Life Doesn't Come with Instructions

Friday the 13th Bad Luck decided to leave my ass alone. My Friday the 13th was great. I braved myself to Werner's alone. I had too much beers and the bartenders were so generous providing me a free and steady flow of shooters seeing I was alone at the bar. I left my cocky ass somewhere back home and strike up random conversations, meeting great people along the way; great girls to be exact. They, being lesbians, fended off sleazy guys for me. Another 'I surprise myself'! Hitting the bar alone takes quite bit of courage and luck! Just so you know, I'm not turning lesbian.
I need to rise above hate. I told myself not to get dragged down by things that sucked balls like I used to. I'm trying get done being pissed at the recent guy, let's call him cochon (tribute to his 2nd language. Not referring to his physical/attitude... pigs are cute, aren't they?) and be in good terms with him. One grudge off so with all the stupid stuff's behind my back, I'm ready to sail ahead.
Saturday was also another different day too, I helped out in an orphanage event at camp 5 which actually kind of contributed to my 'a couple of new things to learn in 2012 list'; indoor rock climbing.
I totally photobombed this shot. LOL. Honestly I was trying my best to stay awake and fight the hangover though in this photo I was probably watching a group of guys doing the freestyle spiderman thingamajig; they called it bouldering.

I had no absolute idea what to begin with my list this year to be honest. I failed miserably last year; I didn't learn ice-skating as planned. The desire just wasn't there. The only thing I managed to do was learning Japanese.
I hope I can keep up with it this year. A 30 minute-kickboxing last week 'inspired' by cochon was great but kickboxing was just too expensive. I was a bit cautious when I found out the trainer assigned to me was a girl but turned out she has extensive experience in martial arts... need I say more? She's awesome.
I also met a friend who shares similar interests and she too has just went through something similar to my experience with cochon. We spent a couple of hours talking about our 'predicaments' and it really does feel great talking to someone who understands. Hopefully it's a start to a long-lasting friendship.
I will try to remember a few important things MCP told me before. First and foremost, always keep myself fit. My journey in this life is still very long. And also, the keyword for me this year is courage. So when I falter and forget that along the way in this year, please be a good samaritan and pick me up and remind me to be courageous.
