Happy New Year 2013!

Well, ROCKBOUND NEIGHBORS entry needs to wait a bit longer, since New Year is here before I knew it (or then I just took forever with my assignments orz)..

Anyway, the year 2012. 

A year of mixed feelings. 

I think I've already reflected back on it in various entries and wherever else, but I'll do a little bit more of it here. 

I think during the course of this year, I have grown the most as a person (in one single year that is). It has tested my patience, strength of will and many other things and has thus forced me to mature, even though I was pretty mature to begin with. For all this I am grateful, as it has once again broadened my view of the world and made me appreciate more things than I did before. I'm constantly on a quest to become a better person anyway, so it all works out for me in that sense too. I think I've gotten back in touch with my emotions again as well, that took quite a while... :3 Can't wait to see what challenges and triumphs the next year brings to me~!

I think I have also met more awesome people this year than before (in one single year again that is). From work, from school, through other people, on the internet... all of them very precious. I look forward to what the new year will bring for us and the new people I will surely keep on meeting~!

So a very Happy New Year for everyone!! I hope many amazing things come your way and some if not all of your wishes will come true! Keep on dreaming and reaching out for those dreams - I will do the same!

Not to mention 2013 is my year (snake), so I will do my best to make it a great year for everyone! 

これからもよろしくお願いします!

And last but not least... Kouhaku Uta Gassen.. very well done yet again Nana-sama! You were less nervous than before and put on a really amazing performance! And your lolitacake dress. <3 Even if Akagumi didn't win this year, you all did really really well! The outfits and lightning fast outfit changes will stay with me forever. xD
