The end of 2012 is near. It has been a crazy year but in a good way. In July I received my associates degree and continued on to study for a bachelors degree. In August I had to be induced to delivery my son at 37 weeks due to severe IUGR (growth restriction). My placenta pretty much quit doing its job. He was born at 4 pounds and spent two weeks in the NICU but it didnt take him long to grow which he didnt do since 31 weeks of pregnancy. My daughter turned 2 today. Her turning two is bitter sweet. As a baby I did not have it easier with her either. She was hospitalized at 2 months because of a late onset of group b strep which is deadly. My family is complete. I wanted a daughter and a son and this year I have just that! My father who is mentally ill has become stable this year. I am blessed! Would you say this year has been a good year for you or not so good?

This year have its flavorful taste. A bit of everything but overall it is a blessed year full of togetherness, love and fun! We did not go any oversea holiday besides Singapore beginning of this year. We were hoping to get a new car or a holiday in Japan / New Zealand but it have not come to pass. But we enjoyed our Universal Studio Singapore very much especially the Transformer Rides. Blessed with quite a number of F&B hotel vouchers, etc. Sick for 3 weeks continuously down with flu, cough and toothache. Got a new job lately .... hopefully things will get better day by day. I am staying on positive mode! Blessed Christmas everyone ........

I really did not have a good 2012. My mother passed Feb. 20 2012. I had a friend whose still in the hospital from a brain anuerysm. I am fortunate that I have good friends to see me through these hard times. I really wanted 2012 to be over, but it's coming up on the first anniversary of my mothers passing so that will still be hard in 2013.

I hope things get better soon and my prayers are sent your way as the anniversary of your mother passing is coming soon. I am so glad that you have friends near your side! I read about too many people being alone as we head into a new year.

I'm glad things turned out in your favor from going bad to good that's great. This year was a great year for me. I'm still with the man of my dreams I met him march 2011 and still together to this day. He's helped me thru alot of stuff. My family has grown closer together now then we ever been. My other niece was born that just turned 1 in November. I hope 2013 turns to be a better year for all of us. I can't wait to bring in the new year!

Hiya EV., A mixture really it did not start to go right at all till about April last year and things calmed down quite a lot for a time with flare ups of problems here and there to sort like a good many other People. So glad your children are doing well now that is a real blessing for you. Pretty good year all in all though. Wonder how we will all fare in this one?xxx

This year is one of the most successful year for me. Not only with my online career but also with my offline career. Many things had happened, many lonely moments, full of trials but in the end, I can say, that I won the battle. Happy New Year!

This has been a good year for me. It brought a lot of opportunities that I never thought possible. I earned some cash online! I also got into some problems in my personal life. Some quarrels with my GF and family. But all in all, I can say that 2012 has been a wonderful year for me.
