I hate to say that this is a very late post, but it's better late than very late, or worse, never. :)
We all did a wonderful welcome-to-2013 celebration during the midnight of
January 1, 2013. We all had our ways of celebrating it, some did their first
night party of 2013 until the already saw the sun, some preferred to eat the
"medya noche", and some went to sleep early. But this is one thing that is
common to us, we don't know what is ahead of us this 2013.
I had the same curiousity last year when we welcomed it with my family. I was
really thinking of what 2012 is in store for me. And when the 2012 came to
close, so as my wonderful (and favorite) year.
Wait, favorite? Of course! I consider 2012 as my favorite year as of the
moment, because all lot of blessings came into my doors and opportunities in
between. And here, I listed some of my 2012 highlights.
1.) I joined a debate competition.

On February, I joined the 5th Visayas Universities Debate Competition (VUDC 5)
as a competiting adjudicator along with my debate society family. It was
frightening for me because aside from the fact that it was my first debate
competition ever, but I only got 2 straight weeks of preparation for the
tournament. Not to mention that I don't even have any single experience in
public speaking, particularly in debate. But luckily, I breaked into the Break
Rounds and was an adjudicator until Octo-finals. It was really fulfilling for
my part since I got a short-time for proper adjudication training.
