Life | Five Things in January 01

G O O D   T H I N G S   H A P P E N E D .

Let's talk about them.

Last year I had a Currently series, a summary of every month written at the end of said-month. This is a spin-off from that. Instead of summing life in categories, it would be easier to pick the five highlights of the month. Whether goals, or products or events.

So here is the first post of F I V E   T H I N G S...

I updated the layout early this month to celebrate the new year. I mentioned it in my Personal Goals for 2016 that it was one of my blogging goals. It was a change this blog needed. But a change goes beyond just a new theme.

Posts will be slightly different. Most posts will also be shorter and condensed though there will be exceptions. I will also try to post Every Tuesday, Friday & Sunday. Tuesday and Fridays being regular ol' beauty/fashion/lifestyle posts. Sunday being a accompanying post to that week's video. .

Results came out a few days ago. I received mine at nine at night. The dreaded text lighting my phone in the dim evening. My heart pounding and hands sweating, I was ready to face judgement.

Thankfully, it wasn't so bad. I did not hate them. Which is the best I can say. The results are satisfactory and many hugs were received. If all goes well this year, I hope I'll be able to study Law in the UK soon. Parents hoping, teachers and I'm hoping. A lot of hoping this year.

A new venture I didn't expect to enter. I uploaded my first video a few weeks ago. An introduction to the Youtubes and discussed how terrifying it is. Most of the fear was listening to my own horrid voice.

I understand improvement comes with time. My channel, Bash Harry, is just starting out and so far reception is mostly positive. I doubt it will be my main focus this year but it is still exciting. Think of it as another step to whatever next I'll be doing.

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks because of Seeds Brunei. It has made me a busy bee.Most of January was spent in my old primary school hall. Creating props, watching actors, and promoting the show.

I've been in this dramatic society for almost five years. Each year making me feel older as a new generation comes in. Now that the show has ended, we have Appreciation Night to look forward to. Which has always been bittersweet. Though this appreciation night will be more bitter than sweet.

I started the year with the end of my first giveaway. Collaborating with amazing local brands to give something back.  I'll be sure to do another giveaway even if they can be time-consuming. It was exciting and so much fun.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated but there can only be two winners. So congratulations Sarah Audu and Kristeen Mackay! Sarah wins Set A, and Kristeen gets Set B. I've already emailed them and now waiting for their response.



January was an active month, but I presume February will be even busier.

I like to think January as a starter month, which it is. A preview of how the rest of the year would be like. The last January, which revealed the livid months to come, this January was bright and busy. That's good.

I hope it will remain that way.

How was your January?
