So #Badass2013 technically didn't work out. I didn't end up swooping chicks left and right. I wasn't able to mold a well-chiseled body. I may have look cool on certain occasions but nevertheless I'm still that "quiet guy". 2013 wasn't the year I wanted to happen but overall was still a good year for me. For one, I got a girlfriend, which was practically the highlight of my year. As much as it ended a very long drought for me, it also caused a lot of changes in me. For someone who wanted me to be a badass, lets just say I cried more than a normal man should. On top of that, I transferred to a new workplace and got promoted quickly which was a nice thing, career-wise. I met a lot of new people and made a lot of friends as well. So yeah, 2013 may have not that been "badass" as I hoped it would be but it was a great year nevertheless. So with 2013 ending and with the start of 2014, what does Noel Yulo have in mind? Well, I'm not going to make any promises, resolutions or even "gimmicky" transformations. For 2014 I'm just simply going to be "A Better Me".
Reality wise I want a lot of things for myself. I know what I want to have, what I want to achieve and what I want to be. But these things don't happen in a snap of a finger. Sometimes you just have to take it slow and take baby steps making sure you achieve what you set out yourself to be. Truth be told I have slowly achieved some of them but I still have long ways to go. I'm in the process already of establishing a career, a love life and an identity. I make a lot of fuzz in the past about stuff that I want that I forget the basics. At my age I'm already living a life and all I need to do is just get better. Every day that you wake up is a learning experience and an opportunity to grow. I have set these goals in the past and maybe its time that I actually achieve all of them. I wanted a well-chiseled body, then I'll workout that. I want to entertain people like no other, then I need to do start making material. I want to be admired, then I have to do something that will turn heads. Wants that become needs, all it takes is just a lot of focus and I can pretty much say I am up to the challenge.
With all the potential I have, it's a shame why I haven't really gotten far in life, why I haven't achieve all I wanted to achieve, why I am not yet what I want to be. But maybe for now I just got to be who I am, still be Noel Yulo but a better one. I'm still young, I know what is right and wrong, I do both good and bad stuff, but I am happy with myself. I guess its just all in perspective what I need to do to be better. As 2014 starts I need to take every day as if its my last. Grab every opportunity there is, make one if possible and just do whatever needs to get the job done. I may or may not live up to my words for this year but I got 365 days to try. So yeah sure, 2014 can be an extension of Badass 2013, but what matters most is that its another year to learn new knowledge, experience new things and best of all a great opportunity to improve myself, take things to the next level, to be a better me.
