2013: Year of the Bad-Ass

A year ago, I was a disgruntled man. I was in the point of my life where I was fed up with a  lot of things. Whatever aspect I would like to look myself at, I was simply dissatisfied with whatever I had. So I decided to hype things up. I decided to go through a rebirth: Deadman Walking (Emotions), Epitome of Bad-Assery (Toughness) and Greatness Personified (Confidence). Three personas that I created, molded and tried to live by. While in a way I was able to live by those three personas, summing up 2012, it was more of the growth of Noel Yulo. I got to learn a lot of things, went through a lot of things and most importantly, I got to experience things that made me a better person. But as 2012 ended, looking back I felt that with all the improvements I had, I still had a lot of setbacks. People are much familiar with me as Deadman Walking, a guy that is emotional for a lot of things, good or bad. It's a known fact that I am in touch with my inner emotions. So now I had to focus on what I need to do to be considered great. And for me to reach greatness, I need to be more tougher, braver, wiser on dealing with a lot of things. 

In a way people have seen me change both in a positive and negative aspect. Good or bad, I decided to be or do certain things that were best for me and my interest. But often times I am inconsistent. Yesterday I might have approached a girl and ask for her number but tomorrow I might shy myself away to even look at a girl. I'm never the same Noel in certain time or place. In this world, you must have an image, and that image I want to portray in this year and moving forward is a bad-ass guy that does anything in a consistent basis. No one to tell him what to do or even say to him what is best for him.

I know that with the brand new year starting, I'll have a lot of challenges to go through. I still need to learn a lot of things. But if I have to go through things, I want to be the best Noel Yulo out there. It's not about if I can approach a girl anytime or anywhere, it's not about doing something stupid just to prove I am bad, it's simply about getting getting better and making people around me better. I'm not the best example out there but I just want to show the world that I can be good at the right place at the right time. So I set 2013 as the Year of the Bad-Ass. The year I will totally close out any fear, be tough on a  lot of things and kick ass on whatever that I do.

Grabbing on every opportunity. Improve every weakness. Enhance all strengths. Be better in every aspect. Achieve every goal. Inspire the weak. Beat the best. Ready for the worst. Overcome the bad. Collect victories. Clamor at every win. Learn from defeat. God-fearing, ass-whooping, tough-minded....always.
