Report Card 2012

Gillboard posted his Report Card for 2012. I created mine last year and when I saw that his post, I feel frightened. 2012 was really not a good year for me. It was also not bad. However, knowing all the mishaps I’ve been through this year, even though I haven’t started this grading sheet, I know I failed already.

The past is already here to haunt me. And a blogger needs to do what a blogger needs to do, so without further ado, let’s do this!

CAREER 80% (2011 – 90%)

I worked for the same company for three years. It was the longest that I’ve been through in any institutions. I should be happy, but part of me has been in the darker shade of things throughout the year. Instances happened where I just coasted along. I worked hard only for the pay and never aimed for something that will help me grow. Man, I am embarrassed.

Days transpired where I contemplated on resigning and just go back to the old industry where I came from. Negative thoughts succeeded to affect how I performed. This year, I was still the rebel in the company. And yes, I am still embarrassed with how things turned out.

SOCIAL LIFE 80% (2012 - 85%)

This year, all I wanted was to be alone. Maybe I went through a lot of stuff and I really never wanted anything, or anyone, distracting me.

Yeah, I made a lot of friends for sure, but I also lost some of them.

Believe me, it happens.

LOVE LIFE 70% (2011 - 78%)

Another year of single-blessedness. LOL.

I’d rather be alone because I don’t want anything distracting me, never expect that there may be an increase this year.

BLOG LIFE 95% (2011 - 98%)

Thank goodness to blogging, there was still something I can be proud about. I survived another year maintaining this page and joining several blog groups and blog memes. I met a lot of awesome writers, dreamers and friends who motivated me to make every post worth writing.

I appreciate every single one of them.

Compared to last year’s stats, definitely, this year was way better. I still need to work on my grammar, though. Well, what the heck?

SAVINGS 70 % (2011 - 75%)

I failed last year and this year. This trend should stop, and as I write this down, I am already planning how I can make next year better.

HEALTH 80% (2011 – 80%)

I promised that I will work on my smoking this year and it never happened. Though, I never been hospitalized, I knew that my body became weaker. The only thing that I will promise is to make sure that this section will improve next year

AVERAGE 79.16 %

**********************************

I failed big time this year. Now, the only thing that I am thankful for is the strength this activity gave me in acknowledging how weak I became in all aspects of my entirety. There is definitely nothing to be proud of but, as always, there is something to be optimistic for.

Though 2012 was an epic failure, the year also thought me loads of lessons that motivated me to do better next year.

All I can hope now is that the world will never end on the 21^st. I still have plans. The dreams are stills there for them to be realized. And no matter how embarrassing writing about it was, I won’t give up.

What is your grade for this year?

Report Card 2011

I got the idea from Gillboard. It was a boring night in the office and my eyes got sleepy reading Sherlock Holmes’ “The Valley of Fear.” Also, this will be my first time doing this. Grading myself makes me nervous. I know it’s really narcissistic, but if I will not do this I will not have anything that will show if I grow or if there is any possibility if I’ve improved.

Let me tell you how it works first, I will grade myself in five aspects, like what Gillboard did. The six criteria (wow!) will be career, social life, love life, blog life, health and savings. Grades will be like the number that is shown on a normal report card, highest will be 100%, and lowest will be 75%. Fair enough. Grading will take place annually. Since this will be my first time doing this, the results will be my standard for next year.

With these criteria, I really have to use my QA skills this time. I have to be complacent, analytical, objective enough, and just rely on factual observations.

Here we go.

CAREER 90%

Basically, I did well this year. I already consider it an achievement staying on a company for two years. Yeah, before I have thoughts of resigning, and just go back to the Call Center Industry where definitely the salary is greater. But, I was able to stay.

I am also thinking how I was able to do it. I know that what I am getting now is way below than what I use to get before, but there are certain things in my company now that really make me stick with it. Aside from the bonuses being evenly distributed throughout the year, I guess what makes me stay is, unlike my job before, I don’t feel that I am stuck. Every day, I am learning something. Work is also easy. There will be days where I will be busy; hence, petiks is also abundant.

I think I just start aiming for a promotion in order to increase my grade next year.

SOCIAL LIFE 85%

I made a lot of friends this year. Aside from that, I was able to establish really good relationships with my clan mates, office mates both here and abroad, and my housemates. Definitely, I was still the shy kid who gets awkward in social occasions however gaining my friends and having them understand my moods and attitude is already bliss.

LOVE LIFE 78%

I know I fail with this one. This past year, I am single. Though it was really my choice, I know I could have done better. I could have gone out on dates, be friendly to people who showed interests on me, yadah yadah yadah. But, being this way makes me better.

A friend once said that being single is not a problem that needs to be solved. I think I just have to rely on that for the meantime.

BLOG LIFE 98%

I know I aced this. Haha. From almost not blogging, to having 15 wonderful followers, above 5000 hits, and greater than 100 posts, I am really proud of myself. This is really starting to be an I-Love –Myself post. Haha.

Though I know I still have a lot to improve. I know my blogging skills is not that superb, maybe I need to really learn how to edit my page, or do better on my writing skills, I should also get my own camera and maybe stop blogging on a computer shop. haha!

Makauwi na nga ng Sariaya, makuha na ang laptop!

SAVINGS 75%

I failed. I will definitely start on this aspect next year. Maybe I should stop indulging on good food and wonderful books. Haha. Enough said. :p

HEALTH 80%

Probably, if I don’t smoke, my grade will be higher. But I am still not ready to give it up yet, promise, I will work on it next year.

I was also sent to a hospital this year because of stress related chest pain. I will definitely work on not getting that serious with things.

Aside from that, all my sickness was reasons to party. Yeah, baby!

Now I have to average my score, this part makes me nervous. :)

AVERAGE: 84.33%

Whew, I thought I will fail big time, but this is good enough.

It’s nice doing this. It was scary at first but it’s comforting. Knowing how well and poor you did, and understanding what you have to work on in the coming year calms my nerves.

Right now, there is no other way but to go up.

Thanks Gillboard for the amazing idea! Your turn, how well did you do this year?
