board exam. Some of us passed the exam while some unfortunately don't. But what the heck, it's the friendship that I gained that I cherished the most. They're the ones I count on when I needed help with regards with my studies and with them I learned to do house chores. There I learned to wash my clothes for the first time. I don't came from a wealthy family but you know at home the love of a mother, some of them just want you to study hard and they'll do the things that you don't want to do like washing and ironing your clothes. But when you're away, most of the time you're on your own and that experience force me to discipline myself.
Just a week ago, I had a get-together with some of friends and co-worker at the beach. I enjoyed the trip and the camaraderie among us. I really don't like singing in a video-oke(a machine especially created for frustrated singers) so with only four of us among the I think twenty of us, we sung from midnight until we noticed that the sun was rising. We also rode a boat, I can't remember when the last time I rode one so that's maybe also a first time.
I also attended seminars from Jomar Hilario about internet marketing so I met people there also for the first time.
I never knew that it is fun to meet different people. When I look at my personality as being a timid and reserved person, I really don't like to be in a situation with people that were really a complete strangers to me. Still, it is hard for me to approach some people but not that quite hard compared when I was in college. This does not mean that I loved to be a people-pleaser, that would a stressful thing to do. One of the key to failure is to try to please everybody.
Last Thursday, I got my TIN number for the first time. I've been waiting for two months for my company to give me that number. I need that so I can get a credit card or at least a debit card to connect to my PayPal account. So nine months later, 3 credit card application denied had passed. I don't know if it's because I don't have a TIN number or it's just a reflection of how low my salary is that even bank who issued credit cards don't believed that I'm capable to have one. Thanked God I decided to go BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue) office in spite of the intense summer heat. I don't get my TIN number from my company although they're the one whose supposed to give me but I got it by sending myself to the BIR office in San Pablo, my place. My long wait of two months and still waiting just took me for about five minutes. By the way, TIN number is Taxpayer Identification Number, we're all taxpayers so no need for further explanation, I suppose.
I said that would not be a long writing. So that's it. Hope you also enjoy the people in your life.
