I found this on Heck Yeah Tumblr Challenges...but I'm going to do this in one post. This year has been a serious roller coaster for me. There were many good moments...and there were a couple of bad moments. I honestly don't remember much happening on the first half of 2011. To sum this up, here is my thoughts on this year. Will be keeping it real and simple as always.
What has been your most memorable moment in 2011?
Meeting him is by far the most memorable moment this year. He is a gentleman. He is sweet. He knows how to treat his princess right. He is perfect just the way he is. He has his own way to court me and I love every single moment of it. I know this sounds disgustingly sweet to whoever is reading this but sorry guys, a girl gotta express her feelings out there to the world.

How much have you changed overall in 2011?
I would like to believe I changed quite a bit. In a positive perspective I mean. I'm a lot happier and giddy for many obvious reasons. I took my mother's advice and seek more independence. (Not financially, I'm a poor student.) Independence meaning domestic duties! I'm a lot more confident in the kitchen and cooking is really fun. I still need to learn how to sew properly though, it's weird asking my dad to help me fix my dresses, pants, and tops.
A person who has impacted your life in some way this year.
My grandma. Her death devastated me and even though there's a huge language barrier between us and the weird health regimen she would do while I was sick, she's the most coolest grandmother ever . She did scare the bejesus out of me when I was a child, but as I grew older I found out how entertaining she can be. Thanks grandma for raising me to be the person I am today. I'm sorry I didn't get to spend time with you for the past couple of years, I hope you find eternal peace and happiness with god and Uncle Hai.

Something you’ve learned this year.
Getting angry doesn't solve anything and even if you feel like it's you against the world, there will always be people that will care about you. I'm a lot more understanding and I try not to take side or put myself in the middle of a bad situation. I also realized the horrible things I did in the past, but you have to forgive yourself and move on. I realized judging someone who you haven't met but have heard of from another is not the way to go. Don't ever judge someone when you don't know anything. Be the bigger person you can be and brush it off. 2008-2010 Amu should be deeply ashamed of herself.
Describe an adventure you had this year.
DG originally from Michigan and was doing her internship in Seattle over the summer. She took the effort to visit HC and I for the day and it was amazing! We went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge and the weather was perfect. It has been 18 years since I last went and got myself a year pass. Reminiscing our gaming moments and explore downtown afterward. Benkei ramen, Vancouver Convention Center, English Bay, those funny bronze statue with all the weird posing, and cupcakes! Please come visit us again! :)

Things you hope for in 2012.
Less problems and more fun opportunities. I want to accomplished the goals I set out for myself.
What are you looking forward to in 2012?
The hype about the next apocalypse. If it happens, it happens. Just brace for impact and accept the fate. (I doubt this will really happen. You know, just saying, but I'll knock on wood to be safe.)
Anything you wish to say to end 2011/start 2012.
2011, you have been good to me. 2012, please treat me well. :)
