2011 was scattered with very few posts, but hopefully this year there will be more. Overall, it's been a year full of family reunions, schoolmates' gatherings, and weddings. Early in the year when I just got back for good, I couldn't help but wonder if coming back is the "right" decision. But as time goes by I find myself forgetting that question completely- being back and being closer to family (including extended family) and friends have been great for me. Yes the traffic sucks; some drivers really piss me off (especially when they don't use the freakin' signal lights!); and yes I could go on and on about what's dissatisfying here. But really, every country has its own problems. As I grow older, priorities shift, and I find myself wanting to be closer to family, in case they need me. I care less about my ideals for the country, and whatever else for that matter. Perhaps in due time, I'll have different ideas of whether to settle down in this country. But right now, I'm happy I'm back home. Even happier and absolutely thankful that I'm on the right track to pursue my dreams.
Anyway. Here are some pictures- they're by no means a complete account of 2011, but they are some snapshots of what happened over the past year, and they're the people close to heart. :)
