New Year, New Me!

          As the countdown begins with 3...2...1... Happy New Year!

          It has been a tradition for us Filipinos to welcome a new chapter of our lives to be making noises, lighting up the sky with fireworks, filling our stomach with different kinds of foods, and many more. But one thing that is very important for us to have this New Year is to have changes. Changes may mean good or bad but what we should bear in mind always is to change for the better for us to have a better life and a better future.

          I shall be welcoming this year 2012 with a new me. The old Marc Nixon Tacud Pelayo is someone known for some of his bad attitudes but is better known with his good attitudes. A new me means someone who will be more disciplined, more studious, more patient, and less pasaway. I would be doing my very best to achieve these goals so that I would have the better living and a colorful future ahead of me.

         More disciplined, I have discipline but what I shall do is to enrich it to bring out the better me; More studious, I do review my lessons only before examinations come but this year, I shall be reading my lessons even without any hesitations or waiting for examinations to be announced; More patient, patience is very important because things do come in the right time when God permits. We should not be upset when things do come late in our lives because God do plans everything; Less pasaway, well it means that I'm used to breaking the rules but this year, I shall be doing my best to obey rules given to me. I get laughs when I do break some rules and I just know that what I'm doing is wrong which sometime gives me punishments and did realize that wrongdoings do deserve some punishments.

          It feels good to be living in this world with the right kind of attitude mingling with people whom you share memories with which you'll never forget. It also gives you honor to be recognize as a person who have done good or right things to others and making them happy being with you. And as we welcome each year, let us do some changes which could make us better inside and out so that God would be so much proud of us and wouldn't be regretting giving us the opportunity to live in this world.
