While making upcoming resolutions are good ol' fun, really we mustn't forget to take time and look back at how we have spent our 2012 so here we have answered 7 questions to reflect on our 2012,
*Warning* this is probably our most personal blog post yet... so don't be shock if we sound somewhat abnormally serious and mature but we hope you Enjoy!
- If the last year were a movie of your life, what would the
genre be?
Jcel:
- Adventure. 1. I can say that this year has
been such a roller-coaster ride for my family but we always tend to pick
ourselves and end up on right side of things. 2. I have been more open to doing
things out of my comfort zone, i.e eating a pigeon.
Bex:
A
combination of Drama, adventure and Comedy!
- 2012 was
the year that the MIXXED girls have taken “Adventure” to the next level, simply
because, we not only explore Hong Kong this time but actually went to travel
which involved passports and airplanes.
- “Comedy” because no matter how stressful and
frustrated it can get, laughter still fills the air.
- “Drama”
because I’m Bex and my life is a drama. (hehehe)
- What were the two or three
major themes that kept recurring?
Jcel:
- Breaking down and almost losing hope.
- Surrendering everything to God and then
everything is back to normal again.
Bex:
-
Making difficult decisions.
-
Learning to let the little things go and focus on what really matters.
-
Humility.
- What did you accomplish this past year that you are the most
proud of?
Jcel: I am proud to say that spiritually I am
more enlightened and that I have truly opened my heart to God.
Bex:
-
More involved in the church.
-
Having to read 23 books in a year.
-
Having to actually spend more time with my family was I
think the most wonderful accomplishment that I am proud of for 2012.
- What do you feel you should have been acknowledged for but
weren’t?
Jcel: I don’t want
pin-point certain things because it is too personal but I have felt that
numerous times all the good I’ve done are being neglected. Especially when you
have sacrificed so much and it seems that it is still not enough.
Bex: There are certain events but I consider
them as petty, so I’d prefer not mentioning them.
- What disappointments or regrets did you experience this past
year?
Jcel: I am
disappointed with my spending habits because saving-wise I knew I could do so
much better.
Bex:
-
Failing to involve myself in the Music team in the area of Worship
Leading.
-
Failed to actually run every morning through out the year.
-
Gained what I should have lost.
- What was missing from last
year as you look back?
Jcel: Exercise.
Every start of the year I have good intentions to really get on with an
exercise routine and healthy eating habits sadly, I wasn't able to fulfill that
this year. Better luck next year? LOL
Bex:
-
More time to study.
-
Time and Money management.
-
MIXXED
-
Exercise
- What were the major
life-lessons you learned this past year?
Jcel: That prayer is the best medicine. There came a time for our
family this year when really all we can do is just pray and except what is
bound to happen but then a miracle happened and what we were expecting to
happened was avoided. Yes that’s very vague but I don’t want to divulge the
details because it is too personal and it’s not my story to tell. But the moral
lesson is that if your prayers are sincere and if you truly open yourself to
Him, He will answer them.
Bex:
-
It has always been man’s problem – for one to be
dissatisfied with life. Yes, I went through that and the lesson I have learned
is that – no matter what I have achieved, the big salary that I earn and all
this world can offer, I will never find satisfaction because only GOD Himself
can bring satisfaction in man’s heart. J
-
The grace of God is beyond measure and it is by His grace
that I am alive today and be able to enjoy another year of His goodness.
If you are reading this part then you have survived. HORRAY! Yes that was quite a toned-down version of ourselves Not to worry we will be back with more obnoxious childish behavior next year! hahaha
