WINS AND LOSSES: Week-1 (Introduction)

Good day, dear hivers! It's @riona09 again, back with another blog! How's your 2026 so far? If it's running smoothly for you guys then I'm sad to say that we aren't in the same page.

The first week of 2026 was very chaotic and stressful for me (as a graduating student). But of course it doesn't hinder me from enjoying the new year, actually.

So, this new year, I bet everyone has their own new year's resolutions, am I right? Because I got mine too, hehehe. For me, this year was different from those other new years where I set new resolutions and goals I wanted to achieve for that specific year. This time, I noticed that I am more determine and serious about the goals I set for myself and for the future.

In this blog, I wanted to introduce to you one of my daily contents from now on, and this is what I call "Wins and Losses". This is one of my new year's resolution, to be aware of what's actually happening in my life, to be proud of what I have accomplished and to seek for growth and improvement.

WHERE DID I GET THIS IDEA FROM?

For those who may not know me pretty well, I am an avid reader of fictional stories, specially romance. I read stories on an app called "Wattpad" and I have this favorite author that really gave me tons of life advices that I didn't knew I needed.

I am currently reading one of her on-going story which entitled, "Could have been but never was". There's this part where the characters were going to write their Wins and Losses every Saturday and that became their tradition.

I like the idea of doing it because I felt like it'll serve as my weekly self-observation but more like a therapy. Each week, I wanted to share my wins and losses so I could keep track about my progress and of course, which aspect of my life that needs to be improve.

So, here it is.

MY WINS

For college, I have a dream University in mind where I really wanted to pursue my dream course. I applied for it and later on, they emailed me about the entrance examination. I studied really hard for it.

The examination was last week and for me it was a win. The part where I got the opportunity to take the exam and prove to myself that I can do it was already a big win. I prayed for it and then it was granted.

MY LOSSES

For my loss, it was walking out the examination room not feeling confident if I can pass it. I was not confident enough that I secured that spot.

I mean, the exam was okay and I can't say it's easy but it's bareable. I was able to answer but I just don't know if those answers where enough for me to pass.

This was the worst part of the whole journey. I cannot assure myself if I'll pass and until now I am overthinking things.

....

That's it, dear hivers! I hope I got to entertain you today and thank you for reading until the end. Stay stunned about my wins and losses this week! See you on my next blog!
