A month to say your Thank Yous(:

November: A Time to *Mesmerize about the good things in LIFE(:

Its November .. again(: Its a time to sit back and mesmerize about the blessings we recieve from our Heavenly Father this year. This year for me, has its tough times .. yet, everything happens for a reason righ? .. Our Heavenly Father is forever working in his mysterious ways that we sometimes may or may not understand. This year happiness filled the air, food filled the table, luck has come one way or the other, families reunite&families lost, tears has flown, broken hearts has been healed, hearts healed broke once again, madness broke free, jobs lost, homes taken away, great&ugly weathers, new beautiful temple weds, game wins&game lose, wings gained, new borns, dreams made come true, new Gospel brothers and sisters, young ones called to serve, good&bad choices are made, lesson well learned, new experiences, mistakes are made, other halfs found, successful programs, grown by an inch, gained&lose by a pound or two, gifts are givin about, laughters became louder, stories became more interesting, and so many many many more blessings. Some has its ups&downs yet they happen for a reason that we find out later on in our lives(: Im so grateful that im still breathing, gettin ready to experience a new year. 18 years has passed, going for my 19th. 2010 was half great&half .. egh.

This year i've learned new things I love to include in my young adult life and forever hold them in my heart. This year I've experienced my first relationship(: I've made some choices that I definately do not regret. I got a camera for xmas and my bestfriend lost it -_- I finally went to my first high school dance -Prom! I never worked harder in all my high school years! I finally graduated from high school .. phew! I celebrated my 18th birthday at Youth Conference --> A week ill never forget! I made some many more awesome friends(: I lost my dearest grandma Vasi. I lost my handsome brave young nephew Saia. I lost my best friend, my bub, Jared. I got yelled at by my leader .. SCRAZY! I went to my very first big football game - NINERS! I got so mad at my mom for not letting me go to certain things. I've jinxed so many plans because I get too excited -__- Major fail! I kept in touch with my journal. I never helped clean the chapel so much in my life(: I made a garden in front of our chapel for my project, ofcourse, I had help(: I've never babysat SOOO MUUCCHHH .. yet I learned to love it(: These are part of the things I did this year. Whatta year aye. There are things in life that we would want to rewind and re do .. but hey, what would we learn from it if we never make the choices we made. Life sometimes sucks in some ways, but hey, whats the suprise. Life is difficult at times, we just gotta keep our head up and move forward. Look back at those difficult times and all we see is pain. Thats the past, live the present, so better times can come in the future. Life has its good times as well, now those are the times we would want to live in and never leave .. (sigh) 'em good memories. Than again, we must move forward and make new great memories righ?(:

Im so grateful to have a family who loves me and has done so much for me this whole 18 years. Without their accusations, advices, yellings, ... loving words (lol) I wouldn't be the person I am today. Because my dad let me make my own decisions [he dont tell any of us kids what to do with our life .. literally] I learn from the choices I make and I face the consequences that comes along with it. Because my mom is both the parent in the house, Boss, my teenage life kinda suck but im glad of how she's raising me. I learn a lot from my mom, well, motherly things that is(: Overall, im thankful for my parents unconditional love for me and my siblings(: My siblings set the examples for me as well. I have 6 older siblings to learn from and I am learning very well. Im so grateful for the Gospel. To grow and learn of the church. Not knowing the Savior and the reason of our living, I would be lost and confused in this life as some people are now a days. Im lucky to be born into a family who is part of Gospel. Because of that, im thankful to my parents for raising me in the church and giving me the heads up of becoming a strong young woman and maybe someday I can stand on my own two feet and live my own life. Im thankful to know of the Book of Mormon and the Plan of Salvation. Here, I gain great knowledge of the reasons of our living and How to live with these reasons(: Im grateful for awesome friends who stood beside me through the thickest&the thinest. For being there when I need them during my troubled time. For lending their ears when I have major bad or good news. For taking time off to comfort me on my time of needs. Im thankful for my Heavenly Father for watching over me and my family all these years. I hope he'll continue watching and taking care of us for another 18 years and more;) Im grateful for many things. Be thankful for what you have because there are others who wishes to have what you got. Never take anything in your life for granted .. always be grateful. I, myself complain sometimes .. but I try to remember that I sure am luckier than some other people who would want live my life. <333
