The YEAR in REVIEW


2012...
will soon be coming to an END...
Let's have a quick recap of how thing's turned out...
So far there's no obvious signs of dooms day coming on... But I guess time will tell...
2012 has been an year of so many changes, we've had love come and go, we've had troubled moments, drunk ones and some amazing ones. We've learnt a few lessons and tried out some incredible new things. Since I've always loved quotes, especially the ones that leave a little bit of wisdom behind. Let me tell you a short story about my
2012...

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.
-Charlie Chaplin



We learn to trust, we learn to give in to our emotions and once in a while we let ourselves grow. Experiences are much like the tears we shed in order to leave some memories behind.
So do we let go or give in?
Our relationships may not always be permanent, obviously no human interaction is... But there's always something to be learnt. And for me that lesson was, that if ever there is any doubt, there is good reason for it.

In the face of happiness, we like to predict disaster...
In the face of disaster, we try to understand it...

We all experienced a nauseating, butterfly farting February 14th which I spent alone. Actually I was in the company of some gr8 movies and food, which is kind of what we all need... Meanwhile, old pictures resurfaced...





2012 was an year I decided to be more optimistic about life. It may have been filled with quite a lot of disappointments but, hey! if this monkey could do it... So could I...


I was reunited with old friends, which I was in great need of... Among best friends, there's rarely secrets and most of all almost always there's a great deal of fun.






There's always so much energy, so much laughter & most of all... So much LOVE... And more laughter...

I found out that my sister thought that the car radio ran on fuel. Yes, Dishni!! It was you!!!
I made a few amazing friends, while some old memories were addressed and their meanings sort out...

"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
-Oscar Wilde

The French language was mastered a little bit more and a few new examz were done and over with & my cousin introduced me to Geo-caching...

"Growing up... *Sigh* No one told me it was this hard... :P :P"
- Yoshith Perera

We lost the amazing Miss Whitney Houston... May she rest in Peace... We were introduced to the amazing Ed Sheeran and a few new artists through the X-factor. Pink's and Phillip Phillips' new album came out!!!


Just when it can't get worse,
I've had a shit day,
Have you had a shit day?
We've had a shit day!!!..
I think I've had enough of this!!...
- Pink

Pipe dreams and astronauts were encountered at the Ontario Science Center...

Intense birthdays were celebrated, some of us turned 25, others 30... However no quarter life crisis yet... 

Some amazing places were visited...





It was an amazing year for my sister cause she tied the knot with a great guy. And I did get to be in the wedding... :P



 


"At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities."
-Jean Houston

Some awesome TV shows came around... VEEP, The Mindy Project... Some of our favorite TV shows came to an end... Merlin... Some wonderful movies were premiered in 2012, Ted, Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, The Avengers & The Hobbit. Some awkward but interesting movies were also produced, Hope Springs & The Dictator...



"Maybe", it's a vicious little word that could slay you...

New words were learned... Liarrhea!!!

I watched the entire series of "Friends" for the 10th consecutive time and I still love IT!!! That is definitely one of the greatest comedies ever created and I'm sure I will watch it all over again in 2013... 



"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words"
- Calvin & Hobbes

"Si vis pacem, para bellum..." If you seek peace... Prepare for war...

No matter how much we bargain with God...We will lose the ones we love... But after they are gone, we never forget them... EVER!!


Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it.
-Michel de Montaigne

A love for photography was captured...


And of course I began blogging, which turned out to be one of my favorite pass times, ever. Where I continue to instill my creative and kiddish frustrations into, but there's something about sharing these little bits of love, sorrow, doubt and hope with so many people. Some of whom may actually get it and understand while others click "next blog" without a moment's haste. So you stop feeling alone... 
Cause someone's actually understanding you... All the way from South Africa...

So that's been my 2012... 

Are you happy with your 2012?? Cause I AM!!
