Uno REVELATION. 12:17 AM
2012 had been a fruitful year, I would say. Not only did it mark the end of my tertiary education but it was all the little things combined that made it a rather good year. From the school experience - PDP, orientation, class, graduation, A's - to the family one - holidays and discovering new places together - it has surely been a year to remember. Most importantly, outranking all of the above, I believe that I drew closer to God than I've ever been, and I'm growing closer each day.
As I type this right now I highly doubt my ability to remember all the interesting events of the year, but I would try my best and add on to the list as the days go by (as I say this I know deep down that this is highly unlikely). My mind is currently abuzz with thoughts about the future rather than the past; perhaps the hour of reminiscing was left behind as soon as the clock struck 12 four days ago. But I have to do this for old time's sake and also because I know it's possible to procrastinate till you forget what is really important. So here goes! I shall enlist the help of social media to jolt some memories hahaha.
1) Expedition '12 :D OG 8 VEGA BAIK!
