The Best Of the Best Ofs

By Gilmarie Brioso on December 30, 2012

It is about that time again. We will be celebrating the New Year in two days; but before the infamous countdown commences, a few other countdowns usually take place.

It is around this time that we are bombarded with what I like to call The Best Of lists, which wring at our nostalgic hearts and remind us of the funniest, ugliest, scariest, most unbelievable, most scandalous moments of the past year.

Coming across these lists is inevitable, created for almost every field: fashion, sports, media, technology, etc. So I have gathered a few of The Best Of lists that I have encountered. Let us take a look back at the most memorable moments of 2012.
