    Okay, looks like it's time for me to get serious one more time, and lately I've been thinking about my memories in the past, specifically what happened last year, when I was in PC. For me, 2014 is more of a failure than it was of a success because what I have been through, even though I stated that it was a blast despite of full of ups and downs on one of my previous blog entries. But yet, 2014 delivers something that was unexpected for me when I'm going through it at the end.

    In the beginning of 2014, Twiggy started to give me something that turned me into what we call the Gold Tier of PC Supporter nowadays (well, it was before I got the expansion to become Crystal Tier now). I'm psyched by it, but then, it was also the beginning of the state when I was becoming sad…

    A day after I have the Supporter privilege, I was having an incident that I started to learn that I shouldn't trust just about anybody if I want to ask for help, and since then, I was having fear when I'm talking to anyone and not receiving answers, and the issue bothers me even when I was on rehearsal and was performing on stage. And another incident several months later makes me almost lose my hope, until… that day comes.

    In June 1st, after the stage, I was invited to go swimming with my fellow friends, who are also involved with stage performance. They said to me they wanted to discuss about the band's performance in overall, so I think I will join in, and I'm swimming for the first time after years. But there's much more to dive because after that, I was given some pep talk and encouragement by one of the guest.

    Since then, I find my strength to keep going, and I started to be appointed as a staff at a certain Showdown server that I visit, keeping active at PC and keep doing my best to the point when I noticed that… not to brag, I find myself getting the title for Favorite Male in MotY 2014 (along with 3 other friendly friends) when I did not expect it. Personally, I don't think that I deserve all of this because of many things that happened last year, but I'm grateful that somehow I'm able to get it. It's because of grace and also, the newfound strength of never giving up despite of many troubles that I was having.

    So, being success is not only about never giving up, but also about how we'll find strength to continue no matter what, and it will turn the failure into a success. Even if you're having tears today, I know someday that you'll have the courage to dash through it and become the best like no one ever was. I'm still having lots to learn even when I'm writing this, but I hope that you'll keep going strong and be victorious!
