Rollercoaster Ride in 2015

"2015 will be the year of revenge, the year of opportunities, the year of chances!"

This was I claiming about 2015.

1. Year of Revenge

- I must say that one of the things I'm thankful for this year is handling my boss properly. Out of 10, 8 times I was able to shake off all he said and that's a good thing! And one of my goals in my career has been received!

2. Year of Opportunities

- One major impact of my stay here in UAE is being with my twinsis! She gave me strength in times when I think I an alone. A lot has been experienced. Places such as Miracle Garden & Dubai Aquarium, events such as Planetshakers Concert & Conferences in Armani Hotel, people such as Feast Jebel Ali family and the list goes on. 

3. Year of Chances

- I'm proud to say that I am able to share my blessings to Pia through World Vision, to save and invest more. I haven't achieved yet my goals financially but I was able to start again and that I am grateful! :)

So far, as I've observed my 2015 started great! I was able to spend the New Year with my family in the Philippines then my Chu and I spent a lot, visiting tourist spots here in UAE and eating in several different restos. 

Then it became challenging since my Honey is experiencing (until now) struggles in his life and I am supporting him.

One time this month, I had a chance for an expert to read my palm. He said that my 2016 will be my bounce year!

When he informed me that, I was ecstatic! I'm excited for the things to come!

I believe this success and hardship happen for a reason: for us to learn and be BETTER!

As I always say, there is no way but UP!

Thank You 2015 for all the learnings!!!

Thank You for the challenges! Thank you for the ride!

See you, 2016!

Merry Christmas in Dubai

This 2015, I celebrated Christmas away from home, my family for the first time.

Thank You God for friends and colleagues who are there to make me feel loved this Holiday season. 

First of all, the odds are in our favor when December 24th (a Thursday) is a holiday. We were able to celebrate the Christmas in our own way. (Sometimes work interferes with our plans right)

I have attended Christmas Parties which I am thankful for! 

Thank you for the company, food and gifts! I will update more photos since I don't have pictures from one Christmas Party I attended from our office buildingmates! :D

I am also grateful with these precious December memories! 

They are all priceless! Thank you for spending your time with me! :) 

I also want to take note those two 12-minute calls I had with my family in the Philippines on 24th and 25th of December that made me tear up and joyful with all their Thanks from our gift! I wonder what they will shop! Haha! I love my family! TT_TT

Happy Birthday Jesus! 

Merry Christmas Everyone! 

I have an unforgettable Christmas! 

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE! 

Cheers to all of us! 

Christmas Feels

One more day to go and it is Christmas.

Christmas in Dubai. 

I will be celebrating this season untraditionally.

Happiness is a choice. I have to be happy this Christmas even if I don't have my whole family with me. 

I have struggles along the way. This season is not smooth sailing but I gave what I have. 

Hopefully, I will be feeling the Christmas. 

It is my choice, anyway. 

I have to shake it off and be happy! 

I will keep you posted.

Merry Christmas!! 🎅🏼

December Blues

When December came, I was excited since Christmas is coming.

And at the same time, I feel sad because it is my first time to spend this season without my family. 

Yes, first time in my WHOLE life. 

I come to realize that time really flies so fast. We are not kids anymore. 

Thankfully, we have the social media which brings families together. 

I am updated with the lives of my family and that is enough. 

I have also my family in Christ which I love and respect dearly. We may be coming from different walks of life but God united us as one! 

And ofcourse, I have my Chu (who have work on holidays :(( ) and my Honey who are extremely special to me. 

Here in UAE, we had a 2 day holiday plus weekends so that's 4 days of no work which means HAPPINESS for me! 

I spent it with those people I've mentioned and I am grateful. ❤️

Thank You Lord! 

There may be storms and thunders, but You are there to protect us! We have Faith in You! 

Advance Happy Birthday! :)
